[Verse 1]

Wong lanang gak rokokan, gak tatoan

A man who doesn't smoke, doesn't have tattoos

Ora mabok, lanang opo roon ron?

Doesn't get drunk, is he even a man?

Pamit nang bojo, budal tarung

Says goodbye to his wife, goes off to fight

Tibak e ngopi nok Bu Lely

Turns out he's just having coffee at Bu Lely's

[Chorus]

Jare mental lanang, jare wani trabas

They say they have a man's spirit, they say they're brave enough to break through

Ketok jalur kali, watu

When they see a river path, rocks

Jare mental lanang, jare wani trabas

They say they have a man's spirit, they say they're brave enough to break through

Ketok jalur kali, watu

When they see a river path, rocks

[Verse 2]

Jare cah trabas, motor e trail

They say they're a trail rider, their motorcycle is a trail bike

Gaya e sangar, koyo pembalap

Their style is fierce, like a racer

Tibak e purak-purak

Turns out it's just pretending

Mental e tahu tempe godog

Their spirit is like boiled tofu and tempeh

[Chorus]

Jare mental lanang, jare wani trabas

They say they have a man's spirit, they say they're brave enough to break through

Ketok jalur kali, watu

When they see a river path, rocks

[Bridge]

Mbahompong, tenan ta kowe

Mbahompong, are you really

Wani trabas, nganti tekan ngendi

Brave enough to break through, how far can you go?

Opo mung jare, mental tahu tempe

Or is it just talk, with a tofu-tempeh spirit?

[Chorus]

Jare mental lanang, jare wani trabas

They say they have a man's spirit, they say they're brave enough to break through

Ketok jalur kali, watu

When they see a river path, rocks

Jare mental lanang, jare wani trabas

They say they have a man's spirit, they say they're brave enough to break through

Ketok jalur kali, watu

When they see a river path, rocks

Lines explained

“Ora mabok, lanang opo roon ron?”

Doesn't get drunk, is he even a man?

This line uses a rhetorical question to imply that a 'real man' should engage in certain 'manly' behaviors like smoking, having tattoos, and drinking, setting up the humorous contrast with the characters in the song.

“Mental e tahu tempe godog”

Their spirit is like boiled tofu and tempeh

The phrase 'mental e tahu tempe godog' (their spirit is like boiled tofu and tempeh) is a Javanese idiom meaning someone is weak-willed, easily intimidated, or lacks courage. Tofu and tempeh are soft foods, and 'boiled' emphasizes their lack of firmness.

“Wani trabas, nganti tekan ngendi”

Brave enough to break through, how far can you go?

'Wani trabas' literally means 'brave enough to break through' or 'dare to penetrate'. In the context of the song, it refers to off-roading or tackling difficult terrain, but also metaphorically to facing challenges with courage.
