Cokek Dance Poem by Ayatullah Nurjati

Two cultural bands diffuse in a dance art
Kebaya that was used by woman dancers seem to be in sync with the movements of the dancers
The shawl attached to his body seemed to take off the burden of suffering, sorrow and sadness of the audience
Circular motion is a causality of life that is always rotating

The male and female dancers are close together but they never touch
The beat and the rhythm of the Gambang Keromong become an accompaniment to the dance ballet
Even though it's rarely seen every day, hopefully it won't run out of time
Sad indeed, that art has begun to be marginalized according to the area where it was created
