Paroles et traduction Jamal Mirdad - Topi Sarjana

Topi Sarjana

Terpancang di hatiku
Waktu aku masih duduk di bangku SMA
Semangat yang menyala
Untuk segera dapat, ku menjadi sarjana
Menyumbangkan tenaga
Bagi Ibu Negara

Ketika lulus ujian
Semua nilaiku di atas tujuh, senangnya
Ku menyandang ijazah
Serta doa restu ayah, ibuku, dan saudara
Aku pergi ke kota
Meneruskan cita-cita

Ayahku telah menjual sawahnya
Untuk membekali anaknya, oh-oh
Sesampai di kota, aku terpana
Mendengar kata mereka
Ratusan ribu ku perlu lagi
Untuk cita-citaku

Oh, menangis dalam hatiku
Mengapakah mesti begitu?
Aku berjalan membayangkan
Wajah ayah, ibuku

Ku memandang ke depan
Topi sarjanaku melayang-layang tertawa
Seakan-akan berkata
Pulanglah segera menghadap ayah, ibunda
Suruh jual semua miliknya
Baru licin jalan ke muka

Topi sarjanaku melayang-layang tertawa
Seakan-akan berkata
Pulanglah segera menghadap ayah, ibunda
Suruh jual semua miliknya

Bachelor's cap

I had it in my heart
When I was still in high school
A passion that burned
To quickly be able to become a bachelor
To contribute my energy
To the State Mother

When I passed the exam
All my scores were above seven, how wonderful
I carried a diploma
As well as the prayers and blessings of my father, mother, and siblings
I went to the city
To pursue my dream

My father had sold his rice field
To provide for his son, oh-oh
When I arrived in the city, I was stunned
To hear what they said
I still need hundreds of thousands
For my ambition

Oh, I cried in my heart
Why does it have to be that way?
I walked along, imagining
The faces of my father and mother

I looked ahead
My bachelor's cap floated and laughed
As if to say
Go back and see your father and mother
Tell them to sell all their belongings
Then the road ahead will be smooth
