The Beggar’s Advice to His Wife – Ebiet G Ade
Istriku, marilah kita tidur
My dearest wife, let’s take asleep
Hari telah larut malam
It’s been late
Lagi sehari kita lewati
Agaian, we’ve passed this day
Meskipun nasib semakin tak pasti
Even we don’t know our destiny
Lihat anak kita tertidur menahankan lapar
Just look, our child fell asleep by keeping starving
Erat memeluk bantal dingin pinggiran jalan
He hugs the cold pillow in the road’s side
Wajahnya kurus pucat, matanya dalam
His pale thin face, (and) his eyes (are) deep
Istriku, marilah kita berdoa
My dearest wife, let’s pray
Sementara biarkan lapar terlupa
Just forget the starving for a moment
Seperti yang pernah ibu ajarkan
As our mother thaught (to us)
Tuhan bagi siapa saja
(that) The God (is) for everyone
Meskipun kita pengemis pinggiran jalan
Even we’re beggar in the street’s side
Doa kita pun pasti Ia dengarkan
HE must listen our prayers
Bila kita pasrah diri, tawakal
If we surender (our live), tawakal
Esok hari perjalanan kita
Next day our journey
Masih sangatlah panjang
is still long time
Mari tidurlah, lupakan sejenak
Let’s take asleep, forget for a moment
Beban derita lepaskan
Release the burden distress
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
Dengarkanlah nyanyian
Listen the song
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
Dari seberang jalan
From the cross road
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
Usah kau tangisi
Please, don’t cry for
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
Nasib kita hari ini
Our destiny today
Tuhan, selamatkan istri dan anakku
Lord, save my wife and children
Hindarkanlah hati mereka dari iri dan dengki
Keep their heart from jelous (heart burning) and grudge
Kepada yang berkuasa dan kenyang di tengah kelaparan
For you (who) rules and full (satisfied) among (them who) in starving
Oh, hindarkanlah mereka dari iri dan dengki
Ooo, Keep their heart from jelous (heart burning) and grudge
Kuatkanlah jiwa mereka
Strengthen their soul
Bimbinglah di jalanMu, bimbinglah di jalanMu
Guide to YOUR way, Guide to YOUR way
