Gendang gendut tali kecapi, kenyang perut suka hati

Gendang gendut tali kecapi, kenyang perut suka hati

I've always liked this malay poem, it's a pantun dua kerat. I don't know how to translate a pantun dua kerat. According to Google, it's poem two cut. Which is absolute bollocks, of course. 

"Gendang gendut tali kecapi, kenyang perut suka hati" I can loosely translate it to "a full belly makes the heart sing". But I decided to let Google humour me (again) and this is what it translated to:  Tubby drums harp strings, full belly like heart. Hilarious! - SOLD
