Mulanya - Iwan Fals traduction en anglais

Mulanya

Yuk, ga, pat

Waktu itu awal delapan puluhan
Aku lamar kamu jadi istriku
Mulanya biasa saja
Kuajak kamu sambil cengengesan

Entah apa yang membuatku nekat begitu
Aku pun tak tahu bagaimana menghidupimu
Hanya gitar dan lagu-lagu yang kupunya
Itu pun hanya sekedarnya saja

Kutemui keluargamu, kutemui bapakmu
Kusebrangi lautan, kupetik bulan dan bintang
Semuanya untukmu, ya untukmu
Tapi juga untukku juga ding
Hutan, gunung dan jalanan hanyalah tamu

Sampai hari itu datang, kamu pasrah
Aku merasa menjadi berarti
Terima kasih kamu sudah mau percaya
Semoga langgeng dan menjadi inspirasi

Aku berusaha mengingat-ingat lagi
Lalu kucatat dan menjadi lagu
Karena memang dari situlah awal mulanya
Untuk buah hati, lingkungan dan hidup itu sendiri

Kutemui keluargamu, kutemui bapakmu
Kusebrangi lautan, kupetik bulan dan bintang
Semuanya untukmu, ya untukmu
Tapi juga untukku juga ding
Hutan, gunung dan jalanan hanyalah tamu

Sampai hari itu datang, kamu pasrah
Aku merasa menjadi berarti
Terima kasih kamu sudah mau percaya
Semoga langgeng dan menjadi inspirasi

Aku berusaha mengingat-ingat lagi
Lalu kucatat dan menjadi lagu
Karena memang dari situlah kita mulanya
Untuk buah hati, lingkungan dan hidup itu sendiri

Waktu itu awal delapan puluhan

The Beginning

Come on, baby, let's do this

It was the early eighties
When I asked you to be my wife
It started off casually
I asked you with a grin

I don't know what gave me the courage
I had no idea how I would support you
All I had was my guitar and my songs
And even those were just mediocre

I met your family, I met your father
I crossed the ocean, I plucked the moon and the stars
All for you, yes, for you
But also for myself, of course
The forests, the mountains, and the roads were just visitors

Until that day came, when you said yes
I felt like I had a purpose
Thank you for believing in me
May our love last forever and inspire others

I tried to remember everything
And then I wrote it down and turned it into a song
Because that's where it all began
For our children, for the environment, and for life itself
