Lyrics and translation Didi Kempot - Awu Merapi

Awu Merapi

Neng ngendi kudu lungo
Nggoleki kenyo sing tak tresno?
Naliko putih ing awu tibo
Tilas lakumu, soyo ora ketoro

Neng ngendi kudu mlaku
Nuruti karep ing atiku?
Tak gegem gegayuhan lan impenku
Senajan abot sikilku tak nggo lumaku

Mowo sing abang ing pucuk Merapi
Udan awu seprene sing dadi seksi
Setu Pahing sing dadi pangeling-eling
Eling sliramu naliko tak sanding

Uwes sewindu aku nggoleki sliramu
Rino wengi ora ketemu
Neng ngendi papan lan dunungmu?
Yen ketemu ebo bungah ing atiku

Neng ngendi kudu mlaku
Nuruti karep ing atiku?
Tak gegem gegayuhan lan impenku
Senajan abot sikilku tak nggo lumaku

Mowo sing abang ing pucuk Merapi
Udan awu seprene sing dadi seksi
Setu Pahing sing dadi pangeling-eling
Eling sliramu naliko tak sanding

Uwes sewindu aku nggoleki sliramu
Rino wengi ora ketemu
Neng ngendi papan lan dunungmu?
Yen ketemu ebo bungah ing atiku

Yen ketemu ebo bungah ing atiku

Awu Merapi (Merapi's Ash)

Where should I go,
Searching for my beloved?
When the white ash fell,
Traces of your steps, became unseen.

Where should I walk,
Following my heart's desire?
I hold onto my hopes and dreams,
Even though my feet are heavy, I keep walking.

The red glow at Merapi's peak,
The rain of ash is my witness,
Saturday Pahing (Javanese calendar day) serves as a reminder,
Remembering you by my side.

For eight years I've been searching for you,
Day and night, I haven't found you.
Where are you, my love?
If I find you, my heart will be filled with joy.

Where should I walk,
Following my heart's desire?
I hold onto my hopes and dreams,
Even though my feet are heavy, I keep walking.

The red glow at Merapi's peak,
The rain of ash is my witness,
Saturday Pahing (Javanese calendar day) serves as a reminder,
Remembering you by my side.

For eight years I've been searching for you,
Day and night, I haven't found you.
Where are you, my love?
If I find you, my heart will be filled with joy.

If I find you, my heart will be filled with joy.
