Текст и перевод песни Ihab Ismail - Akar Kita Zapin

Akar Kita Zapin

Kumulakan karangan ini dengan nama Allah
Tuhan Ilahi
Kumohon limpahan berkat atas segala nikmat yang telah diberi
Kuucapkan pujian kepada Allah
Akan sebenar-benar pujian
Kuiringkan pujian dengan kesyukuran
Yang amat tinggi

Berbunga tanjung buat hiasan
Si bunga raya tumbuh merata
Berbunga tanjung buat hiasan
Si bunga raya tumbuh merata

Jangan dicanggung adat warisan
Seni budaya wajahnya kita
Jangan dicanggung adat warisan
Seni budaya wajahnya kita

Akar kita zapin, akar kita zapin (akar kita zapin)
Akar kita zapin, akar kita zapin (akar kita zapin, akar kita zapin)

Akar kita zapin, akar kita zapin (akar kita zapin)
Akar kita zapin, akar kita zapin (akar kita zapin, akar kita zapin)

Mawar nan merah pengubat rindu
Harum kasturi mengikat cinta
Mawar nan merah pengubat rindu
Harum kasturi mengikat cinta

Geruh bertingkah sama beradu
Zapin ditari akarnya kita
Geruh bertingkah sama beradu
Zapin ditari akarnya kita, akar kita

(Akar kita zapin, akar kita zapin) akar kita zapin
(Akar kita zapin, akar kita zapin) akar kita zapin
(Akar kita zapin, akar kita zapin) akar kita zapin
Akar kita zapin, akar kita zapin (akar kita zapin, akar kita zapin)

Akar kita zapin, akar kita zapin
Akar kita zapin, akar kita zapin
Akar kita zapin

Our Roots Are Zapin

I begin this composition in the name of Allah
Lord Divine
I beseech your blessings upon all the bounties you have bestowed
I offer my praise to Allah
With the truest of praise
I follow my praise with gratitude
Most high
