“On The Bragaweg”

O lovely ladies of Bandoeng
I could burst into song
When I see you go along
On the Bragaweg

I rate you high in looks
Far above the picture books
A real delight : to the sight
On the Bragaweg

Now Alas I’m going away
And no more, before midday,
Shall I linger, stare and stay
On the Bragaweg

But I hope some lucky day
Once again to make my way
And to beauty my homage pay
On the Bragaweg

(English admirer from Singapore)
