Текст и перевод песни Jamal Mirdad - Jakarta Bukan Impian

Jakarta Bukan Impian

Dari sebuah desa
Yang damai sentosa
Berbekal ijazah SMA
Aku berangkat ke kota

Sesampai aku di sana
Tiada yang menerima
Beginikah kehidupan
Yang tak pernah kuimpikan?

Kupikir-pikir
Apa artinya hidup di kota ini?
Baru kini aku sadari
Jakarta bukanlah impian

Lebih baik aku kembali
Membangun desaku tercinta

Dari sebuah desa
Yang damai sentosa
Berbekal ijazah SMA
Aku berangkat ke kota

Sesampai aku di sana
Tiada yang menerima
Beginikah kehidupan
Yang tak pernah kuimpikan?

Kupikir-pikir
Apa artinya hidup di kota ini?
Baru kini aku sadari
Jakarta bukanlah impian

Lebih baik aku kembali
Membangun desaku tercinta
Lebih baik aku kembali
Membangun desaku tercinta

Jakarta Isn't a Dream

From a peaceful village
I come with an SMA diploma
Setting off for the city
Oh my dear, I've traveled far

When I finally arrived
I found that no one would take me in
Oh my dear, is this what living is
When my dreams are not coming true?

I've been thinking
What's the point of living in this city?
I've come to realize
Jakarta isn't a dream

I'd rather go back
And build up my beloved village

From a peaceful village
I come with an SMA diploma
Setting off for the city
Oh my dear, I've traveled far

When I finally arrived
I found that no one would take me in
Oh my dear, is this what living is
When my dreams are not coming true?

I've been thinking
What's the point of living in this city?
I've come to realize
Jakarta isn't a dream

I'd rather go back
And build up my beloved village
I'd rather go back
And build up my beloved village
