Lyrics and translation SM Salim feat. Dato Siti Nurhaliza - Bergending Dang Gong

Bergending Dang Gong

Bintang jauh di langit tinggi
Bergending dendang dang gong
Bulan juga tumpang sekaki

Merindu pungguk merindu
Rindu mengidam dapat bertemu
Bergending dendang dang gong
Penawar rindu racun bermadu

Bergending dendang dang gong
Bintang ada di balik daun
Bergending dendang dang gong
Bulan juga tumpang berlindung

Mengapa segan bertemu
Bagaikan ada maut menunggu
Bergending dendang dang gong
Lama merana diamuk rindu
Bergending gending dendang dang gong
Bergending dendang bergending dang gong
Bergending gending dendang dang gong
Bergending dang gong bergending dang gong

Janganlah memilih Cik Siti oi
Yang sedap dimata
Dalam zaman ini Cik Siti oi
Banyak buaya naga

Kalaulah ku tahu
Takkan ku bercinta
Resah tak menentu
Tidur baring pun tak lena

Bergending gending dendang dang gong
Bergending dendang bergending dang gong
Bergending gending dendang dang gong
Bergending dendang bergending dang gong

Janganlah jangan kecewa
Adat hidup pasang dan surut
Mujurlah tak ke jurang diri ini
Teringat lagi pesan yang tua

Sambil-sambil menyanyi
Berpesan-pesan antara kita
Tidak-tidak di hati
Terniat terasa nak mengata
Hidup dalam dunia
Yang tua pandu arah yang muda
Baru beriringan tidak berlencongan
Kalau berpesanan hai tuan

Bergending gending dendang dang gong
Bergending dendang bergending dang gong
Bergending gending dendang dang gong
Bergending dendang bergending dang gong

Remaja hanya sekali
Bebas jangan terlupa diri
Adat yang ku pegang diwariskan
Tidakkan dijiwaku terbuang

Sambil-sambil menyanyi
Berpesan-pesan antara kita
Tidak-tidak di hati
Terniat terasa nak mengata
Hidup dalam dunia
Yang tua pandu arah yang muda
Baru beriringan tidak berlencongan
Kalau berpesanan hai tuan

Bergending dendang dang gong
Bintang hilang di pagi hari
Bergending dendang dang gong
Bulan rebah di kaki pagi

Bertahun hilang tak jumpa
Rasanya tidak diri kecewa
Bergending dendang dang gong
Tidak ku lurut padi seberang

Bergending gending dendang dang gong
Bergending dendang bergending dang gong
Bergending gending dendang dang gong
Bergending dendang bergending dang gong

Mujurlah engkau ni Cik Siti oi (aku bersyukur)
Jenis dengar kata (di hati)
Tidaklah bernasib Cik Siti oi (asal usul)
Sampai bengkak mata (hidupku)
Adat orang lama Cik Siti oi (baru dan lama)
Peringat orang muda (serasi)
Baru beriringan tidak berlencongan
Kalau berpesanan hai tuan

Sambil-sambil menyanyi
Berpesan-pesan antara kita
Tidak-tidak di hati
Terniat terasa nak mengata
Hidup dalam dunia
Yang tua pandu arah yang muda
Baru beriringan tidak berlencongan
Kalau berpesanan hai tuan

Bergending Dang Gong

Distant stars in the high sky
They sing the rhythms of the gong
The moon accompanies them too

How the owl pines, how it pines
It pines and longs to meet
They sing the rhythms of the gong
A cure for longing, a sweet poison

They sing the rhythms of the gong
The stars are hidden behind the leaves
They sing the rhythms of the gong
The moon also hides for cover

Why are you afraid to meet me
It feels like death is waiting
They sing the rhythms of the gong
I've suffered for so long from this longing
They sing the rhythms of the gong
They sing the rhythms of the gong
They sing the rhythms of the gong
They sing the rhythms of the gong

Don't be choosy, Cik Siti oi
Who looks good to you
In these times, Cik Siti oi
There are many crocodiles and dragons

If only I knew
I would not have fallen in love
Restless and uncertain
I can't sleep or relax

They sing the rhythms of the gong
They sing the rhythms of the gong
They sing the rhythms of the gong
They sing the rhythms of the gong

Don't be disappointed
Life is full of ups and downs
I'm lucky I didn't end up in a ditch
I remember the advice of the elders

While singing
We exchange messages
Not in my heart
I feel like complaining
Life in the world
The old guide the young
Only then can we get along without conflicts
When giving advice, my lord

They sing the rhythms of the gong
They sing the rhythms of the gong
They sing the rhythms of the gong
They sing the rhythms of the gong

Youth is only for a moment
Be free, but don't forget yourself
I hold on to the customs I inherited
They will never fade from my soul

While singing
We exchange messages
Not in my heart
I feel like complaining
Life in the world
The old guide the young
Only then can we get along without conflicts
When giving advice, my lord

They sing the rhythms of the gong
The stars disappear in the morning
They sing the rhythms of the gong
The moon falls at the feet of dawn

We've been lost for years
I don't feel disappointed
They sing the rhythms of the gong
I won't pick rice from the other side

They sing the rhythms of the gong
They sing the rhythms of the gong
They sing the rhythms of the gong
They sing the rhythms of the gong

You're so lucky, Cik Siti oi (I'm grateful)
You know how to listen (in your heart)
Cik Siti oi, you're not so lucky (origins)
I've been crying my eyes out (life)
Old customs, Cik Siti oi (old and new)
Remember the young (harmony)
Only then can we get along without conflicts
When giving advice, my lord

While singing
We exchange messages
Not in my heart
I feel like complaining
Life in the world
The old guide the young
Only then can we get along without conflicts
When giving advice, my lord
