Paroles et traduction Iwan Fals - Di Ujung Abad

Di Ujung Abad

Cerita kuno tentang peperangan
Di ujung abad menghantui
Setiap orang

Peralihan banyak memakan korban
Sementara segelintir tuan-tuan
Tertawa girang

Kekuasaan sudah menjadi Tuhan
Pengkhianatan adalah
Panglima perang

Kesetiaan jadi janji murahan
Kisah inilah dongeng tidur
Bayi-bayiku

Bertahan hidup
Harus bisa bersikap lembut
Walau hati panas
Bahkan terbakar sekalipun

Keluh-kesah ini
Mungkin berguna
Jadikan teman sejati
Di medan juang

Bisa jadi kita bosan
Tapi kenyataan

Badai datang
Tak bosan-bosan
Waspadalah, kawan
Perjuangan masih panjang

Cerita kuno tentang peperangan
Di ujung abad menghantui
Setiap orang

Kesetiaan jadi janji murahan
Kisah inilah dongeng tidur
Bayi-bayiku

At the End of the Century

An ancient tale of war
Haunts every person
At the end of the century

Transition claims many victims
While a few lords
Laugh in delight

Power has become God
And betrayal is
The warlord

Loyalty is a cheap promise
This story is a bedtime tale
For my dear little ones

To survive
One must be gentle
Even though their heart is aflame
Even if it burns bright

This lament
May be of some use
And become a true friend
On the battlefield

Perhaps we may grow weary
But the reality

The storm is coming
And never grows weary
Be vigilant, my friend
The struggle is still long

An ancient tale of war
Haunts every person
At the end of the century

Loyalty is a cheap promise
This story is a bedtime tale
For my dear little ones
