LYRICS
CHORUS:
Pencak Silat – Secepat Kilat (As fast as lighting)
Moving with the flow and the weapons that we like
Pencak Silat – Secepat Kilat
Give respect to this skill, and you won’t get beat up.
From Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei
Comes a fighting style I suggest that you try
Pencak Silat, come lets mulai
It’s hotter firecracker 4th of July
Let me tell you why, Silat its like poetry in motion
With a lethal potion, with hundreds of styles vast like ocean.
Evolved over centuries, only for the chosen.
Royalty or family, those who show devotion,
Refined when the people sparked revolution!
In Silat you punch, you strike, you kick, you lock
We lunge, we fight, we hit, we drop
Form never sloppy, you flow with your body
But its different from kungfu and not like Karate
In Southeast Asia there is Kali and Muay Thai
But Silat’s got a little of both but more “fly”
CHORUS
There are 4 different aspects connected to the art
Self-defense, artistic, spiritual and sport
There’s tournaments and training for any kinda age
We even got Silat fighters winning in the cage
Tanding, tunggal, ganda, regu
Solo creative with the Jurus that they do
Matchete-like golok
Nimble when they roll-up
When they see you flow, they all like “hold up”!
My favorite’s the karambit, Its curved, not too long
Or fighting with a garment, catch you with the serong,
Movement never dormant, langkah better be firm
Your Kuda-kuda be strong!
Won’t forget to mention, the spiritual dimension,
you dissipate the tension, you’ll never be henchman
So now you know the reason that all of us, we like
The style and art of Pencak Silat
CHORUS
