Kisah Mawar di Malam Hari
English source:
E. Zainudin
Alangkah cepat berlalu
Meninggalkan kesah mawar nan melayu
Di embun pagi melesu
Malam dengarkan rintihan mawar merindu
Berbisik dengan irama nan merayu
Melag kasih padamu
Malam apakah gerangan meninggalkan
Mawar juwita nan duka
Malam betapa nasib puspa juwita
Setelah kau bersama embun tiada
Kan hancur mawar merana
The Story of Rose At Night
English translation ©
Prajna Indrawati
how quickly you pass
leaving the sighing withered rose
weakened on a morning dew
Night, please listen to the moaning of the yearning rose
whispering with alluring rhythm
singing with affection for you
Night, why would you abandon
the beautiful rose in sadness
Night, how the beautiful flower’s fate will be
after you and the dew have gone
the rose will be shattered in vain
