Tacaliak muko di cermin
Sabana rancak jo puisi ko

Lah tarakhir nak bakecek ambo sayang dek uda.

The translation of my short love poem into Padang the Agam-Tanah Datar dialect of Padang city in Indonesia. There are still 6 million people who speak this language.

For the Minangkabau people, filiation is matrilineal, with a mode of matrilocal residence. Women play a very important role, they own the majority of property. The heart of the man they love is their most precious possession! Padang is a port of Indonesia on the west coast of Sumatra, at the mouth of the Arau River on the Indian Ocean..
