He . . . . . ya y a ya he ya ho . . . . . .
He . . . . . ya y a ya ho ya he . . . . . .
Balada orang-orang pedalaman
He . . . . . ya y a ya he ya ho . . . . . .
He . . . . . ya y a ya ho ya he . . . . . .
Di hutan di gunung dan di pesisir
He . . . . . ya y a ya he ya ho . . . . . .
Manusia yang datang dari kota
Tega bodohi mereka
Lihat tatapannya yang kosong
Tak mengerti apa yang terjadi
He . . . . . ya y a ya he ya ho . . . . . .
Tak tajam lagi tombak panah dan parang
He . . . . . ya y a ya he ya ho . . . . . .
He . . . . . ya y a ya ho ya he . . . . . .
Tak ampuh lagi mata dari sang pawang
Dimana lagi cari hewan buruan
Yang pergi karena senapan
Dimana mencari ranting pohon
Kalau sang pohon tak ada lagi . . . . . .
Pada siapa mereka tanyakan hewannya
Ya . . . . . pada siapa tanyakan pohonnya
Saudaraku di pedalaman menanti
Sebuah jawaban yang tersimpan dihati
Lewatmu . . . . . . . . . pembeli
Pada orang-orang pedalaman
Yang menari dan menyanyi
Dihalau bising ribuan deru gergaji
