Ta'iem bek taklik le
Nyak lheuh ujeun na matauroe
Sagop jipot le angen teuka
Uleu Raja Timoh

Taplueng beuteuga nyak
Tadrop Uleu Raja Timoh
Iku jih di gunong
Ulee jih seunom u laot

Linteung sayeup tapo
Beumanyang dipot lam awan
Taduek siat beulale
Tacom lheuh nyan tatren tingeut lam lumueng ma

Beudoh nyak tabeudoh
Uleu Raja Timoh ka teuka
Mirah kuneng ijo
Biru nila ungu Ngon jingga

Ceudah that wareuna
Nyak meugloh di kaki langet
Teubiet tajak u lua
Tadrop Uleu Raja Timoh

English translation

Kid, be quite and stop crying
There is a sun after the rain
The fog blew by the wind
Then the rainbow show up

Run as fast as you can
So you can chase the rainbow
Its tail is on the mountain
Its head is into the sea

Flap your wings and fly high
Flying high until reach the cloud
Have a rest for a while then go down
After that kiss and sleep on mother's lap..

Kid, get up and look around
The rainbow is coming now
Red yellow green blue indigo violet and orange
Those all colorful indeed
Let's go out and chase the rainbow
