Lyrics and translation Hailey - Buka Jendela Semaya Tua

Buka Jendela Semaya Tua

W: Oh dini meh nuan jawang
Bujang aku suba
Dinga meh sada nyawa
Ambai nuam naka sebana
Taip ari diperinsak
Laki enggau idup sekunsi
Lelak mulut ati aku
Sesedan nyabak kekisi
Ambik aki ari daung sebayan tu
H: Sinu seilu-ilu
Ninga sebana sulu lama
Tang aku ndai daya
Naja wong ngena penimbak
Baka tapak bisi rembiak
Baka lubuk bisi baya
Tuniuk manis nuan udh
Dirasuk tincin semaya
Nadai jalai Ku nyapai
Ngingkau jari nuan
W: Andal ngapa aku medak
Nuan nyain ngetin geraji
Kumbai aku nuan baka
Libau rentap bujang berani
H: Anak lelaki mali diperansang
Nujah nengah duri penguji
Berani nebang berani ngesan
Sanggup ke tua ngemalu diri
W: Nda ku nemu nuan buyan
Enda terambik ke ku
Bula danji nuan sulu
Nda datai kediri empu
H: Anang rawan nuan intan
Nda ku sagi nuan lenyau agi
Enti nuan mutus ati
Aram tua betaban lari
W/H: Aram tua sama-sama
Nampung tali semaya tua suba
Bukak jendela semaya tua
Ti lama enda terlenggak
Awak ke madu pengerindu
Tua chiru baka selama
Bejantil baru sepur bungai
Meligai ati tua
Tua bersumpah mati idup
Nda mudah berserara
(Ulang Korus)
Ho ow ow ow Sulu.
Ho ow owo ow Sulu

Open the Window of the Old Covenant

W: Oh in the afternoon I heard news
I’m already a bachelor
I heard your life
Betrayed me just for no reason
You are very selfish
Living a life full of regret
My heart and mouth are speechless
Sadness like barbed wire
Please take me away from this pain
H: Why are you crying so sadly?
You should know better
But I can’t help it
Since someone is carrying a gun
There might be snakes on the trail
There might be crocodiles in the river
Your sweet beauty
Is possessed by an old spell
I can’t find a way to reach you
You keep waving your fingers at me
W: Why am I in pain?
You just sing to torture me
I said you were like
A heartless woman who would hurt a brave man
H: You, the boy, are too proud
You keep looking for trouble
You can cut but you can’t repair
Will you be ashamed when you grow old?
W: I don’t know what you mean
Why won’t you come to me?
Your promise was empty
You didn’t come when I called
H: Don’t be angry, my dear
I cannot let you go
If you break my heart
We will both regret it forever
W/H: We will both regret it forever
Let’s retie the knot of our old covenant
Open the window of the old covenant
That has been closed for so long
Our love is still sweet as honey
It will forever be the same
We will bloom again like flowers
To soothe our old souls
We vow to stay together forever
We will never let go
(Repeat Chorus)
Ho ow ow ow Long ago.
Ho ow owo ow Long ago
