Paroles et traduction Dewi Yull - Fatwa Pujangga

Fatwa Pujangga

T′lah kuterima suratmu nan lalu
Penuh sanjungan kata merayu
Syair dan pantun tersusun indah, sayang
Bagaikan sabda fatwa pujangga

Kan kusimpan suratmu yang itu
Bak pusaka yang sangat bermutu
Walau kita tak pernah bersua, sayang
Cukup sudah tandamumu setia

Tapi sayang sayang sayang
Seribu kali sayang
Kemanakah risalahku
Ku alamatkan

(Terimalah jawabanku ini
Hanyalah doa restu Ilahi)
Moga lah dik/bang kau tak putus asa, sayang
Pasti kelak kita kan berjumpah

Fatwa of the Poet

I have received your recent letter
Full of flattering, sweet words
Your verses and pantun are beautifully composed, honey
Like the edict of a fatwa by a poet

I will cherish your letter
Like a priceless heirloom
Though we have never met, honey
Your unwavering devotion is enough

But alas, alas, alas
A thousand times alas
Where is my message
That I addressed to you

(Accept this response from me
It is only my prayer and God's blessing)
May you not lose hope, honey
Surely, we shall meet one day
