Lyrics and translation Iwan Fals - Tince Sukarti Binti Mahmud

Tince Sukarti Binti Mahmud

Tince Sukarti binti Mahmud
Kembang desa yang berwajah lembut
Kuning langsat warna kulitnya
Maklum ayah Arab ibunda Cina

Tince Sukarti binti Mahmud
Ikal mayang engkau punya rambut
Para jejaka takkan lupa
Kerling nakal Karti memang menggoda

Jangankan lelaki muda terpesona
Yang tua jompo pun gila
Sejuta cinta antri di meja beranda
Sukarti hanya tertawa

Bibirmu, hidungmu
Indah menyatu
Tawamu, suaramu
Terdengar merdu

Tince Sukarti hobi memang dia bernyanyi
Kasidah, rock and roll, dangdut, keroncong, ia kuasai
Tince Sukarti ingin jadi seorang penyanyi
Primadona beken Neng Karti selalu bermimpi

Ibu bapaknya enggan memberi restu
Walau sang anak merayu
Tince Sukarti dasar kepala batu
Kemas barang dan berlalu

Tince Sukarti
Berlari mengejar mimpi

Janji makelar penyanyi orbitkan Sukarti
Janji Sukarti di hati persetan harga diri

Kembang desa layu
Tak lagi wangi seperti dulu
Kembang desa layu
Tak lagi wangi seperti dulu

Tince Sukarti binti Mahmud
Kembang desa yang berwajah lembut
Kuning langsat warna kulitnya
Maklum ayah Arab ibunda Cina

Tince Sukarti binti Mahmud
Ikal mayang engkau punya rambut
Para jejaka takkan lupa
Kerling nakal Karti memang menggoda

Tince Sukarti
Berlari mengejar mimpi
Tince Sukarti
Berlari dikejar mimpi

Tince Sukarti Binti Mahmud

Tince Sukarti, daughter of Mahmud
She is a village flower with a gentle face
Her skin is as yellow as a langsat fruit
Her father is an Arab, her mother is Chinese

Tince Sukarti, daughter of Mahmud
Her hair is like a flowing willow
The young men will never forget
Karti's naughty wink is very tempting

Not only the young men are fascinated
Even the old and feeble go crazy
A million loves are waiting in line at the veranda
Sukarti just laughs

Your lips, your nose
They blend together so beautifully
Your laugh, your voice
They sound so sweet

Tince Sukarti loves to sing
She can sing kasidah, rock and roll, dangdut, keroncong, you name it
Tince Sukarti wants to be a singer
Neng Karti always dreams of becoming a famous diva

Her parents refuse to give her their blessing
Even though their daughter begs them
Tince Sukarti is stubborn
She packs her things and leaves

Tince Sukarti
Runs after her dream

The agent promises to make Sukarti a star
Sukarti promises to herself that she doesn't care about her pride

The village flower has withered
No longer fragrant like before
The village flower has withered
No longer fragrant like before

Tince Sukarti, daughter of Mahmud
She is a village flower with a gentle face
Her skin is as yellow as a langsat fruit
Her father is an Arab, her mother is Chinese

Tince Sukarti, daughter of Mahmud
Her hair is like a flowing willow
The young men will never forget
Karti's naughty wink is very tempting

Tince Sukarti
Runs after her dream
Tince Sukarti
Runs away from her dream
