I wonder if he's for real, really.. really

He looks so Indonesian, with dark hair, dark complexion,
Just typical your compandre from back home

Yet he speaks so awkward
With a multiple hastely "Ja ja ja ja" in any other sentences
Just like a local Dutch
When he speaks our local language of Bahasa

And I wonder
What's with this guy?
He seems so reluctant to speak a good Bahasa,
Though he can't either speak good Dutch nor English

So, I scrunched my eyes, staring at this poor fellow
I really don't understand how to speak to him
And I really don't have a clue of how to put my reaction in a polite arrangement

Then it came to me, hard...
Just smile and nod, smile and nod
So I did just that, even widened my eyes every now and then

"Ja ja ja ja
Dari mana? sampai berapa lama? Ja ja ja ja"

C'mon, is this guy for real? of course the answer is Ja ja ja ja
