Lyrics:

Cruel is the war and warm the love
Great is the man that knows them both
Deafening thunder from the sky
Strong high winds in the night will rise

Along the coast of Sarawak
In search of the Pearl of Labuan
Blue-eyed woman with the golden hair
Haunting my dreams, stuck in my head
The Tiger put his eye on her

Strange force drawing me to these shores
Blue-eyed woman with the hair of gold
Savage tiger in the lion's den
A hurricane's coming over sea and land

Junk spotted to leeward!
Cried out a voice atop mainmast
Hoisting the emblem of Rajah Brooke
We must prepare to shoot
Blast thundered from the junk
Patan responded to the fire
Hooks bound prahu to the vessels' port
To me, my Tigers, prepare to board!

Blood dripping from their scimitars and kriss
Black smoke scattered over worthy enemies
To Labuan! The Tiger shouted loud
Moving away from the coast of Sarawak

Savage squall
Black typhoon
Mighty roar
Burning fire
Blazing eyes
Spawn of hell
Ride with the Tigers of Mompracem

Howling wind
Rebel prince
Seething with
Raging fury
No defeat
No regret
Ride with the Tigers of Mompracem

Ride with the Tigers of Mompracem
Ride with the Tigers of Mompracem

Battle stations, lads!
British are looking for a fight
Stand ready, my brave cubs!
Victory's on our side

Lama Hidup
Ha!
Harimau

Tiada Belas
Ha!
Kasihan

My brave Yanez, raise the colors!
Hear the Tigers roar

Savage squall
Black typhoon
Mighty roar
Burning fire
Blazing eyes
Spawn of hell
Ride with the Tigers of Mompracem

Howling wind
Rebel prince
Seething with
Raging fury
No defeat
No regret
Ride with the Tigers of Mompracem

Righting wrongs, spilling blood, breaking chains
Endlessly caught between love and hate
Fight on Sandokan, tiger on your prey
Fight on Sandokan, fight till death
Fight on Sandokan, on and on

Sharp dagger
Gunpowder
Carbine and kriss

To plunder
God's thunder!
Kill or be killed

Sharp dagger
Gunpowder
Carbine and kriss

To plunder
God's thunder!
Kill or be killed

Myriads of red coats stood in our path
Even the Spaniards and Dutch
Sultans an' captains they all fell down
Tigers savaged them all

Farewell Tiger of Malaysia, Farewell piracy
Hear my last roaring cry
Tiger is dead forever
