Paroles et traduction Zainal Abidin - Baba

Baba

Siang malam madukan
Alam yang berlainan
Untuk melarikan kepedihan

Terpisahmu dari kecil
Ke sudut terpencil
Jauh dari ayah dan bundamu, uye

Baba
Pudar remajamu selalu terbayang
Lorong kecil yang berliku

Baba
Kabur ingatanmu hanyut dalam keligatan arus
Arus yang beracun
Yang meracunimu

Dicelah kamar gelita
Kau yang bercerita
Hasrat di hatimu
Untuk kembali

Layu matamu kau rebah
Semuanya berubah
Kini kau berada di lubukku, ye-ye

Oo-oo, ye-ye

Tuamu tiba
Sebelum umurmu
Sebelum umurmu
Biarpun namamu Baba
Jangan keranamu mereka

Baba
Kabur ingatanmu hanyut dalam keligatan arus
Arus yang meracun
Yang meracunimu, ye-ye

Baba
Pudar remajamu selalu terbayang
Lorong kecil yang berliku, ye-ye

Baba
Kabur ingatanmu hanyut dalam keligatan arus
Arus yang meracun
Yang meracunimu

Ye-yeah-yeah

Baba, oh baba
Baba, o-uo, yeah
Baba, o-uo, yeah

Baba

Night and day melt together
In the realm of difference
Seeking refuge from the pain

Separated from you as a child
To a remote corner
Far from your father and mother, uye

Baba
Your youthful glow fades and lingers in my mind
Through the winding corridors

Baba
Your memories blur, swept away by the treacherous current
The poisonous current
That intoxicates you

In the dark recesses of the chamber
You are the storyteller
The desire in your heart
To return

Your eyes grow dim, you collapse
Everything changes
Now you are in my depths, ye-ye

Oo-oo, ye-ye

Your time has come
Before your lifespan ends
Before your lifespan ends
Even though your name is Baba
Do not let them deceive you

Baba
Your memories blur, swept away by the treacherous current
The poisonous current
That intoxicates you, ye-ye

Baba
Your youthful glow fades and lingers in my mind
Through the winding corridors, ye-ye

Baba
Your memories blur, swept away by the treacherous current
The poisonous current
That intoxicates you

Ye-yeah-yeah

Baba, oh baba
Baba, o-uo, yeah
Baba, o-uo, yeah
