Paroles et traduction Iwan Fals - Bunga-bunga,Kumbang-kumbang

Bunga-bunga,Kumbang-kumbang

Apa memang harus layu
Bunga bunga
Setelah sang kumbang
Menghisap manisnya madumu

Apa memang harus ingkar
Kumbang kumbang
Setelah sang bunga
Terkulai layu tak berguna

Bunga bunga dilahirkan
Untuk dihisap sang kumbang
Kumbang kumbang dilahirkan
Untuk menghisap sang bunga

Bunga bunga dimekarkan
Untuk digoda sang kumbang
Kumbang kumbang diterbangkan
Untuk menggoda sang bunga

Mengapa bunga harus layu?
Setelah kumbang dapatkan madu
Mengapa kumbang harus ingkar?
Setelah bunga tak lagi mekar

Mungkin tuhan telah takdirkan
Kumbang kumbang
Campakkan sang bunga
Setelah layu tak berguna

Bunga bunga dilahirkan
Untuk dihisap sang kumbang
Kumbang kumbang dilahirkan
Untuk menghisap sang bunga

Bunga bunga dimekarkan
Untuk dicampakkan kumbang
Kumbang kumbang diterbangkan
Untuk mencampakkan bunga
Mengapa bunga harus layu?
Setelah kumbang dapatkan madu
Mengapa kumbang harus ingkar?
Setelah bunga tak lagi mekar

Flowers and Bees

Must flowers always wither
My flower
After the bee
Has sipped your sweet nectar

Must bees always be ungrateful
My bee
After the flower
Wilts and becomes useless

Flowers are born
To be sucked by the bee
Bees are born
To suck the flower

Flowers bloom
To be tempted by the bee
Bees fly
To tempt the flower

Why must the flower wither?
After the bee gets honey
Why must the bee be ungrateful?
After the flower no longer blooms

Perhaps God has destined
The bee
To abandon the flower
After it withers and becomes useless

Flowers are born
To be sucked by the bee
Bees are born
To suck the flower

Flowers bloom
To be abandoned by the bee
Bees fly
To abandon the flower
Why must the flower wither?
After the bee gets honey
Why must the bee be ungrateful?
After the flower no longer blooms
