Paroles et traduction P. Ramlee & Saloma - Yang Mana Satu Idaman Kalbu

Yang Mana Satu Idaman Kalbu

Yang mana satu idaman kalbu?
Tidak tertahan menanggung rindu
Mungkinkah jauh berbatu-batu?
Atau di balik awan yang biru?

Kalaulah aku jadi temanmu
Masak-memasak serah padaku
Kalaulah aku jadi suami
Kain baju aku cuci

Hai tukang masak aku tak sudi
Oh tukang cuci menyakitkan hati
Aku mencari biar berpadan
Asal di hati dapat berkenan

Inilah dia yang dicari-carinya
Misai tebal ular sawah
Ini orangnya idaman dara
Lawa tiada manis ada

Oh sungguh susah cari pasangan
Tak mau yang gagah, kurus pun bukan
Hati dah bosan tidak berkenan
Sebab perangai tidak siuman

Biarlah setan ataupun hantu
Cukup bulan makan batu
Biarlah hantu atau jembalang
Balik kampung tanam kacang

Which One Is the Heart's Desire?

Which one is the heart's desire?
I can't bear this longing anymore
Could it be miles and miles away?
Or beyond the blue clouds?

If I were your companion (Man)
Cooking would be my task
If I were your husband (Man)
I'd wash your clothes

A cook, I don't desire! (Woman)
Oh, a laundryman hurts my pride! (Woman)
I'm searching for a suitable match
As long as it pleases my heart

This is the one she's been searching for (Man)
A thick mustache like a water snake
This is the man of a maiden's dreams (Woman)
Not handsome, but sweet indeed

Oh, it's so hard to find a partner
Not the strong one, nor the thin one
My heart is weary and displeased
Because their behavior is insane

Be it a devil or a ghost (Woman)
At the end of the month, eating stones (Man)
Be it a ghost or a goblin (Woman)
Going back to the village to plant beans (Man)
