Paroles et traduction Iwan Fals - Cikal

Cikal

Kerbau di kepalaku ada yang suci
Kerbau di kepalamu senang bekerja
Kerbau di sini teman petani

Ular di negara maju menjadi sampah nuklir
Ular di dalam buku menjadi hiasan tato
Ular di sini memakan tikus

Kerbauku kerbau petani
Ularku ular sanca
Kerbauku teman petani
Ularku memakan tikus

Kerbauku besar, kerbauku seram
Tetapi ia bukan pemalas
Hidupnya sederhana hmmm mm

Sancaku besar, sancaku seram
Mengganti kulit, keluar sarang, makan, dan bertapa
Hidupnya sederhana

Ularku ular sanca
Kerbauku kerbau petani
Ularku memakan tikus
Kerbauku teman petani

Walau kerbauku bukan harimau
Tetapi ia bisa seperti harimau
Kerbauku tetap kerbau
Kerbau petani yang senang bekerja
Sancaku melilitnya
Kerbauku tidak terganggu
Karena sancaku dan kerbau
Temannya petani hmmm mm mm
Lalu di mana anak-anak sang tikus?

Bayi, bayi, bayi
Murni dan kosong
Bayi, bayi, bayi
Bayi ya bayi

Kalau kita sedang tidur dan tiba-tiba saja kita terbangun
Karena lubang hidung kita terkena kumis harimau
Mungkin kita akan lari, ya lari
Tetapi bayiku tidak

Bukan karena bayiku belum bisa berlari
Aku percaya
Aku percaya

Bayiku tidak akan pernah berpikir
Bahwa harimau itu jahat
Bayiku menarik-narik kumis
Dan memukul-mukul mulut harimau
Harimau malah memberikan bayiku mainan

Bayiku menjadi bayi harimau
Bayi harimau anak petani
Seperti sanca melilit kerbau
Ia ada di gorong-gorong kota
Lantas apa agamanya?

Kerbauku kerbau petani
Ularku ular sanca
Bayiku murni dan kosong
Ia ada di gorong-gorong kota

Kerbauku kerbau petani
Ularku ular sanca
Bayiku bayi harimau
Ia ada di gorong-gorong kota

Bayi, bayi, bayi
Murni dan kosong

Bayi, bayi, bayi
Bayi harimau

Bayi, bayi, bayi
Yang berkalung sanca

Bayi, bayi, bayi
Yang disusui kerbau

Kerbauku kerbau petani
Ularku ular sanca
Bayiku murni dan kosong
Ia ada di gorong-gorong kota

Kerbauku kerbau petani
Ularku ular sanca
Bayiku bayi harimau
Ia ada di gorong-gorong kota

Cikal

Buffalo in my head there is sacred
Buffalo in your head, happy to work
Buffalo here, companions to the farmers

Snakes in developed countries, turned into nuclear waste
Snakes in books, become tattoo ornaments
Snakes here, eat the rats

My buffalo, buffalo of farmers
My snake, the python
My buffalo, companions to the farmers
My snake, eats the rats

My buffalo is big, my buffalo is scary
But it's not lazy
Lives a simple life, hmmm mm

My python is big, my python is scary
Shedding skin, leaving the den, eating, and meditating
Lives a simple life

My snake is a python
My buffalo is a farmer's buffalo
My snake eats the rats
My buffalo, companions to the farmers

Although my buffalo is not a tiger
But it can be like a tiger
My buffalo remains a buffalo
Buffalo of farmers, happy to work
My python coils around it
My buffalo doesn't get disturbed
Because my python and my buffalo
Are companions to the farmers hmmm mm mm
And where are the baby rats?

Baby, baby, baby
Pure and empty
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, oh baby

When we're sleeping and suddenly we wake up
Because a tiger's whisker has touched our nostrils
Maybe we will run, oh run
But my baby doesn't

Not because my baby can't run yet
I believe
I believe

My baby will never think
That tigers are evil
My baby pulls at the tiger's whiskers
And paws at the tiger's mouth
The tiger gifts my baby with a toy

My baby becomes a baby tiger
Baby tiger, child of farmers
Like the python that coils around the buffalo
It is in the city's drains
And what is its religion?

My buffalo is a farmer's buffalo
My snake is a python
My baby is pure and empty
It is in the city's drains

My buffalo is a farmer's buffalo
My snake is a python
My baby is a baby tiger
It is in the city's drains

Baby, baby, baby
Pure and empty

Baby, baby, baby
Baby tiger

Baby, baby, baby
With a python necklace

Baby, baby, baby
Suckled by a buffalo

My buffalo is a farmer's buffalo
My snake is a python
My baby is pure and empty
It is in the city's drains

My buffalo is a farmer's buffalo
My snake is a python
My baby is a baby tiger
It is in the city's drains
