Текст и перевод песни Rafika Duri - Burung Merpati

Burung Merpati

Menerjang awan, semangat merpati
Yang satu putih, yang satu kelabu
Berpasangan, merpati sejoli
Berkejaran, berpadu asmara

Menukik tinggi, menghunjam ke bumi
Hinggap di dahan berdampingan lagi
Bercumbuan, merpati sejoli
Iri hati melihat mereka

Kudekati hati-hati
Kudengarkan bisikan mesra

Kudekati hati-hati
Kudengarkan bisikan mesra

Ku-ku-ru-ku-kuk, lembut suaranya
Dug-dig-dag-dig-dug, hati pun bergema
Oh, betapa mesra dan bahagia
Bila aku seperti mereka

Dove Birds

Braving the clouds, the doves' spirit soars,
One pure white, the other soft gray,
A loving pair, these dove sweethearts,
Chasing each other, united in love's embrace.

Soaring high, then diving to the earth,
Landing on a branch, side by side once more,
Caressing, these dove sweethearts,
I envy their tender display.

I approach them cautiously,
Listening to their whispers of love.

I approach them cautiously,
Listening to their whispers of love.

Coo-coo-roo-coo-coo, their voices soft and low,
Thump-thump-tap-thump-thump, my heart echoes the sound,
Oh, how tender and blissful it must be,
If only I could be like them, with you, my love.
