186 MALAY NURSERY RHYMES. 



Undang-undang papan, 



Surat dalam buloh. 

 Tunang delapan, 



Gimdek tujoh-puloh. 



The following are cradle-songs : — 



Mang siku rimaug ! 



Makan buah berangan babi. 

 Ashi k kan bert i mang, 



Iverja satn pun fa' jadi. 



Shipang mandak-ku shipang, 



Shipang kaki sa-mola. 

 Sha-mola kuang-kuit 



Sha-mola kuai-kapai. 



.Susu lemak manis, 



Santan kelapa muda. 

 Che Busu jangan menangis, 



Di-upah tandok kuda. 



Kuda kuda kang: 



Puehok mali-mali. 

 Hari sudah petang, 



Di-pujok 'che busu mari. 



Pok amai-amai, 



Belalang kupu-kupu. 

 Bertepok pandai-pandai, 



Malam sekarang upah susu. 



U-auk avam banting; 



U-auk ayani depar. 

 Tong tong paku, 



Paku tanah liat aui. 



Liat tali timba, 



Awang panelling bulan aui 

 Bulan ta' ku-beri. 



Maulud enjak aui 



Enjak buloh betong 



Awang takok buloh aui. 



Many of the lines are in baby-language; and some probably 

 nonsense.
