Bendera ½ Tiang - Slank Übersetzung ins Englische

Bendera ½ Tiang

Nggak lelahkah kau di ujung tiang atas sana?
Nggak letihkah kau berkibar menantang angin di atas sana?
Putihmu yang lusuh penuh debu
Merahmu yang luntur bercampur air hujan

Nggak cukupkah banyak nyawa yang hilang dan terbuang percuma?
Berapa lagi banyak korban berceceran darah tak berdosa?
Putihmu yang suci jangan ternoda
Merahmu yang berani diterpa hujan badai

Turunlah kau sejenak di tengah tiang
Turunlah kau sejenak di tengah tiang
Biar yang mati dan telah pergi merasa dihormati

Half-Mast Flag

Aren't you tired up there at the top of the pole, my dear?
Aren't you weary, flapping against the wind up there, darling?
Your white is faded, full of dust
Your red is washed out, mixed with rainwater

Haven't enough lives been lost and wasted in vain, sweetheart?
How many more victims must be scattered, their innocent blood spilled?
Don't let your white purity be stained
Let your brave red be lashed by the storm and rain

Come down for a moment, to the middle of the pole
Come down for a moment, to the middle of the pole
Let those who have died and gone feel respected
