Текст и перевод песни Broery Marantika - Balada Seorang Minta-Minta

Balada Seorang Minta-Minta

Kisah seorang minta-minta
Yang hampir-hampir meninggalkan dunia
Di satu pinggiran jalan yang sepi
Perut kelaparan terasa nyeri

Terdengar tangisan merana
Si Buyung yang selalu dibawa-bawa
Yang tak pernah kenal akan bapaknya
Hanya satu kasih sayang ibunda

Siang dan malam
Hanya minta-minta
Demi kasihnya
Pada anaknya

Menghadapi saat akhirnya
Dia berdoa pada Tuhan Yang Esa
Agar sudi melimpahkan rahmat-Nya
Kepada anak yang ditinggalkannya

Tak tahan menanggung derita
Pengemis itu pun meninggal dunia
Diiringi tangis sedih anaknya
Tak seorang pun sudi menolongnya

Oh, kasihan dia
Siapa yang menolongnya
Insan pengasih
Ulurkan tanganmu

Oh, kasihan dia
Siapa yang menolongnya
Insan pengasih
Ulurkan tanganmu

The Ballad of a Beggar

The story of a beggar
Who nearly left the world
On a lonely stretch of road
Her stomach was growling with hunger

A pitiful cry was heard
Her son, Buyung, whom she always carried
Who had never known his father
Knew only his mother's loving care

Day and night
She begged for money
For her love
For her son

Facing her final hour
She prayed to the One True God
To shower his mercy
On the child she would leave behind

Unable to bear her suffering
The beggar died
As her son wept in sadness
No one would help her

Oh, have pity on her
Who will help her
Compassionate man
Reach out your hand

Oh, have pity on her
Who will help her
Compassionate man
Reach out your hand
