Paroles et traduction Hetty Koes Endang - Pulanglah Uda

Pulanglah Uda

Uda kanduang dirantau urang
Pulanglah uda ditanah jao
Rindulah lamo indak basuo apo ka dayo
Lupo kok uda jo diri denai
Sumpah jo janji maso sapayuang kito baduo

Ondeh uda sibiran tulang
Lah tibo pulo kapa balabuah
Uda den nanti di Taluak Bayua ndak kunjuang tibo
Lah tibo pulo kapa balabuah
Udan den nanti di Taluak Bayua ndak kunjuang tibo

Ondeh... uda pulanglah uda...

Ditanah jao di rantau urang
Kini lah lupo kini lah lupo jo gadih Minang
Jankan surek kaba barito
Denai mananti denai mananti jo aie mato

Malangnyo badan cinto digantuang indak batali
Malangnyo badan cinto digantuang indak batali

Ondeh... uda pulanglah uda...

Ditanah jao di rantau urang
Kini lah lupo kini lah lupo jo gadih Minang
Jankan surek kaba barito
Denai mananti denai mananti jo aie mato

Malangnyo badan cinto digantuang indak batali
Malangnyo badan cinto digantuang indak batali

Ondeh... uda oi pulanglah uda...

Come Home, Uda

My dear Uda, far away you roam,
Come home, Uda, from that distant land.
I've longed for you, so long we've been apart, what can I do?
Have you forgotten me, Uda?
Our vows and promises, when we were together as one.

Oh, Uda, the very core of my being,
The ship has arrived, the fruit is ripe,
I wait for you at Taluak Bayua, but you never come.
The ship has arrived, the fruit is ripe,
I wait for you at Taluak Bayua, but you never come.

Oh... Uda, come home, Uda...

In a faraway land, among strangers,
Now you've forgotten, now you've forgotten your Minang girl.
Not even a letter, no news at all,
I wait and wait, with tears in my eyes.

Woe is me, my love hangs suspended without a rope.
Woe is me, my love hangs suspended without a rope.

Oh... Uda, come home, Uda...

In a faraway land, among strangers,
Now you've forgotten, now you've forgotten your Minang girl.
Not even a letter, no news at all,
I wait and wait, with tears in my eyes.

Woe is me, my love hangs suspended without a rope.
Woe is me, my love hangs suspended without a rope.

Oh... Uda, oh please, come home, Uda...
