Paroles et traduction Sharifah Aini - Burung Pungguk

Burung Pungguk

Oh, burung pungguk
Malang nasibmu
Rupamu buruk
Tak siapa yang mahu

Bila malam telah tiba
Di langit, bulan bercahaya
Kau berbunyi, berhiba-hiba
Merindukan bulan purnama

Sungguh suaramu
Menawan hati
Kedengaran di pohon kayu
Bagaikan bintang dikasihi

Tetapi wahai pungguk
Kau tak diacuhkan
Walaupun kau merajuk
Meratapi diri

Bulan hanya bagai mengatakan
"Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, kasihan"

Ha-ha-ha-ha
A-ha-ha-ah-ah
Ha-ha-ha-ha
A-ha-ha-ah-ah

Malangnya nasibmu
Wahai burung pungguk
Tidak seperti burung nuri
Di dalam sangkar

Dikasihi lelaki dan perempuan
Untuk menghibur hati yang rawan
Dikasihi lelaki dan perempuan
Untuk menghibur hati yang rawan

Oh, burung pungguk
Malang nasibmu
Rupamu buruk
Tak ada yang mahu

Hoopoe

Oh, hoopoe
Your fortune’s bad
Your appearance is ugly
No one wants you

When night arrives
The moon will shine
You cry out with sorrow
Yearning for the full moon

Truly your voice
Charms the heart
It can be heard in the trees
As if stars were beloved

But oh hoopoe
You’re ignored
Even if you sulk
And bemoan yourself

The moon just seems to say
"Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, what a shame"

Ha-ha-ha-ha
A-ha-ha-ah-ah
Ha-ha-ha-ha
A-ha-ha-ah-ah

Your fortune is bad
Oh hoopoe
Not like the parrot
In its cage

Loved by men and women
For comforting sorrowful hearts
Loved by men and women
For comforting sorrowful hearts

Oh, hoopoe
Your fortune’s bad
Your appearance is ugly
No one wants you
