Paroles et traduction Iwan Fals - Tarmijah Dan Problemanya

Tarmijah Dan Problemanya

Cerita duka pembantu rumah tangga
Harga Tarmijah sebulan delapan ribu rupiah

Di pagi buta sedang pulas tidur kita
Neng Tarmijah sudah bangun lalu bekerja

Siapkan sarapan
Bersihkan halaman
Siapkan pakaian
Seragam sekolah untuk anak majikan

Setelah beres, Tarmijah dipanggil nyonya
Pergi ke pasar belanja ini hari

Asin sedikit, Tarmijah di caci maki
Masakan lezat tak pernah dipuji
Oh, sudah pasti keki
Namun hanya disimpan dalam hati

Di malam minggu anak majikan berdandan
Sambut sang pacar itu suatu kewajiban

Nona Tarmijah tak mau ketinggalan
Lalu berdandan, siap untuk berkencan

Nyonya majikan lihat Tarmijah berkencan
Di muka rumah terhalang pagar halaman

Nyonya naik pitam, Tarmijah kena hantam
Nyonya naik pitam, Tarmijah kena hantam
Tarmijah K.O
Tarmijah K.O

Tarmijah and Her Problems

A tale of woe for a domestic helper
Tarmijah's salary is eight thousand rupiah a month

In the early morning, while we're still fast asleep
Neng Tarmijah is already up and working

Preparing breakfast
Cleaning the yard
Laying out clothes
School uniforms for the master's children

Once she's finished, Tarmijah is summoned by the mistress
Go to the market, shop for today

A little too salty, Tarmijah is scolded
Delicious cooking is never complimented
Oh, she's certainly upset
But she keeps it all bottled up inside

On Saturday night, the master's daughter gets all dressed up
To greet her boyfriend, it's a must

Nona Tarmijah doesn't want to miss out
So she gets dressed up, ready for a date

The mistress sees Tarmijah on a date
In front of the house, blocked by the yard fence

The mistress flies into a rage, Tarmijah is hit
The mistress flies into a rage, Tarmijah is hit
Tarmijah is knocked out
Tarmijah is knocked out
