Текст и перевод песни Iwan Fals - Tak Biru Lagi Lautku

Tak Biru Lagi Lautku

Hamparan pasir
Tampak putih berbuih
Kala sisa ombak merayap
Hamparan pasir
Terasa panas menyengat
Di telapak kaki yang berkeringat

Camar-camar hitam
Terbang rendah melayang
Di sekitar perahu nelayan
Daun kelapa
Elok saat melambai
Mengikuti arah angin

Tampak ombak
Kejar-mengejar menuju karang
Menampar tubuh pencari ikan
Semilir angin berhembus
Bawa dendang unggas laut
Seperti restui jala nelayan

Gurau mereka
Oh, memang akrab dengan alam
Kudengar dari kejauhan
Dan batu-batu karang
Tertawa ramah bersahabat
Memaksa aku 'tuk bernyanyi

Tampak ombak
Kejar-mengejar menuju karang
Menampar tubuh pencari ikan
Semilir angin berhembus
Bawa dendang unggas laut
Seperti restui jala nelayan

Itu dahulu
Berapa tahun yang lalu
Cerita orang tuaku
Sangat berbeda
Dengan apa yang ada
Tak biru lagi lautku
Tak riuh lagi camarku
Tak rapat lagi jalamu
Tak kokoh lagi karangku
Tak buas lagi ombakmu
Tak elok lagi daun kelapaku
Tak senyum lagi nelayanku
Tak senyum lagi nelayanku

The Blue Sea Is Not My Sea Anymore

A stretch of sand
Appears white and frothy
As the last of the waves washes ashore
A stretch of sand
Feels hot and scorching
On the sweating soles of my feet

Sooty terns
Fly low and glide
Around the fisherman's boat
Coconut leaves
Are lovely as they wave
Following the direction of the wind

Waves appear
Chasing each other towards the reef
Slapping the bodies of the fishermen
The whispering wind blows
Carries the songs of seabirds
Like a blessing on the fisherman's nets

Their banter
Oh, they're so familiar with nature
I can hear it from afar
And the rocks of the reef
Laugh friendly and companionable
Urging me to sing

Waves appear
Chasing each other towards the reef
Slapping the bodies of the fishermen
The whispering wind blows
Carries the songs of seabirds
Like a blessing on the fisherman's nets

That was then
How many years ago
My parents' story
Is very different
From what it is now
The blue sea is not my sea anymore
The terns are not raucous anymore
Your nets are not as tightly knit anymore
The reefs are not as sturdy anymore
The waves are not as savage anymore
The coconut leaves are not as pretty anymore
My fishermen no longer smile
My fishermen no longer smile
