Paroles et traduction Iwan Fals - Ethiopia




Ethiopia
Ethiopia
Dengar rintihan berjuta kepala
Listen to the moans of millions of heads
Waktu lapar menggila
When hunger goes wild
Hamparan manusia tunggu mati
Vast stretches of humanity await death
Nyawa tak ada arti
Life has no meaning
Kering kerontang meradang
Dry and parched, burning
Entah sampai kapan
I don't know how long
Datang tikam nurani
Conscience comes and stabs
Selaksa do'a penjuru dunia
A hundred thousand prayers from all corners of the world
Mengapa tak robah bencana
Why doesn't the disaster change?
Menjerit Afrika mengerang Ethiopia
Screaming Africa, groaning Ethiopia
Ethiopia Ethiopia

Ethiopia
Derap langkah sang penggali kubur
The stride of the grave digger
Angkat yang mati dengan kelingking
He lifts the dead with his little finger
Parade murka bocah petaka
The parade of wrath of the children of misfortune
Tak akan lenyap kian menggema
It won't disappear, it's getting louder
Nafas orang-orang disana
The breath of the people there
Merobek telinga telanjangi kita
Tears apart our ears, lays us bare
Lalat-lalat berdansa cha cha cha
The flies dance cha cha cha
Berebut makan dengan mereka
Fighting over food with them
Tangis bayi ditetek ibunya
The cry of a baby at its mother's breast
Keringkan airmata dunia
Dries up the tears of the world
Obrolan kita dimeja makan
Our conversations at the dinner table
Tentang mereka yang kelaparan
About those who are starving
Lihat sekarat dilayar TV
We see them dying on the TV screen
Antar kita pergi ke alam mimpi
And it sends us to the land of dreams

(Ethiopia) Disana terlihat ribuan burung nazar
(Ethiopia) There you see thousands of vow birds
(Ethiopia) Terbang disisi iga-iga yang keluar
(Ethiopia) Flying beside protruding ribs
(Ethiopia) Jutaan orang memaki takdirnya
(Ethiopia) Millions of people curse their fate
(Ethiopia) Jutaan orang mengutuk nasibnya
(Ethiopia) Millions of people curse their luck
(Ethiopia) Jutaan orang marah
(Ethiopia) Millions of people are angry
(Ethiopia) Jutaan orang tak bisa berbuat apa-apa
(Ethiopia) Millions of people can't do anything
(Ethiopia) Setiap detik selalu saja ada yang merintih
(Ethiopia) Every second there's always someone moaning
(Ethiopia) Setiap menit selalu saja ada yang mengerang
(Ethiopia) Every minute there's always someone groaning
(Ethiopia) Ethiopia Ethiopia
(Ethiopia) Ethiopia Ethiopia
(Ethiopia) Ethiopia Ethiopia
(Ethiopia) Ethiopia Ethiopia
(Ethiopia) Aku dengar jeritan dari sini aku dengar
(Ethiopia) I hear their screams from here, I hear
(Ethiopia) Aku dengar tangismu dari sini aku dengar
(Ethiopia) I hear your cries from here, I hear
(Ethiopia) Namun aku hanya bisa mendengar
(Ethiopia) But I can only hear
(Ethiopia) Aku hanya bisa sedih
(Ethiopia) I can only be sad
(Ethiopia) Hitam kulitmu sehitam nasibmu kawan
(Ethiopia) Your skin is as black as your fate, my friend
(Ethiopia) Ethiopia
(Ethiopia)
(Ethiopia) Waktu kita asik makan waktu kita asik minum
(Ethiopia) While we're enjoying our meals, while we're enjoying our drinks
(Ethiopia) Mereka haus mereka lapar
(Ethiopia) They're thirsty, they're hungry
(Ethiopia) Mereka lapar mereka lapar
(Ethiopia) They're hungry, they're hungry
