Tanah Bugis Negeri Manis

               Tanah bugis

               Negeri manis

               Mentari atas keningmu

               Tanahmu

               Lembahmu yang luas

                                                                                                                     Puji milik kita

                                                                                                                     Kepada doa panjang

                                                                                                                     Kecapi jejaka kampung

                                                                                                                     Menyebut namanya

              Tanah bugi 

              Negeri manis

              Perawan meremas jari

              Menanti akhir panen

              Jika lalu

              Menduduki kursi pengantin

                                                                                                                   Tanah Bugis

                                                                                                                   Negiri manis

                                                                                                                   Biru air laut

                                                                                                                   Kuning padi sawah

                                                                                                                   Ikan asin di keringkang

                                                                                                                   Bila sore
                                                                                                                   Nelayan pulang

                                                                                                                   Hanyutkan gelisah

                                                                                                                   Di rumah tinggi

                                                                                                                   Berpelukan dengan istri

          Tanah bugis

          Negeri manis

          Ketika senja datang

          Danau tempe terbaring

          Dingin bercahaya

          Ikan-ikan kecil berenang

         Tampak cantik sekali

                                                                                                                    Bagi warisah  ayah

                                                                                                                    Untuk sitti kakakku

                                                                                                                    Pesta perkawinan

                                                                                                                    Untuk saya adikmu

                                                                                                                    Biaya sekolah

        Tanah bugis

        Negeri manis

        Duhai 

        Dara pingitan

        Dalam kamar menangis

        Karena adat

        Di negeri moyang

        Menanti dan berharap

        Karena lamaran di tolak
       Mengendap sakit hati

       Keriput di dahi

       Menjadi tua 

       Tanpa suami
