[Verse 1]
Angin malam mambawa kabar
Bau hujan di padi sawah
Di rantau lampu indiak terang
Tapi hati tak jaleh juo

Foto lamo di dinding kamar
Senyum ibu maminteh pulang
“Apo kabar
Nak?” sajak mato
Tibo-tibo hati baranak

[Chorus]
Apo kaba
Kampuang di Bukik
Luriah lamo
Surau di tikek
Taragak bana
Sampai sakik
Janji pulang ka ranah
Indak lupo janji
Apo kaba
Ibu di rumah
Suaro do’a di tiap malan
Sabana jauh
Tapi sanang
Janji pulang ka Minang
Saketek lai
Mak

[Verse 2]
Langang pagi tanpa kokok ayam
Diganti sirene mobil lalu
Lauk pagi karak di warung
Raso lidah mancari lado

[low vocal register] Di kantor urang manyaru kuat
Padahal dada bapisau rindu
“Tabah sabanta
Nak
” bayang ibu
Sabalun tidur
Kusebut namo

[Chorus]

[guitar solo]

[Bridge]
[whispered vocals] Di tiap sujud kusebut ranah
Nama nagari
Nama ibu
[crescendo] Indak ka lupo asal-usul
Walau sado raso baru

[Chorus]
