Текст и перевод песни Iwan Fals - Cendrawasih

Cendrawasih

Sayap-sayap cinta bagaikan cendrawasih

Wings of love like a bird of paradise

Kabarkan berita duka alam raya

Announcing the sad news of the universe

Hati bumi luka anak durhaka

The heart of the earth is wounded, ungrateful children

Terjungkal merintih menghiba

Collapsed, groaning and sobbing

Rindu tergoda oleh tembok

Longing tempted by walls

Dendam menampakkan wajah gelap

Revenge shows a dark face

Tetes air mata para malaikat

Tears of angels

Berjatuhan ke lahan berdebu

Falling onto dusty ground

Tak hirau akan kesuburan

Regardless of fertility

Kering menindas nurani

Aridity oppresses conscience

Hap-hap hap hap-hap hap-hap

Pant-pant pant-pant pant-pant

Sayap-sayap cinta bagaikan cendrawasih

Wings of love like a bird of paradise

Kabarkan cerita menyayat

Announcing a heartbreaking story

Bulan berdengung di dalam bayangan

Echoing moon in the shadows

Menghadirkan rupa yang tajam

Bringing forth a sharp image

Di bibir tebing kelam tinggi

On the edge of a high, dark cliff

Lirih terdengar angin berdoa

Softly the wind is heard praying

Gairah harum lembut kebebasannya

The fragrant, gentle passion of freedom

Laksana aroma bunga hutan

Like the aroma of forest flowers

Tercium dari puncak gunung

Sensed from the mountaintop

Gemetar sadar terancam

Trembling, aware of threats

Sayap-sayap cinta bagaikan cendrawasih

Wings of love like a bird of paradise

Diburu luka karena keindahannya

Hunted for its beauty

Kesadaran bersinar dengan merdeka

Enlightenment shines freely

Nyanyi jiwa melebihi tanya

The soul sings beyond question

Ada apa gerangan wahai cendrawasih?

What's wrong, my bird of paradise?

Lingkar matamu hitam letih batinmu

The circles under your eyes are black, your spirit is exhausted

Beratkah deritamu wahai cendrawasih?

Are your burdens heavy, my bird of paradise?

Murung paruhmu kicaukan keluh

Your beak is gloomy, your song is a complaint

Ada apa gerangan?

What's wrong?

Sayap-sayap cinta membela bianglala

Wings of love defend the rainbow

Sayap-sayap cinta membela cakrawala
