Текст и перевод песни The Venopian Solitude - Warkah Pendekar

Warkah Pendekar

Berhari-hari pedih benar mata
Bergenang tak serinya wanita
Melawati jari yang terasa
Sepi tanpa cincin si perjaka
Lalu haru terus hantui
Kalbu halus terus diselubungi

Duka suaminya jaguh pendekar
Hilang tah ke mana
Puas juga teroka sebenua
Kelibat tak muncul tiba

Menangis, sedih, mimpi, mungkin kahwin lagi
Betapa membara dendamnya pada bini muda

Berani kau curang
Pada ku o' sayang
Mata yang keranjang
Akan aku julang
Pada hujung keris
Yang berkarat terhakis
Pada pangkal tombak
Yang mulus ditanak

Dengan kesumat dinda
Dan bisa si sawa
Kau dan adik manis
Kan molek dihiris

Mebemui adinda tercinta
Kanda kini diangkat panglima
Barisan hadapan habis mara
Kanda tunggu dinda di pusara.

Warrior's Letter

For days, my eyes have been burning
With tears that won't stop flowing, my love
Tracing the emptiness I feel
On my finger, bereft of your ring
Longing haunts me constantly
Enveloping my gentle heart

My husband, the warrior, the strong one
Vanished, gone, nowhere to be found
I've searched far and wide across the land
But his shadow never appeared

Crying, grieving, dreaming, could you be marrying another?
How my anger burns towards you, my young wife

How dare you betray me
Oh, my darling
Your wandering eyes
I will lift
To the tip of my rusty dagger
Worn by time and neglect
To the base of my spear
Smooth and honed

With the venom of my hatred
And the poison of the cobra
You and your sweet sister
Will be finely sliced

My beloved, my love
I am now a leader, a commander
The front line, we march forward
I'll wait for you in the grave.
