‘Suliram’ is an Indonesian lullaby that Makeba heard from Indonesian slaves in Africa that was taken by the Dutch.
The real name is actually ‘Soleram’ though.
The song tells us about a sweet (manis) and wise (bijak) girl named ‘Soleram’.
Suliram, Suliram, ram, ram
Suliram yang manis
Aduhai indung seorang
Bijaklah sana, dipandang manis
Tinggilah, tinggi, si matahari
Suliram, anaklah kerbau mati tertambat
Suliram, sudahlah lama saya mencari
Baru sekarang saya mendapat
La Suliram, Suliram, ram, ram
Suliram yang manis
Aduhai indung seorang
Bijaklah sana, dipandang manis
Suliram was produced by Bob Bollard.
