CHAP. V SAVAGE MALAYS OF SELANGOR 139 which is a mere list of place-names/ we have few trust-worthy records of the words of Sakai songs, with theexception of the account by Colonel Low, where weare told that their Mampade, or airs were much inthe Siamese style (which last undoubtedly takes thelead amongst the musical compositions of the Indo-Chinese nations), and that their songs had an inter-mixture of Malay, as in the following specimen whichwas sung somewhat in the Siamese mode :— Pirdu salen kinnang ingat sampeiYari mola asa) nyite gyijenAyer ambun umbun moliKiri baju layang mayep singi. No satisfactory translation could be got of thisfragment, but the greater part of the words areMalay.-^ Selangfop Sakai.—The Sakai of Ulu Langat (asalso those of Perak) are very fond of wind-organs,which are long bamboos with a slit in each inter-node, which are lashed to the top branches of trees,and which give out musical tones when the windblows over them.^ III.—Jakun.Musical Instruments.
