Chan Mali Chan Shirt

What's behind the tune? 

The Chan Mali Chan Shirt celebrates one of the region’s most beloved folk tunes—playful, flirtatious and sung for generations in Malaysia and Singapore, sometimes accompanying the Joget dance. Depending on how you hear it, it’s either a cheeky love song or a tale about a missing goat. Why not decide for yourself?

Malay
Di mana dia anak kambing saya?
Anak kambing saya yang makan daun talas
Di mana dia buah hati saya?
Buah hati saya bagai telur dikupas
Chan mali chan, chan mali chan
Chan mali chan, ketipung payung
