Indochine - L'Aventurier (Translate to English)

Egaré dans la vallée infernale
Le héros s'appelle Bob Morane
A la recherche de l'Ombre Jaune
Le bandit s'appelle Mister Kali Jones
Avec l'ami Bill Ballantine
Sauvé de justesse des crocodiles
Stop au trafic des Caraïbes
Escale dans l'opération Nadawieb

Le coeur tendre dans le lit de Miss Clark
Prisonnière du Sultan de Jarawak
En pleine terreur à Manicouagan
Isolé dans la jungle birmane
Emprisonnant les flibustiers
L'ennemi est démasqué
On a volé le collier de Civa
Le Maradjah en répondra

refrain
Et soudain surgit face au vent
Le vrai héros de tous les temps
Bob Morane contre tout chacal
L'aventurier contre tout guerrier
Bob Morane contre tout chacal
L'aventurier contre tout guerrier

Dérivant à bord du Sampang
L'aventure au parfum d'Ylalang
Son surnom, Samouraï du Soleil
En démantelant le gang de l'Archipel
L'otage des guerriers du Doc Xhatan
Il s'en sortira toujours à temps
Tel l'aventurier solitaire
Bob Morane est le roi de la terre

It has a lot of lyrics in Bahasa, mostly place names and proper nouns, but you might want to ask to a Malaysian or an Indonesian to be 100% sure.

Maharaja - from sanskrit word, it meaning Emperor in Malay Language

Sultan of Jarawak - I've clueless what about Jarawak here was refer to... that's one state in Malaysia names "Sarawak" and in history, it was apart from Kingdom of Brunei and it had only ONE sultan (king) in his entire time of history the sultan is Kingdom of Brunei's Sultan own little brother (year 1598) get this title from his own brother after their father passed away.... and (Sultan of Sarawak) himself died no longer after got the title

Ylalang - I don't know Ylalang, but Lalang is one type grass (Imperata cylindrica)....

Shiva - name of one of gods in Hinduism believe...

Sampang - name of one region in Indonesia...

Sampang - name of one region in Indonesia...

I think sampang is a mispelling of sampan, a boat. (A Chinese one, it seems... Not very logical )
And for Ylalang, it may be a kind of confusion between the name of the grass and the ylang-ylang (which is seems to have scented flowers)
