Paroles et traduction Doel Sumbang - Genah Merenah Tumaninah

Genah Merenah Tumaninah

Kuring boga baraya
Urang jalan Pasir Koja
Ngaranna Odoy Sobarna
Usahana rupa-rupa

Ti mimiti dagang topi
Sendal, sapatu, jeung rompi
Nepi ka dagang bandéra
Da dasar di kaki lima

Ceuk Mang Odoy ayeuna mah
Dagang téh salsé jeung ngeunah
Béda pisan jeung baheula
Dagang kudu culang-cileung
Sok sieun kurunyung Tibum
Malah Mang Odoy nyarita kieu

Kuring boga baraya
Asli urang Leuwi Dulang
Ngaranna Ojay Sumpena
Usahana kana ngabéca

Ti beurang nepi ka peuting
Tara eureun mandi késang
Ngaboséh satengah édan
Sangkan kaudak setoran

Ceuk Mang Ojay ayeuna mah
Ngabéca téh bisa ka kota euy
Béda pisan jeung baheula
Ngabéca teh culang-cileung
Da sieun ditéwak pu-li-si
Malah Mang Ojay nyarita kieu

Kuring boga baraya
Ari ngaranna Nyi Sari
Kusabab kulitna hideung
Nya nelah Nyi Sari Item

Usahana dagang daging
Langganannana gé loba
Ti mimiti nu ngaduda
Nepikeun ka mahasiswa

Genah Merenah Tumaninah

I have a brother,
A man from Pasir Koja.
He is named Odoy Sobarna,
A man of many businesses.

He started by selling hats,
Sandals, shoes, and vests.
He even sold flags,
Right on the streets.

Mang Odoy says that,
Business is good now.
It is very different from the old days,
When business was hard.
He was always afraid of Tibum's raids.
In fact, Mang Odoy said,

I have a brother,
A man from Leuwi Dulang.
He is named Ojay Sumpena,
A vendor by trade.

From morning till night,
He never stopped riding his bike,
Selling newspapers like a madman,
To reach his sales target.

Mang Ojay says that,
Being a vendor is a way to see the city, my dear.
It is very different from the old days,
When vendors had it rough.
They were always afraid of being caught by the police.
In fact, Mang Ojay said,

I have a brother,
Nyi Sari is her name.
Because of her dark skin,
Everyone calls her Nyi Sari Item.

She sells meat,
And has many customers,
From housewives
To university students.
