Benging

Elias sings a Lundayeh love story of "benging" about a couple who fell in love but did not receive the blessing of the lady's family. Then the man has to travel and join the army to go to war. He says to her that, if he should die during the war, she should take the "tebayan" to end her life just as his. Then they can be together again under the rainbow.

Wa' ku ceh benging iTuked Dengur
iTuked Dengur nan decur ara'
Me' ui diu' nan turuk beneh
Mulang me decur iyeh demeh-demeh
Naa pi iTinam bala daat useh
Naa pi iTamam pelaba geteh
Ame' ui nalan bang bawang dayeh
Luka' ke ceh badui dai' Puneng Rian
Di teh iko anak mepa' tebayan
Papu' kiteh ngan nan tegkang
Do' neh kepe' tabir beruang
Do' neh tebpe tayen linuang
