I learnt this song while travelling in the Minangkabau region of West Sumatra. It is about someone who is homesick for his village - Kampuang - similar to "Kampong" in Bahasa Indonesia.
Here are the lyrics, as written out for me by a young lady from Minangkabau:
Kampuang den jauh di mato Gunung sansay baku liliang Takana jo kawan - kawan den lamo Sangke basuliang - suliang
Pan duduk nyo nan elok Nan suko bagotong royong Sakit sanang samo-samo di raso Den takana jo kampuang.
Takana jo kampuang Ibu, ayah, adiak sadonyo Rasu ma imbau-imbau den pulang Den takana jo kampuang.
Thank you Sri Julianti for teaching me this lovely song.

I watched this video first time at my friend's share-posting at Facebook. It's kept me watching again and again. Probably because I'm 'takana jo kampuang' :) few versions are available in youtube, but I like this one. Good song!
