Paroles et traduction Obbie Messakh - Sarimi

Sarimi

Si Sarimi gadis desa Banyuwangi
Yang terdaftar jadi pembantu dalam negeri
Sedang bengong nongkrong di kamar malam ini
Dia resah kapan punya suami

Menghayal jadi istri pegawai negeri
Selalu rapih gagah dengan batik korpri
Walaupun gaji kecil tak perduli
Yang penting dia setia untuk mengabdi

Si Sarimi gadis desa Banyuwangi
Yang bekerja jadi pembantu Babah Awi
Seorang duda yang ditinggal mati sang istri
Yang bunuh diri lantaran kalah main judi

Istrinya yang sekarang suku sunda asli
Bekas seorang pelayan warung bakmi
Babah Awi sayangnya setengah mati
Demi sang istri dia pergi naik haji
Dan ganti nama jadi Mohammad Ali

Babah Awi yang punya
Anak lelaki semata wayang
Yang kini sedang puber akhir baligh
Karena kurang perhatian dia sering mabok-mabokan
Dan diam-diam dia sering pergi keluar malam
Alias ngibing kelilingan di bongkaran

Alkisah dasar jodoh di tangan hansip
Anak Babah Awi jatuh cinta dengan Sarimi
Akibatnya terjadilah asimilasi
Anak peribumi kawin dengan WNI

Sebagai istri Sarimi menjunjung tinggi
Harga diri seorang anak negeri
Maskawinnya dia minta sebuah peci
Bekal sang suami pergi naik haji

Cing cangkeling sapulopa dimut tena kulari
Abah jeung anak sadayana munggah haji
Cing cangkeling sapulopa dimut tena kulari
Abah jeung anak sadayana munggah haji
Cing cangkeling sapulopa dimut tena kulari

Sarimi

Sarimi, a village girl from Banyuwangi
Who works as a domestic helper
Is sitting alone in her room tonight
Thinking about when she'll get a husband

She dreams of being the wife of a civil servant
Always neat and handsome in his batik uniform
Even though the salary is small, she doesn't care
As long as he's loyal and dedicated

Sarimi, a village girl from Banyuwangi
Who works for Babah Awi
A widower whose wife committed suicide
After losing all his money gambling

His current wife is a native of Sunda
A former waitress in a noodle shop
Babah Awi loves her dearly
He even went on the pilgrimage to Mecca for her
And changed his name to Mohammad Ali

Babah Awi
Has a son
Who is now in his late teens
Due to lack of attention, he often gets drunk
And secretly goes out at night
Chasing women at the brothels

As fate would have it
Babah Awi's son falls in love with Sarimi
And they end up getting married
A native son marrying a foreign-born woman

As a wife, Sarimi upholds the honor
Of a daughter of her homeland
She asks for a peci as her dowry
For her husband to wear on his pilgrimage

Cing cangkeling sapulopa dimut tena kulari
Father and son both went on the pilgrimage
Cing cangkeling sapulopa dimut tena kulari
Father and son both went on the pilgrimage
Cing cangkeling sapulopa dimut tena kulari
