Paroles et traduction Iwan Fals - Ibu

Ibu

Ribuan kilo jalan yang kau tempuh
Lewati rintang untuk aku, anakmu
Ibuku sayang, masih terus berjalan
Walau tapak kaki penuh darah, penuh nanah

Seperti udara
Kasih yang engkau berikan
Tak mampu ku membalas Ibu
Ibu

Ingin kudekap
Dan menangis di pangkuanmu
Sampai aku tertidur
Bagai masa kecil dulu

Lalu doa-doa
Baluri sekujur tubuhku
Dengan apa membalas Ibu?
Ibu

Ribuan kilo jalan yang kau tempuh
Lewati rintang untuk aku, anakmu
Ibuku sayang, masih terus berjalan
Walau tapak kaki penuh darah, penuh nanah

Seperti udara
Kasih yang engkau berikan
Tak mampu ku membalas Ibu
Ibu

Mother

Thousands of miles of road you traverse
Overcoming obstacles for me, your child
My dear Mother, still marching on
Even though the soles of your feet are covered in blood and pus

Like air
The love that you give me
I cannot repay you Mother
Mother

I want to embrace you
And weep in your lap
Until I fall asleep
Like I did when I was a child

Then the prayers
Cover my entire body
How can I repay you, Mother?
Mother

Thousands of miles of road you traverse
Overcoming obstacles for me, your child
My dear Mother, still marching on
Even though the soles of your feet are covered in blood and pus

Like air
The love that you give me
I cannot repay you Mother
Mother
