Song lyrics
Berapa gram dalam satu kilogram? Lena taruh mangkuk bening di timbangan Saat masih kosong, ia setel ke nol Lalu kacang kering dituang ke dalamnya Tiap seratus gram, ia cek layar Satu keping berwarna ia taruh di samping Seribu gram, satu kilogram Massanya sama, ditulis dua cara Gram dan kilogram adalah satuannya Jumlah kacang tetap sama Seratus, dua ratus, tiga ratus muncul Ia tambah sampai seratus berikutnya Sepuluh keping berwarna berbaris Layar berhenti di seribu gram Ia ganti satuan: satu kilogram Seribu gram, satu kilogram Massanya sama, ditulis dua cara Gram dan kilogram adalah satuannya Jumlah kacang tetap sama Kacang masuk ke kantong transparan Ditulis: sekilo setara seribu gram Lena angkat bungkus itu dengan bangga Sepuluh kali seratus jadi seribu Seribu gram, satu kilogram
Language version lyrics
How many grams make one kilogram? Lena sets a clear bowl on the scale While it is empty, she presses zero Then dry beans patter into the bowl Each hundred grams, she checks the bright display And sets one colored token by the scale One thousand grams—one kilogram The same amount, written two ways Grams and kilograms are units of mass The beans stay exactly as they are One hundred, two hundred, three light up She adds more beans to reach each hundred Ten colored tokens now make a row The display stops at one thousand grams She switches units: one kilogram One thousand grams—one kilogram The same amount, written two ways Grams and kilograms are units of mass The beans stay exactly as they are The beans slide into a clear bag She writes: one kilogram equals one thousand grams Lena lifts her finished pack with pride Ten times one hundred makes one thousand One thousand grams—one kilogram
