Текст и перевод песни Titiek Puspa - Si Hitam Manis

Si Hitam Manis

Dulu pernah aku punya seorang kawan
Namanya lucu tapi cukup mengesankan
Pula badannya kecil dan kulitanya hitam
Baik budi seperti seorang seniman kuingat namanya, oh si hitam

Tapi dia kini tak pernah lagi muncul kembali
Kabarnya dia telah lama pergi
Dan kini menjadi kiai

Oh, si Hitam, si Hitam, kawanku sayang
Walau kini kau tak pernah menjelang datang
Tapi namamu selalu di dalam ingatan
Karena budimu baik seperti seniman salamku padamu ooh si Hitam

Tapi dia kini tak pernah lagi muncul kembali
Kabarnya dia telah lama pergi
Dan kini menjadi kyai

Oh, si Hitam, si Hitam, kawanku sayang
Walau kini kau tak pernah menjelang datang
Tapi namamu selalu di dalam ingatan
Karena budimu baik seperti seniman salamku padamu ooh si Hitam

Black Beauty

I had a friend once,
Their name was funny but impressive,
Their body was small and their skin was black,
As kind-hearted as an artist, their name was Black Beauty.

But they never showed up again,
I heard that they had been gone for a long time,
And now they are a cleric.

Oh, Black Beauty, my dear friend,
Even though you never come around,
Your name is always in my memory,
Because your kindness is like an artist's, my greetings to you, Black Beauty.

But they never showed up again,
I heard that they had been gone for a long time,
And now they are a cleric.

Oh, Black Beauty, my dear friend,
Even though you never come around,
Your name is always in my memory,
Because your kindness is like an artist's, my greetings to you, Black Beauty.
