Island chief returns to mainland for work
Bring out the rooster with plum blossoms
Turmeric yellow legs with colorful fur
Blue eyes, red beads, crest.

The first night I heard the rooster crow
I thought I was sleeping at home
Suddenly woke up
Look at the clock - it's only three o'clock.

Lying awake wishing for morning to come soon
Rooster crows, sea breeze caresses
The sound of the waves must have scared the chicken.
Realized, this is not the countryside.

Rooster! First night on the island
I'm so restless I can't sleep.
The sound of waves crashing and the sound of wind howling like a storm
The roar of the ships' engines.

Then the chicken will get used to it over time.
Here are the island soldiers to pamper
Just crow in the morning and crow in the evening.
There is the sound of chickens turning into beloved homeland.
