Ibu

Ibu - Mother
by Iwan Fals

Ribuan kilo jalan yang kau tempuh
Lewati rintang untuk aku anakmu
Ibuku sayang masih terus berjalan
Walau tapak kaki penuh darah penuh nanah

Seperti udara kasih yang engkau berikan
Tak mampu ku membalas...
Ibu ... Ibu...

Ingin kudekap dan menangis dipangkuanmu
Sampai aku tertidur bagai masa kecil dulu

Lalu do'a-do'a baluri sekujur tubuhku
Dengan apa membalas ...
Ibu... Ibu...

Thousands of kilometres that you have passed
Uncaring of the obstacles for me, your child
My beloved mother kept on walking
Even when her feet are covered in blood, covered in pus


Love you have given me feels like fresh breezes in spring
There is no way I could repay you,
Mother... Mother...


How I want to hold and cry into your lap
Until I fall asleep just like back then in my childhood


And then whispers of prayers cover my whole body
With what can I repay,
Mother... Mother...
