Fire rising to the sky, as mount agung has erupting again

Thousand bodies of Brahmanas, Satrias, Wesias and Sudras were lying dead

As the white soldier army march from the beach of sanur

Bringing death and destruction among Balinese People

Klungkung palace razed by hellfire

valuable heritage looted by the dutch and their maluku soldier

The king of Tabanan, Badung , Klungkung and their follower

Commiting the last act for perfect satria death

They rather die than be subjugated by the invader

As they still remember the sacrifice of Princess Pitaloka

Whose family killed in face of defeat by Majapahit

Now it's time for them to face their honor

With their heirloom Keris, everyone commit Puputan

Children, woman, soldier, young man, old man.... everyone sacrifice themself

While the dutch army laught at their demise and defile their bravery and honor

Now what left is nothing but ash of the peoples and their struggle.
