Paroles et traduction Iwan Fals - Dongeng Sebelum Tidur

Dongeng Sebelum Tidur

Jika sepasang monyet tidur
Jadi buyut moyangku
Jika buyut moyangku tidur
Jadi kakek dan nenekku

Jika kakek dan nenek tidur
Jadi ayah dan ibu
Dan jika ayah dan ibu tidur
Jadi sebiji kepala yaitu kepalaku

Sedangkan waktu aku yang tidur
Nggak jadi apa-apa
Yang jadi cuma beberapa pasang kecoak
Di kolong tempat tidurku

Dan seribu armada kutu
Di atas sprai belang-bentong kasurku
Walaupun mereka itu kecoak dan kutu
Tetapi mereka tetap darah dagingku
Maka dari itu saya minta dengan amat sangat

Anakku yang paling tua
Bernama kecoak Idih Amin
Lahir di Cengkareng
Ey, badannya kerempeng
Matanya sedikit jereng
Kalau berjalan seperti gareng

Anakku Idih Amin orang kaya
Di Cengkareng senang pakai mobil mentereng
Banyak yang tahu mobil Si Amin itu mobil curian
Tapi maklum, Si Amin kebal kerangkeng
Aku benci, aku benci sama Si Amin
Habis Si Amin suka nempeleng
Tapi cuma berani sama tukang kacang goreng
Itu dulu sejuta tahun yang lalu

Kini cerita anakku yang nomor dua
Perempuan, lho!
Cantik, molek, manja, seksi
Lahir di Madura sekolah di Kerawang
Minum jamunya wah jangan ditanya
Dari jamu galian singset sari rapet
Sampai jamu terlambat datang bulan
Tak pernah ketinggalan
Putriku cantik, putriku molek
Putriku pandai memasak
Dari bistik, sepageti, panggang ayam
Capcai goreng, udang rebus
Sampai rendang jengkol
Dia bisa
Tapi mengapa belum juga datang lamaran?

Oh ya, hampir saya lupa
Putriku mempunyai dua kekurangan
Yang mungkin itu sebabnya
Putriku vakum dalam dunia percintaan
Putriku memang anggun
Tapi sayang kepala putriku sebesar bola kasti
Itu satu dan yang kedua
Putriku tidak boleh kena air
Ayo, kenapa?
(Gua tahu dia alergi) bukan!
(Kutu air) bukan!
(Ambeien) bukan, ambeien masa kena air
Ayan
Nananananana...

Anakku yang paling bontot
Pemain sepak bola
Pernah dikirim berguru
Atau dikirim tamasya ke Brazilia
Enam bulan di sana
Begitu pulang kok keok
Eh, kalah semua

Bedtime Story

If a pair of monkeys sleep
They will become my great-grandparents
If my great-grandparents sleep
They will become my grandfather and grandmother

If my grandfather and grandmother sleep
They will become my father and mother
And if my father and mother sleep
They will become a head, that is my head

But when it's my turn to sleep
I won't become anything
All that becomes are a few pairs of cockroaches
Under my bed

And a thousand troops of lice
On my striped mattress cover
Even though they are cockroaches and lice
They are still my flesh and blood
Therefore, I ask you with great urgency

My eldest son
Whose name is Idih Amin the cockroach
Born in Cengkareng
Ey, his body is thin and weak
His eyes are a little crossed
When he walks, he limps like Gareng

My son Idih Amin is a rich man
In Cengkareng, he enjoys driving a flashy car
Many people know that Amin's car is stolen
But it's understandable, Amin is immune to prison
I hate him, I hate Amin
Because Amin likes to hit people
But he only dares to do it to the peanut seller
That was a million years ago

Now for the story of my second child
She's a girl
Beautiful, charming, spoiled, sexy
Born in Madura, went to school in Kerawang
Don't even ask about her herbal drinks
From Slimming Galian Singset Sari Rapet
To herbal drinks to delay menstruation
She never misses them
My beautiful daughter, my charming daughter
My daughter is a great cook
From steak, spaghetti, grilled chicken
Capcai goreng, boiled shrimp
To jengkol rendang
She can do it
But why haven't there been any marriage proposals yet?

Oh yes, I almost forgot
My daughter has two shortcomings
Which are probably the reason why
My daughter is a vacuum in the world of romance
My daughter is indeed graceful
But unfortunately, my daughter's head is as big as a softball
That's one, and the second
My daughter can't get wet
Come on, why?
(I know she's allergic) no!
(Athlete's foot) no!
(Hemorrhoids) no, why would hemorrhoids be affected by water
Epilepsy
Nananananana...

My youngest child
A soccer player
Was once sent to study
Or sent on a vacation to Brazil
Six months there
He came back completely exhausted
Eh, they lost every single game
