Paroles et traduction Hijjaz - Ratu Nil (Yukabid)

Ratu Nil (Yukabid)

Khabar itu merusuh jiwa
Titah yang dicerca semesta
Si kecil bergelar lelaki
Bakal korban si derhaka

Resahmu bertukar debaran
Ketika bergema ketukan
Di mana nak kau sembunyikan
Tubuh kecil tak berdosa

Alam bagaikan membisu
Arus Sungai Nil pun mengalir lesu
Mendengarkan tangismu
Saat menyaksikan
Bayimu yang hanyut bersendirian

Duka tak terbanding kata
Dan halus nalurimu terdera
Sungguh kerinduanmu hebat terduga

Teguhlah ibu yang mulia
Berpegang pada satu percaya
Berpisah bukan selamanya
Janji-Nya bukan dusta

Tika dipanggil ke istana
Lengkaplah kisah kasih yang sempurna
Bayimu kehausan
Lalu kau susukan
Menitis airmatamu kesyukuran

Nyatalah janji Yang Esa
Terpisah 'tuk bertemu semula
Kau genggam kembali jemari kecilnya

Walau diam dalam rahsia
Terpujuk sudah hati yang hiba
Yang dirindu kini kau dakap bahagia

Yukabid engkau tamsil cinta
Lambang tulusnya kasih ibunda
Pengorbanan yang tiada mula
Dan tiada hujungnya

Queen of the Nile (Yukabid)

The news stirs my soul, my love
A decree scorned by all the heavens above
A little one, deemed a man so small
A victim of defiance, destined to fall

Your worry turned to fear, a trembling heart
As the knocking echoed, tearing you apart
Where could you hide him, precious and pure?
A tiny body, innocent and sure

The world stood silent, hushed and still
Even the Nile's current flowed with a chill
Listening to your cries, your heart's lament
As you watched him drift, alone he went
Your baby adrift, a sight so forlorn

Grief beyond words, a pain so deep
Your gentle spirit, wounded and weep
Such longing, more than you could foresee

Be steadfast, noble mother, strong and true
Hold onto one belief, shining through
Parting is not forever, this you must know
His promise is not a lie, let your faith grow

When summoned to the palace, grand and tall
A perfect love story, destined to enthrall
Your baby, parched with thirst, his lips so dry
You nursed him, my love, with tears in your eye
Tears of gratitude, a blessed relief

The promise of the One, now clear and bright
Separated to reunite, bathed in love's light
You clasp his tiny fingers once again

Though kept in secret, hidden from view
Your grieving heart, now soothed and anew
The one you longed for, now held in embrace

Yukabid, you are a symbol of love's grace
An emblem of a mother's love so pure
A sacrifice without beginning, evermore
And without end, forever it shall endure
