RITUAL OF ULEK MAYANG







Ulek Mayang

The Ulek Mayang that I created is kind of a new version. Instead of saving the lives of fishermen that the Puteri Duyung always do, this time circa 1511, the 7th Puteri Duyung at the time she was a budding Puteri Ulek Mayang but had not reach the age of the Puteri Ulek. The young Puteri Duyung on a stormy night, saved a life of a Malay Prince. For seven day and seven nights, the seven Puteri Ulek Mayang Mengulek to revive the spirit of the Malay Prince and his hulubalang that had been lying uncouncious. The Puteri Duyung secretly on her own danced the Ulek Mayang to safe the life of her new found love. And on the 7th night, the Prince and his hulubalang finally revived. The Prince could not forget the glimpse of the Puteri Duyung sight. The moment he recovered he immediately fell in love with the Puteri Duyung. Thus the forbidden love germinated between the two lovers of different world against the will and the liking of the oceanic spirits. The hulubalang soon returned bringin with them the 7 Wasiats, while the Prince decided to stay and marry his beloved Puteri Duyung. They stayed they for long period of time until one day…the Prince told his lover….”sudah tikanya kanda pulang…..” 






Ulek Mayang Lyrics
Ulek mayang ku ulek
Ulek dengan jala jemala
Ulek mayang diulek
Ulek dengan tuannya puteri
Ulek mayang diulek
Ulek dengan jala jemala
Ulek mayang diulek
Ulek dengan puterinya dua
Puteri dua berbaju serong
Puteri dua bersanggol sendeng
Puteri dua bersubang gading
Puteri dua berselendang kuning
Umbok mayang diumbok
Umbok dengan jala jemala
Nok ulek mayang diulek
Ulek dengan puterinya empat
Puteri empat berbaju serong
Puteri empat bersanggol sendeng
Puteri empat bersubang gading
Puteri empat berselendang kuning
Umbok mayang diumbok
Umbok dengan jala jemala
Nok ulek mayang diulek
Ulek dengan puterinya enam
Puteri enam berbaju serong
Puteri enam bersanggol sendeng
Puteri enam bersubang gading
Puteri enam berselendang kuning
Umbok mayang diumbok
Umbok dengan jala jemala
Nok ulek mayang diulek
Ulek dengan puterinya tujuh
Puteri tujuh berbaju serong
Puteri tujuh bersanggol sendeng
Puteri tujuh bersubang gading
Puteri tujuh berselendang kuning
Umbok mayang diumbok
Umbok dengan jala jemala
Nok ulek mayang diulek
Ulek dengan tuannya puteri
Tuan puteri berbaju serong
Tuan puteri bersanggol sendeng
Tuan puteri bersubang gading
Tuan puteri berselendang kuning
Umbok mayang diumbok
Umbok dengan jala jemala
Nok ulek mayang diulek
Ulek dengan tuannya puteri
Ku tahu asal usul mu
Yang laut balik ke laut
Yang darat balik ke darat
Nasi berwarna hamba sembahkan
Umbok mayang ku umbok
Umbok dengan jala jemala
Pulih mayang ku pulih
Pulih balik sedia kala
