I really enjoy the Peranakan culture as I am a Malay myself. Hopefully the new generation Peranakans will be able to defend their culture, as the Malay culture is already eroding currently. For me, I really enjoy making Peranakan-Malay cuisine which are taught by my own matriarchs: my grandma and mom. Anyway, this instrumental piece is from the Malay song Si Paku Lanang.
Aduh lanang, hai, si paku lanang Lament this man, this hard-headed man Lanang ada di sawah padi There he is among the paddy fields Bukanlah lanang si mabuk pinang, sayang He’s not giddy from eating the areca-nut palm, love Lananglah mabuk si jantung hati (x2) Rather he is giddy with love Buah mengkudu, buah mengkudu buah delima The noni, the noni and the pomegranate Dibawa belayar, bawa belayar ke Kuala Deli Brought to sail, brought to sail to Kuala Deli Usah ditunggu, cik adik sayang, sekian lama Cease from waiting, dear lady, so long Ambillah hamba cik adik, ohoi, sebagailah ganti Take me instead, dear lady, as a substitute Aduh lanang, hai, si paku lanang Lament this man, this hard-headed man Lanang sedang menyiram baja There he is sowing the seeds Bukanlah lanang si mabuk pinang, sayang He’s not giddy from eating the areca-nut palm, love Lananglah mabuk memandang dara (x2) Rather he is giddy from gazing the lady Buah delima, buah delima buah mengkudu The pomegranate, the pomegranate and the noni Setiba di Deli, tiba di Deli dilarikan orang Arriven at Deli, arriven at Deli he was taken away Walau dah lama, cik abang sayang, hambamu menunggu Though it’s been long since I await you Tetapi hati, cik abang, ohoi, belum bergoncang But my heart, dear man, remains unwavered Aduh lanang, hai, si paku lanang Lament this man, this hard-headed man Lanang ada di tengah sawah There he is among the paddy fields Bukanlah lanang si mabuk pinang, sayang He’s not giddy from eating the areca nut palm, love Lananglah mabuk mengejar tuah (x2) Rather he is giddy from chasing luck Anak nakhoda, anak nakhoda memandu bahtera The captain’s son, the captain’s son steering the ship Bahtera berisi, bahtera berisi permata intan The ship filled, the ship filled with precious diamonds Jangan dicuba, cik adik sayang, memilih rupa Do not try, my dear lady, to be picky about looks Udahnya nanti, cik adik, ohoi, meranalah badan The outcome, dear lady, will be a lonesome soul Aduh lanang, hai, si paku lanang Lament this man, this hard-headed man Lanang sedang menyiram baja There he is sowing the seeds Bukanlah lanang si mabuk pinang, sayang He’s not giddy from eating the areca-nut palm, love Lananglah mabuk memandang dara (x2) Rather he is giddy from gazing the lady Intan permata, intan permata dalam bahtera Precious diamonds, precious diamonds inside the ship Dijaga pesuruh, jaga pesuruh puteri raja Guarded by the caretaker, caretaker to the princess Bukannya hamba, cik abang sayang, memilih rupa It’s not that I, dear man, choose looks alone Kalau dah jodoh, cik abang, ohoi, apa nak kata But if I was meant to be with him, what can I say Aduh lanang, hai, si paku lanang Lament this man, this hard-headed man Lanang ada di sawah padi There he is among the paddy fields Bukanlah lanang si mabuk pinang, sayang He’s not giddy from eating the areca-nut palm, love Lananglah mabuk si jantung hati (x2) Rather he is giddy with love

Additional new info: my maternal great-grandma was a Nyonya.
Thanks for sharing. I am a Peranakan and I love these old photos. Beautiful!!!
I really love these old photos. Sangat memukau. Warisan budaya bangsa kita ;)
it's a rampaian of the song called "inang" this particular piece is a variation of "inang rancak bertemu"
I like Peranakan culture very much.
Masa lalu indah untuk dikenang, masa sekarang sebuah tantangan, masa depan harus diwariskan.
Amazing
So nostalgic
beautiful culture ;)
thank you , it is really wonderful, please share indonesian nyonya if possible, love it
Indah baba nyonya penang
Terima Kasih.
Aduh lanang, hai, si paku lanang Lament this man, this hard-headed man
Lanang ada di sawah padi There he is among the paddy fields
Bukanlah lanang si mabuk pinang, sayang He’s not giddy from eating the areca-nut palm, love
Lananglah mabuk si jantung hati (x2) Rather he is giddy with love
Buah mengkudu, buah mengkudu buah delima The noni, the noni and the pomegranate
Dibawa belayar, bawa belayar ke Kuala Deli Brought to sail, brought to sail to Kuala Deli
Usah ditunggu, cik adik sayang, sekian lama Cease from waiting, dear lady, so long
Ambillah hamba cik adik, ohoi, sebagailah ganti Take me instead, dear lady, as a substitute
Aduh lanang, hai, si paku lanang Lament this man, this hard-headed man
Lanang sedang menyiram baja There he is sowing the seeds
Bukanlah lanang si mabuk pinang, sayang He’s not giddy from eating the areca-nut palm, love
Lananglah mabuk memandang dara (x2) Rather he is giddy from gazing the lady
Buah delima, buah delima buah mengkudu The pomegranate, the pomegranate and the noni
Setiba di Deli, tiba di Deli dilarikan orang Arriven at Deli, arriven at Deli he was taken away
Walau dah lama, cik abang sayang, hambamu menunggu Though it’s been long since I await you
Tetapi hati, cik abang, ohoi, belum bergoncang But my heart, dear man, remains unwavered
Aduh lanang, hai, si paku lanang Lament this man, this hard-headed man
Lanang ada di tengah sawah There he is among the paddy fields
Bukanlah lanang si mabuk pinang, sayang He’s not giddy from eating the areca nut palm, love
Lananglah mabuk mengejar tuah (x2) Rather he is giddy from chasing luck
Anak nakhoda, anak nakhoda memandu bahtera The captain’s son, the captain’s son steering the ship
Bahtera berisi, bahtera berisi permata intan The ship filled, the ship filled with precious diamonds
Jangan dicuba, cik adik sayang, memilih rupa Do not try, my dear lady, to be picky about looks
Udahnya nanti, cik adik, ohoi, meranalah badan The outcome, dear lady, will be a lonesome soul
Aduh lanang, hai, si paku lanang Lament this man, this hard-headed man
Lanang sedang menyiram baja There he is sowing the seeds
Bukanlah lanang si mabuk pinang, sayang He’s not giddy from eating the areca-nut palm, love
Lananglah mabuk memandang dara (x2) Rather he is giddy from gazing the lady
Intan permata, intan permata dalam bahtera Precious diamonds, precious diamonds inside the ship
Dijaga pesuruh, jaga pesuruh puteri raja Guarded by the caretaker, caretaker to the princess
Bukannya hamba, cik abang sayang, memilih rupa It’s not that I, dear man, choose looks alone
Kalau dah jodoh, cik abang, ohoi, apa nak kata But if I was meant to be with him, what can I say
Aduh lanang, hai, si paku lanang Lament this man, this hard-headed man
Lanang ada di sawah padi There he is among the paddy fields
Bukanlah lanang si mabuk pinang, sayang He’s not giddy from eating the areca-nut palm, love
Lananglah mabuk si jantung hati (x2) Rather he is giddy with love
