njero njeneng Mbelis seng gedhi
kulo mbakar menyan seng wangi
diasep karo wadhah menyan geni
soko seko mbahku dadhi medhi

ya, Sombrong kulo asepi siro
Sombrong njoto ngelehi getih
getih abhang seng apik meneng
kulo rethi siro ngelehi getih

mbengi iki mbengi Jemuah Kliwon
mbengi iki mbengi seng apik
mbengi iki didhusoi karo getih
mbengi iki wulan ngambang kebhek

kulo adhusi siro karo mbanyu kelopo
kulo kelambeni siro karo mbatang pisang
kulo wangeni siro karo limo purut
kulo asepi siro karo menyan medhi

mugo siro dadhi ngageh ngayah
dendheman kulo hurong meneng entek
karepan kulo siro entok tuneke karepan
mabhurlah siro... mabhur... mabhur... mabhur...

sohsidhi guru kulo dadhi nang kulo

THE NARRATION :
Once upon a time...
in the ages of my youth...
I've spend my time to stayed at my late grandfather's home...
It is a Friday's night in fullmoon of 15th Kliwon...
I'm peeping my late grandfather doing some
descendant's ritual ceremony by his mouth mumbling
some mantra and spells...
In his hand grasping the dagger
and it's called kris of Sombrong...
The symbol of revenge !!!
By a bowl of water, eggs, incense of Kemenyan, purut lemons
among him...
Beside his left have a lying banana's stem
and upright bamboo's stem containing coconut's water...
Sombrong was stabbed on the banana's stem
and immerse into the coconut's water forthwith dry away
upright-down on a smoked trace of burning incense...
The fragrant smells fills the air...
My late grandfather's mouth continuosly mumbling...
Ahhh...
It's seems like Sombrong's bathing ceremony
and maybe tonight She will doing some job for him...
I think !!!
I'm shocked and jerked that someone calling my name...
Oh, it's my late grandmother calling me to have my dinner...
Afterwards, I don't know what happen
that I've seen just now because I have my sleep already...
For me, this is a flowers of my youth...
