Lyrics and translation Chrisye - Anak Jalanan




Anak Jalanan
Street Child
(Da-ra, pa-pa-pa)
(Da-ra, pa-pa-pa)
Anak jalanan, kumbang metropolitan
Street child, the metropolitan butterfly
Selalu ramai dalam kesepian
Always bustling in solitude
Anak jalanan, korban kemunafikan
Street child, the victim of hypocrisy
S'lalu kesepian di keramaian
Always lonely in the crowd
Tiada tempat untuk mengadu
No place to confide
Tempat mencurahkan isi kalbu
Place to pour out my heart
Cinta kasih dari Ayah dan Ibu
Love and care from my father and mother
Hanyalah peri yang palsu
Are just a false illusion
(Da-ra, pa-pa-pa)
(Da-ra, pa-pa-pa)
Anak perawan, kembang metropolitan
Young maiden, the metropolitan flower
Selalu resah dalam penantian
Always worried in anticipation
Anak perawan, korban keadaan
Young maiden, the victim of circumstances
S'lalu menanti dalam keresahan
Always waiting in restlessness
Tiada restu untuk bertemu
No blessing to meet
Restu menjalin hidup bersatu
Blessing to join my life with yours
Kasih sayang dari Ayah dan Bunda
Love and care from my father and mother
Hanyalah adab semata
Are just a mere formality
(Da-ra, pa-pa-pa)
(Da-ra, pa-pa-pa)
Tiada waktu untuk bertemu
No time to meet
Waktu berkasihan dan mengadu
Time to love and share
Kar'na orang tua metropolitan
Because metropolitan parents
Hanyalah budak kesibukan
Are just slaves to busyness
Tiada waktu untuk bertemu
No time to meet
Waktu berkasihan dan mengadu
Time to love and share
Kar'na orang tua metropolitan
Because metropolitan parents
Hanyalah budak kesibukan
Are just slaves to busyness
Anak gedongan, metropolitan
City child, metropolitan
Menuntut hidup kedamaian
Striving for a peaceful life
Anak jalanan, metropolitan
Street child, metropolitan
Selalu dalam kesepian
Always in solitude
Anak perawan, metropolitan
Young maiden, metropolitan
Selalu dalam keresahan
Always in restlessness
