Menanti Di Ambang Syurga - Ahmad Jais translation in English

Menanti Di Ambang Syurga

Duhai kasih pujaan kekanda
Dengar ku mengeluhkan rindu
Merayu setiapnya waktu, sayang
Padamu duhai kekasihku

Tapi sungguh malangnya nasibku
Hajatku kini telah terganggu
Kini -kaku- rasanya hidupku, sayang
Tinggallah ku menanggung rindu

(Korus)
Tapi ku kan tetap bersama
Namun hatiku takkan bertukar
Walau laut jiwaku terkorban, sayang
Pada Tuhan -saja- kuserahkan

Namun ku takkan putus asa
Duhai kasih pujaan kekanda
Di dunia kita tak berjumpa, sayang
Ku menanti di ambang syurga

Waiting At The Gates of Heaven

My beloved, my love
Hear me lamenting my longing
Entreating every moment, my love
To you, my dearest love

But truly, my fate is unfortunate
My desire is now hindered
Now my life feels - stiff - my love
I'm left to bear this longing

(Chorus)
But I will remain with you
Yet my heart will not change
Though the sea of my soul is sacrificed, my love
To God - alone - I surrender

But I will not despair
My beloved, my love
In this world, we won't meet, my love
I will wait at the gates of heaven
