Paroles et traduction Saloma - Mengapa Dirindu

Mengapa Dirindu

Anak punai, anak merbah
Terbang turun buat sarang
Anak sungai pun berubah
Ini pula hati orang
Mengapa dikenang?

Asal kapas jadi benang
Dari benang dibuat baju
Barang lepas jangan kenang
Sudah jadi orang baru
Mengapa dirindu?

Kasih yang dulu tinggal dalam mimpi
Kasih yang baru simpan di hati
Kasih yang dulu tinggal dalam mimpi
Kasih yang baru simpan di hati

Selat teduh, lautan tenang
Banyak labuh perahu Aceh
Jangan kesal, jangan kenang
Walau hati rasa pedih
Mengapa bersedih?

Kalau pinang masih muda
Rasanya kelat sudahlah pasti
Kalau hilang kasih lama
Cari lain untuk ganti
Mengapa dinanti?

Patah kan tumbuh, hilang berganti
Luka kan sembuh kalau diubati
Patah kan tumbuh, hilang berganti
Luka kan sembuh kalau diubati

Sayang, mengapa dirindu?

Why I Miss You

Birds of Paradise, Honey Eaters
Fly down to build their nests
Even rivers change their course
So do people's hearts
Why do I remember you?

From cotton comes thread
From thread comes cloth
What's gone, let it be gone
You are with someone new
Why do I miss you?

Past love, now just a dream
New love, now in my heart
Past love, now just a dream
New love, now in my heart

Calm straits, tranquil seas
Where Acehnese boats sail
Don't be upset, don't remember
Though your heart aches
Why are you sad?

Young betel nuts taste bitter
That's for sure
If you've lost an old love
Find a new one to replace them
Why do you wait?

Broken things can be mended, lost things replaced
Wounds can heal if they are treated
Broken things can be mended, lost things replaced
Wounds can heal if they are treated

My love, why do I miss you?
