Anak Anak Kita - M Nasir Übersetzung ins Englische

Anak Anak Kita

Anak-anak kitakah yang berlari telanjang
Di bawah mentari sumbing
Sambil bernyanyi lagu
Ketakutan hari-hari ini

Anak-anak kitakah yang memikul beban
Kesilapan kita
Hingga dia tak kenal budaya
Canggung bangsa sendiri

Selamatkan anak kita
Dari padang jerangkap samar
Selamatkan anak kita
Orde baru politikus usang

Anak-anak kitakah yang bermain
Di hutan belukar
Dengan senapang kayu ubi cambah
Tak kenal bahaya

Anak-anak kitakah yang tak tahu nak pulang
Bila petang kerana terlalu mabuk main lastik
Dan berpistolan
Pistol-pistolan

Jaga-jaga anak kita
Jangan sampai jadi hamba
Jaga-jaga anak kita
Kita ini orang merdeka

Panggillah mereka pulang
Ayah nak ajar
Tentang kurang ajar
Jadi mereka takkan sendiri lagi

Panggillah mereka pulang
Ayah nak ajar
Tentang kurang ajar
Jadi mereka takkan dimomok lagi, woh-wo, woh-wo

Fikir
Selamatkah kita di tangan tukang karut itu
Fikir
Selamatkah kita di tangan dalang wayang itu
Fikir
Selamatkah kita di tangan ahli koporat itu
Fikir

Selamatkah kita di tangan doktor jiwa itu
Fikir
Selamatkah kita di tangan pakar kitab itu
Fikir
Selamatkah kita di tangan Tuhan-Tuhan itu

Jaga-jaga anak kita
Jangan sampai jadi hamba
Jaga-jaga anak kita
Kita ini orang merdeka

Panggillah mereka pulang
Ayah nak ajar
Tentang kurang ajar
Jadi mereka takkan sendiri lagi

Panggillah mereka pulang
Ayah nak ajar
Tentang kurang ajar
Jadi mereka takkan dimomok lagi, woh-wo, woh-wo

Ooh, anak-anak kita
Ooh, anak-anak kita
Ooh, anak-anak kita
Ooh, anak-anak kita

Our Children

Are they our children running about naked
In the distorted sunlight
Singing songs
Of the terrors of these days

Are they our children carrying the weight
Of our mistakes
So that they no longer know their own culture
Are ashamed of their own people

Save our children
From the treacherous moor
Save our children
From the New Order of obsolete politicians

Are they our children playing
In the thicket
With cassava wood rifles and guns
Unaware of the danger

Are they our children who don't know their way home
When it's evening, because they're too drunk with games
And playing with guns
Playing with toy guns

Take care of our children
Don't let them become slaves
Take care of our children
We are free people

Call them home
I'll teach them
About rebels
So they won't be alone anymore

Call them home
I'll teach them
About rebels
So they won't be threatened anymore, oh-oh, oh-oh

Think
Will we be safe in the hands of these crooks
Think
Will we be safe in the hands of these puppeteers
Think
Will we be safe in the hands of these corporate experts
Think

Will we be safe in the hands of these psychiatrists
Think
Will we be safe in the hands of these religious experts
Think
Will we be safe in the hands of these self-proclaimed gods

Take care of our children
Don't let them become slaves
Take care of our children
We are free people

Call them home
I'll teach them
About rebels
So they won't be alone anymore

Call them home
I'll teach them
About rebels
So they won't be threatened anymore, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh, our children
Oh, our children
Oh, our children
Oh, our children
