Satu, satu, aku sayang Ibu
Dua, Dua, juga sayang ayah*
Tiga, Tiga, sayang adik-kakak
Satu, Dua, Tiga, sayang semuanya.
One and one, I love my mummy,
And then two, I love my daddy,
And then three, I love my sister and brother**,
One, two, three, I love them all.
Notes
*You can use either "ayah" or "bapak" here for "Dad".
**Literally "younger and older siblings"

This song is sung in the mp3 as the lyrics are written above. The song goes:
Satu, satu, aku sayang Ibu (Ibu is from Malay = Mom)
Dua, Dua, juga sayang ayah (Ayah is from Javanese = Dad)
The normal way should have been either using both Malay (bahasa melayu) words:
Satu, satu, aku sayang bunda (Mom)
Dua, Dua, juga sayang ayah (Dad)
Or this using both Javanese (basa jawa) words:
Satu, satu, aku sayang Ibu (Mom)
Dua, Dua, juga sayang Bapak (Dad)
