Soft Winds - Ahmad Jamal traduction en anglais

Soft Winds

Mata tua yang memandang aku
Itu
Bundar
Pudar
Dia tak mahu bilang apa yang
Mencengkam jiwa usangnya
"biar"
Katanya, "biar".
Wahai ayahanda
Berhentilah walau sebentar
Dan renungkan mataku yang
Melaut
Khabarkan yang jujur dan ujar
Apa menyerabut?
Wahai ayahanda
Bercukuplah menggagah tulang
Rapuhmu
Akukan lemahmu
Perikan penatmu
Kisahkan jerihmu
Aku mahu tahu
Mata tua yang bagai ada sakti
Dewa-dewi itu
Harum
Senyum
Dipukaukan aku nan terus
Terpana dan terlupakan
"biar"
Katanya lagi, "biar"
Wahai ayahanda
Bisikkanlah walau sekali
Izinkan aku menumpangkan
Bahu
Berikan aku seperca dari beban
Kamu
Wahai ayahanda
Lihatkanlah aku
Berlari kini
Melompat tinggi
Setiapnya kerna kau tak pernah
Pergi
Ah, apa masih ingat lagi
Aku suka lari-lari?
Kau bagaikan tak peduli
Ku biar kau patah hati
Ah, apa masih tidak lupa
Tengking jerit sama-sama?
Makan tak mahu semeja
Sahabat lebih berharga
Ah, apa mampu kau sudikan
Ampun maaf ku sujudkan?
Bisa tidak kau teruskan
Ku sesat kau tunjuk jalan?
Ah, apa layak aku bagi?
Tak terbalas sampai mati
Kau sungguh yang paling tinggi
Istanamu syurga nanti

Soft Winds

Your old eyes that look at me
Are
Round
Faded
You don't want to tell me what
Grips your aged soul
"Let it be"
You say, "let it be".
Oh, mother
Stop, even for a moment
And reflect upon my eyes that are
Ocean-deep
Tell me honestly and say
What's troubling you?
Oh, mother
Enough of toughening your fragile
Bones
I am your weakness
Share your weariness
Tell me your struggles
I want to know
Your old eyes, as if possessed by the magic of
Gods and goddesses
Fragrant
Smiling
Enchant me, and I remain
Spellbound and oblivious
"Let it be"
You say again, "let it be"
Oh, mother
Whisper it, even just once
Allow me to lend my
Shoulder
Give me a piece of your burden
Mother
Oh, mother
Look at me
Running now
Jumping high
Everything because you never
Left
Ah, do you still remember
I loved to run around?
You seemed not to care
I let you break your heart
Ah, do you still remember
Shouting and screaming together?
Refusing to eat at the same table
Friends were more valuable
Ah, can you grant me
Forgiveness, I prostrate myself before you?
Can you continue to
Guide me when I'm lost?
Ah, what am I worthy to give?
Unrepayable until death
You truly are the highest
Your palace is heaven in the afterlife
