Paroles et traduction Siti Nurhaliza - Cindai

Cindai

Cindailah mana tidak berkias?
Jalinnya lalu rentah beribu
Bagailah mana hendak berhias?
Cerminku retak seribu

Mendendam unggas liar di hutan
Jalan yang tinggal, jangan berliku
Tilamku emas, cadarnya intan
Berbantal lengan tidurku

Hias cempaka kenanga tepian
Mekarnya kuntum, nak idam kumbang
Puas kujaga si bunga impian
Gugurnya sebelum berkembang

Hendaklah, hendak, hendak kurasa (aduh, sayang)
Puncaknya gunung hendak ditawan
Tidaklah, tidak, tidak kudaya (aduh, sayang)
Tingginya tidak terlawan

Janganlah, jangan, jangan kuhiba (aduh, sayang)
Derita hati jangan dikenang
Bukanlah, bukan, bukan kupinta (aduh, sayang)
Merajuk bukan berpanjangan

Akar beringin tidak berbatas
Cuma bersilang paut di tepi
Bidukku lilin, layarnya kertas
Seberang laut berapi

Gurindam lagu bergema takbir
Tiung bernyanyi pohonan jati
Bertanam tebu di pinggir bibir
Rebung berduri di hati

Laman memutih, pawana menerpa
Langit membiru, awan bertali
Bukan dirintih pada siapa
Menunggu sinarkan kembali

Hendaklah, hendak, hendak kurasa (aduh, sayang)
Puncaknya gunung hendak ditawan
Tidaklah, tidak, tidak kudaya (aduh, sayang)
Tingginya tidak terlawan

Janganlah, jangan, jangan kuhiba (aduh, sayang)
Derita hati jangan dikenang
Bukanlah, bukan, bukan kupinta (aduh, sayang)
Merajuk bukan berpanjangan

(Hendaklah, hendak, hendak kau rasa) aduh, sayang
(Puncaknya gunung hendak ditawan)
Tidaklah (tidaklah, tidak, tidak kau daya)
Tingginya tidak terlawan

(Janganlah, jangan, jangan kau hiba) aduh, sayang
(Derita hati jangan dikenang)
Bukanlah (bukanlah, bukan, bukan kau pinta)
Merajuk bukan berpanjangan

Cindai

Where is the jade plant that bears no fruit?
Its tendrils are endless, a thousand in number
How can I adorn myself?
My mirror is shattered into a thousand pieces

I resent the wild birds in the forest
The path that remains, let it not be winding
My mattress is gold, my veil is diamonds
I sleep with my arms as pillows

I planted frangipanis and champacas along the edge
The flowers are in bloom, and the beetles long for them
I guarded my dream flowers with all my might
But they wilted before they could bloom

I want to, I want to, I want to try (oh darling)
To climb to the peak of the mountain
I can't, I can't, I can't do it (oh darling)
It's too high, I can't reach it

Don't, don't, don't be sad (oh darling)
Don't dwell on the pain in your heart
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't ask you (oh darling)
To keep sulking forever

The roots of the banyan tree are endless
They just cross and intertwine on the surface
My boat is made of wax, its sails are made of paper
I'm crossing a sea of fire

A song of praise, a song of gratitude
Birds sing in the teak trees
Sugar cane grows on the edge of my lips
Thorny bamboo in my heart

The field turns white as the wind blows
The sky is blue, the clouds are braided
I don't complain to anyone
I'm waiting for the sun to shine again

I want to, I want to, I want to try (oh darling)
To climb to the peak of the mountain
I can't, I can't, I can't do it (oh darling)
It's too high, I can't reach it

Don't, don't, don't be sad (oh darling)
Don't dwell on the pain in your heart
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't ask you (oh darling)
To keep sulking forever

I want to, I want to, I want you to try (oh darling)
To climb to the peak of the mountain
I can't, I can't, I can't do it
It's too high, I can't reach it

Don't, don't, don't be sad (oh darling)
Don't dwell on the pain in your heart
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't ask you
To keep sulking forever
