Paroles et traduction Iwan Fals - Negeri Kaya

Negeri Kaya

Negeri ini memang kaya
Kaya orangnya
Kaya binatangnya
Kaya alamnya
Kaya budayanya

Negeri ini memang kaya
Kaya pejabatnya
Kaya penjahatnya
Kaya idenya
Kaya sejarahnya

Negeri ini memang kaya

Hei, Bung Karno
Aku bersimpuh di makammu
Bertanya tentang Indonesiaku
Hei, Bung Karno
Nyenyakkah tidur abadimu?
'Ku datang mengganggu istirahatmu

Negeri ini memang kaya
Kaya rakyatnya
Yang menangis di ujung malam
Kaya harapannya
Dan kaya agamanya

Merah-putih termangu
Terkulai berdebu
Di pojok gedung bekas penjajah
Pancasila meronta
Garuda terkasih melayang perih

Negeri ini memang kaya

Merah-putih termangu
Terkulai berdebu
Di pojok gedung bekas penjajah
Pancasila meronta
Garuda terkasih melayang perih

Negeri ini memang kaya

Hei, Bung Karno
Aku bersimpuh di makammu
Tebarkan kembang ibu yang letih
Hei, Bung Karno
Nyenyakkah tidur abadimu?
Inikah nyanyian kecewa?

Hei, Bung Karno
Aku bersimpuh di makammu
Akankah kisahmu menjadi api?
Hei, Bung Karno
Nyenyakkah tidur abadimu?
Dingin yang aneh menyiksa negeri

Hei, Bung Karno
Aku bersimpuh di makammu
Maafkanlah aku yang cengeng
Hei, Bung Karno
Nyenyakkah tidur abadimu?
Tularkanlah keberanian itu

Hei, Bung Karno
Aku bersimpuh di makammu
Suaramu menggelegar di kalbu
Hei, Bung Karno
Nyenyakkah tidur abadimu?
Bilakah mimpi-mimpimu 'kan nyata?

Negeri ini memang kaya
Kaya penguasanya yang miskin hatinya
Indonesia raya kaya marahnya
Indonesia raya yang kaya-raya
Negeri ini memang kaya

Rich Country

This country is truly rich
Rich are its people
Rich are its animals
Rich is its nature
Rich is its culture

This country is truly rich
Rich are its officials
Rich are its criminals
Rich are its ideas
Rich is its history

This country is truly rich

Hey, Mr. Karno
I bow before your grave
Asking about my Indonesia
Hey, Mr. Karno
Do you sleep soundly in your eternal rest?
I have come to disturb your rest

This country is truly rich
Rich are its people
Who weep late in the night
Rich are its hopes
And rich its religions

Red and white hang limp
Sagging in the dust
In a corner of a building from the colonialists
Pancasila is struggling
Our Garuda beloved flies painfully

This country is truly rich

Red and white hang limp
Sagging in the dust
In a corner of a building from the colonialists
Pancasila is struggling
Our Garuda beloved flies painfully

This country is truly rich

Hey, Mr. Karno
I bow before your grave
Strew the flowers of your exhausted mother
Hey, Mr. Karno
Do you sleep soundly in your eternal rest?
Is this the song of disappointment?

Hey, Mr. Karno
I bow before your grave
Will your story become a fire?
Hey, Mr. Karno
Do you sleep soundly in your eternal rest?
A strange cold is tormenting the country

Hey, Mr. Karno
I bow before your grave
Forgive me for being whiney
Hey, Mr. Karno
Do you sleep soundly in your eternal rest?
Transmit that courage

Hey, Mr. Karno
I bow before your grave
Your voice thunders in my heart
Hey, Mr. Karno
Do you sleep soundly in your eternal rest?
When will your dreams come true?

This country is truly rich
Rich are its wealthy rulers without heart
Great Indonesia is rich in anger
Great Indonesia that is so rich
This country is truly rich
