Paroles et traduction Francissca Peter - Nasib Si Kembang Pagi

Nasib Si Kembang Pagi

Kau kembang dinihari
Baldu ungu kelopakmu berseri
Potonganmu sederhana
Namun tetap indah pandang di mata

Lemah
Gemalai tarianmu, meliuk lentur
Mengikut rentak bayu
Oh, oh

Anggrek mawar bakawali
Bunga matahari, dahlia dan Lili
Hidup subur dimanja
Menjadi kemegahan yang berada

Duhai
Bunga, si kembang pagi
Janganlah pula
Engkau rasa pilu di hati

Memang lumrah hidup
Hanya manusia
Yang membezakannya
Benda atau nyawa
Diberi nama jua harga
Lalu diberinya tempat jua darjat

Nasibmu, si kembang pagi
Mekar hanya sementara sahaja
Jangan takut rasa bangga
Walau pun hanya di pagar istana

Memang lumrah hidup
Hanya manusia
Yang membezakannya
Benda atau nyawa
Diberi nama jua harga
Lalu diberinya tempat jua darjat

The Fate of the Morning Blossom

You are the flower of dawn,
Your purple petals are a radiant sight,
Your form is simple,
Yet still a beauty to behold.

Flimsy,
Your graceful dance sways and bends,
Following the rhythm of the breeze,
Oh, oh

Orchid, rose, bougainvillea,
Sunflower, dahlia, and lily,
Flourish in abundance,
A majestic sight to behold.

Alas,
Flower, oh morning blossom,
Do not be sad,
Do not let your heart grow heavy.

For such is the nature of life,
For humans,
Who distinguish between
Object and life.
Names and values are given,
And then places and statuses are bestowed.

Your fate, oh morning blossom,
To bloom only for a short while.
Do not fear, be proud,
Even if it is only within the palace walls.

For such is the nature of life,
For humans,
Who distinguish between
Object and life.
Names and values are given,
And then places and statuses are bestowed.
