Lyrics and translation Darso - Mawar Bodas

Mawar Bodas

Mapay jalan satapak
Ngajugjug ka hiji lembur
Henteu karasa capena
Sabab aya nu diteang

Hujan angin dor dar gelap
Hunteu aya keur ngiuhan
Sanajan awak rancucut
Teu paduli kajeun teuing

Nu penting mah asal nepi
Ka tempat anu di tuju
Rek ngalongok mawar bodas
Nu moal lila ka ala

Sugan tea moal gagal
Kembang geus aya nu boga
Balik teh asa hoream leumpang ge asa ngalayang

Teu kasawang ti anggalna
Teu kapikir ti tadina
Lamun bakal nyeri hate
Hoream teu sudi teuing
Mikiran pipanyakiteun
Mikiran pipanyakiteun

Mawar Bodas

I tread the narrow path
Heading towards a village
I don't feel the weariness
Because there's someone I seek

The rain and wind roar and darken the sky
There's no shelter to be found
Though my body is drenched
I don't care, I'm too determined

The only thing that matters is reaching
The place I'm headed to
I'm going to see the white rose
That will soon wither away

Perhaps I won't be too late
The flower may already have an owner
On my way back, I'll be like a sleepwalker, walking as if I'm flying

I didn't realize at first
I didn't think about it then
That my heart would ache like this
I wish the dream would never end
Thinking about the pain
Thinking about the pain
