Modern (Live) - Rhoma Irama traduction en anglais

Modern (Live)

Modernisasi yang kini melanda dunia
Menjadi masalah
Ternyata masih banyak yang salah menafsirkannya
Di dalam berkiprah
Modern dicerna sebagai kebebasan
Bebas lepas tanpa adanya batasan

Seks bebas bukanlah modern
Tapi suatu kemesuman
Mabuk-mabuk bukan modern
Tapi suatu kemunkaran

Karena takut dikatakan ketinggalan jaman
E,ikut ikutan
Saringlah dulu apa yang datangnya dari barat
Jangan asal telan
Ambil isi dan campakkanlah kulitnya
Ambil yang baik dan campakkan buruknya
(Pap-pap-pa)

Berkemajuan dan juga berpendidikan
Di dalam segala bidang itu modern

Kemanusiaan tinggi nilai peradaban
Di segala pergaulan itu modern
Mari membangun (Ngun) Negara (Ra)
Dengan landasan (San) agama

Modernisasi yang kini melanda dunia
Menjadi masalah
Ternyata masih banyak yang salah menafsirkannya
Di dalam berkiprah
Modern dicerna sebagai kesombongan
Tidak percaya lagi kepada Tuhan

Nggak sembahyang bukan modern
Tapi suatu keingkaran
Urakan bukanlah modern
Bahkan nyaris seperti hewan

Karena takut dikatakan ketinggalan jaman
E, ikit ikutan
Saringlah dulu apa yang datangnya dari barat
Jangan asal telan
Ambil yang baik dan campakkan buruknya
Ambil isi dan campakkanlah kulitnya

Memakai jilbab rapi sopan dan beradab
Dan ini perintah Tuhan dipersoalkan

Pakaian mini yang membangkitkan birahi
Dan mengundang kejahatan tak keberatan
Bila aurat (Rat) terbuka (Ka)
Pemerkosaan (An) melanda

Modernisasi yang kini melanda dunia
Menjadi masalah
Dan masih banyak yang salah menafsirkannya
Dalam berkiprah
Modern dicerna sebagai kesombongan
Tidak percaya lagi kepada Tuhan

Nggak sembahyang bukan modern
Tapi suatu keingkaran
Urakan bukanlah modern
Tapi nyaris seperti hewan

Karena takut dikatakan ketinggalan jaman
E,ikut ikutan
Saringlah dulu apa yang datangnya dari barat
Jangan asal telan
Ambil isinya campakkanlah kulitnya
Ambil yang baik campakkan buruknya

Modern (Live)

Modernization that's sweeping the world today
Has become a problem, dear
It turns out many misinterpret it, my sweet
In their actions, honey
Modernity is perceived as freedom, darling
Free without any limitations, my love

Free sex isn't modern, sweetheart
But an obscenity, my dear
Getting drunk isn't modern, honey
But an abomination, my love

For fear of being called outdated, darling
Eh, they follow along, my sweet
Filter first what comes from the West, honey
Don't just swallow it whole, my love
Take the content and discard the shell, dear
Take the good and discard the bad, sweetheart
(Pap-pap-pa)

Being progressive and educated, honey
In all fields, that's modern, my love

High humanity, civilized values, dear
In all interactions, that's modern, sweetheart
Let's build (Ngun) a nation (Ra), honey
With a religious (San) foundation, my love

Modernization that's sweeping the world today, darling
Has become a problem, my sweet
It turns out many misinterpret it, honey
In their actions, my love
Modernity is perceived as arrogance, dear
No longer believing in God, sweetheart

Not praying isn't modern, honey
But a denial, my love
Being unruly isn't modern, dear
It's almost like being an animal, sweetheart

For fear of being called outdated, honey
Eh, they follow along, my love
Filter first what comes from the West, dear
Don't just swallow it whole, sweetheart
Take the good and discard the bad, honey
Take the content and discard the shell, my love

Wearing a hijab, neat, polite, and civilized, dear
And this command from God is questioned, sweetheart

Mini-skirts that arouse desire, honey
And invite crime are not objected to, my love
If modesty (Rat) is exposed (Ka), dear
Rape (An) will spread, sweetheart

Modernization that's sweeping the world today, honey
Has become a problem, my love
And many still misinterpret it, dear
In their actions, sweetheart
Modernity is perceived as arrogance, honey
No longer believing in God, my love

Not praying isn't modern, dear
But a denial, sweetheart
Being unruly isn't modern, honey
It's almost like being an animal, my love

For fear of being called outdated, darling
Eh, they follow along, my sweet
Filter first what comes from the West, honey
Don't just swallow it whole, my love
Take the content, discard the shell, dear
Take the good, discard the bad, sweetheart
