Lyrics and translation Iwan Fals - Senandung Istri Bromocorah

Senandung Istri Bromocorah

Nak, berhentilah jangan sekolah
Bapakmu sudah tak kerja
Nak, jangan menangis
Memang begini keadaannya
Pangkalan jatah
Di toko-toko dan di parkiran
Sudah bukan milik bapak lagi

Nak, mari berdoa
Agar bapak selamat dari penembakan
Berita gencar di setiap lembaran koran
Tentang dibunuhnya para bromocorah

Maafkan bapakmu, anakku
Yang tak bisa membesarkanmu
Jangan kau benci bapakmu
Entah bagaimana masa depanmu
Entah bagaimana hari depanmu
Oh, anakku
Jangan kau ikuti jejak bapakmu

Nak, mari berdoa
Agar bapak selamat dari penembakan
Berita gencar di setiap lembaran koran
Tentang dibunuhnya para bromocorah
Maafkan bapakmu, anakku
Yang tak bisa membesarkanmu
Jangan kau benci bapakmu
Entah bagaimana masa depanmu
Entah bagaimana hari depanmu
Oh, anakku
Jangan kau ikuti jejak bapakmu

The Song of the Bromocorah's Wife

Honey, stop going to school
Your father has lost his job
Honey, don't cry
This is how things are
The base of operations
In stores and parking lots
It's not your father's anymore

Honey, let's pray
That your father is safe from being shot
News is rampant in every newspaper
About the killings of the bromocorah

Forgive your father, my child
Who can't raise you
Don't hate your father
I don't know what your future holds
I don't know what tomorrow will bring
Oh, my child
Don't follow in your father's footsteps

Honey, let's pray
That your father is safe from being shot
News is rampant in every newspaper
About the killings of the bromocorah
Forgive your father, my child
Who can't raise you
Don't hate your father
I don't know what your future holds
I don't know what tomorrow will bring
Oh, my child
Don't follow in your father's footsteps
