Текст и перевод песни Elvy Sukaesih - Wahai Kaumku

Wahai Kaumku

Wahai kaumku yang masih gadis
Coba dengar nasihatku ini
'Pabila mau cari suami
Waspada dan berhati-hatilah

Jangan pandang hartanya
Jangan pandang rupanya
Yang penting budi pekertinya

Sering kali terjadi
Kawin karena harta
Lenyap hartanya
Lenyap pula cintanya

Jangan pula kau kawin
Kar'na tampan rupanya
Ah, makan hati
Banyak yang jatuh cinta

Wahai kaumku yang masih gadis
Coba dengar nasihatku ini
Namun, semua terserah Anda
Ini cuma nasihatku saja

Sering kali terjadi
Kawin karena harta
Lenyap hartanya
Lenyap pula cintanya

Jangan pula kau kawin
Kar'na tampan rupanya
Ah, makan hati
Banyak yang jatuh cinta

Wahai kaumku yang masih gadis
Coba dengar nasihatku ini
Namun, semua terserah Anda
Ini cuma nasihatku saja

Oh My People

Oh my people, young maidens,
Listen to my advice,
When you're looking for a husband,
Be cautious and careful.

Don't look at his wealth,
Don't look at his appearance,
What matters is his character.

It often happens,
Marriage for wealth,
Wealth disappears,
Love also disappears.

Don't marry
Just for handsome looks,
Ah, heartache,
Many will fall in love.

Oh my people, young maidens,
Listen to my advice,
However, it's all up to you,
This is just my advice.

It often happens,
Marriage for wealth,
Wealth disappears,
Love also disappears.

Don't marry
Just for handsome looks,
Ah, heartache,
Many will fall in love.

Oh my people, young maidens,
Listen to my advice,
However, it's all up to you,
This is just my advice.
