Kupu-kupu malam (1977, titiek puspa) came out a year before Roxanne (1978, the police) ... to me, both these songs about a prostitute have a very sad, melancholic attraction.
When I heard these buskers sing the song at a warung on the outskirts of Surabaya I wasn't really impressed with their voices, I was just in that mood where you could listen to that song over and over again so I asked them if I could record them singing it.
The translated lyrics are not an official version, this is a jakartaguy translation
hahah khas banget om
