Paroles et traduction Tan Sri P. Ramlee - 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 is the True Desire of the Heart

Which is the true desire of the heart?
I can't stand to bear the longing
Could it be far away, across rocky paths
Or behind the blue clouds?

If I were to be your lover
Cooking and cleaning, leave it all to me
If I were to be your husband
I'd wash your clothes and every stitch

Hey, cook, I don't want you
Oh, washerman, you break my heart
I'm looking for someone that matches me
As long as my heart is content

This is the one I've been looking for
Thick mustache, snake in the grass
This is the man a maiden's dream
Handsome and charming, sweet indeed

Oh, it's so hard to find a match
I don't want someone brave, or thin
My heart is tired, not interested
Because your character is not right

Let it be a demon or a ghost
I'll eat rocks for a month
Let it be a phantom or a ghoul
I'll go back to my village and plant beans
