Ibu

Ibu - Mother
by Ni Wayan Supartiwi

Terbentang telaga kasih
dalam tiada tersurut
ketulusan terpancar
bak matahari menyinari bumi
Ibu kau tempatku bersandar
merapikan sendi-sendi putus
Ibu
kau tempatku mengadu
memadu duka
Namun hanya sekejap
kau pergi jauh
remuk tinggalkan kenangan

There lies lake of love
Deep, never ebbing away

Sincerity radiating
Like the sun shining on earth
Mother you're my resting place

To fix joints broken
Mother
You're whom I could confide in

Merging sorrow
But in a blink of an eye

You left
Broken, leaving behind only memories


*Not literal, word-to-word translation. (Literal: Merapikan sendi-sendi putus: Fixing joints broken; Tempatku mengadu: My complaining place; Namun hanya sekejap: But only a single moment)
