Lullabies

Bobok Indonesia

Pengantar tidur adalah sebuah lagu yang menenangkan, biasanya dinyanyikan untuk anak-anak sebelum mereka pergi tidur, dengan maksud mempercepat proses itu. Akibatnya mereka sering sederhana dan berulang-ulang. Lullabies dapat ditemukan di setiap kebudayaan dan sejak masa kuno

Gelang sipaku gelang
Gelang si rama rama.

Let's go home
Come, let's go home
Come, let's go home
Together.

Let's go home
Come, let's go home
Come, let's go home
Together
Nenek Moyangku

Nenek moyangku orang pelaut
Gemar mengarung luas samudera
Menerjang ombak tiada takut
Menembus badai sudah biasa

Angin bertiup, layar berkembang
Ombak menderu di tepi pantai
Pemuda b'rani bangkit sekarang
Ke laut kita beramai-ramai

My ancestors were sailors

Enjoyed sailing the vast oceans
Fearless facing the waves
Familiar with the storms.

Wind blows, sail opens
Wave roars at the beach
Brave youths, stand up
Let us go to the sea.
   
Tik tik tik bunyi hujan

Tik Tik Tik bunyi hujan di atas genteng,
Airnya turun tidak terkira
Cobalah tengok, daun dan ranting,
Pohon dan kebun basah semua.

Tik Tik Tik The Sound of the Rain

Tik Tik Tik, the sound of the rain on the roof
The water pouring down heavily
Take a look, branches and twigs
Trees and gardens, all dripping wet.
Soleram, Soleram

Soleram, soleram
Soleram anak yang manis.
Anak manis, janganlah dicium sayang
Kalau dicium, meralah pipinya.

Satu, dua, tiga, dan empat
Lima, enam, tujuh, delapan,
Kalau tuan dapat kawan baru sayang,
Kawan yang lama ditinggal kan jangan.

Lullaby, Lullaby

Lullaby, lullaby
Lullaby sweet child.
Sweet child, don't kiss him/her - what a pity
If you kiss, their cheeks will go red!

One, two, three, and four
Five, six, seven, and eight
If you have found.....a new friend, dear
Please, don't forget your old friend.
 
   
Balonku ada lima, rupa-rupa warnanya.
Hijau, kuning, kelabu... merah muda dan biru.
Meletus balon hijau - dor!
Hatiku sangat kacau.
Balonku tinggal empat, kupengang erat-erat.

***

My balloons are 5, all sorts of colors.
Green, yellow, gray... pink and blue.
The green balloon explodes - POP!
My heart (liver) is extremely confused (messy).
I still have 4 balloons, my grip on them is tight.
Bangun tidur, ku terus mandi…
Tidak lupa menggosok gigi
Habis mandi ku tolong ibu...
Membersihkan tempat tidurku...

***

When I wake up, I take a bath right away
I never forget to brush my teeth
After bathing, I help my mother
Make my bed.
   
Bintang kecil
Di langit yang tinggi
Amat banyak
Menghias angkasa
Aku ingin
Terbang dan menari
Jauh tinggi
Di tempat kau berada.

***

Little stars
In the sky high above
So many of you
Decorating the sky
I want to
Fly and dance
Far, far away
To where you are.
Matahari terbenam hari mulai malam
Terdengar burung hantu suaranya merdu
Hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
Hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu.

***

The sun is setting, it is getting late,
Owl sound can be heard, it is melodious...
Hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu
Hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu.
   
The cockatoo
Sits on the window sill
My grandmother is already old
And she only has two teeth!!!

Tredung, tredung, tredung tra la la
Tredung, tredung, tredung tra la la
Tredung, tredung, tredung tra la la
Tredung, tredung, tredung tra la la
The cockatoo

She only has two teeth left
Grandma is already old
She sits on the window sill
Like the cockatoo!

Tredung, tredung, tredung tra la la
Tredung, tredung, tredung tra la la
Tredung, tredung, tredung tra la la
Tredung, tredung, tredung tra la la
The cockatoo.
Cicak, cicak di dinding
diam-diam merayap,
datang seekor nyamuk
hap.....lalu ditangkap

Lizard, lizard on the wall
Quietly walk on the wall
Here comes Mr. Mosquito
Hup......grab into his mouth… Hap!
   
Dua mata saya,
Hidung saya satu.
Dua kaki saya,
Pakai sepatu baru.

Dua telinga saya,
Yang kiri dan kanan.
Satu mulut saya,
Tidak berhenti makan!

***

I have two eyes,
I have one nose.
I have two feet,
To wear new shoes.
I have two ears,
A left one and a right.
I have one mouth,
That never stops eating!
Hallo hallo Bandung
Ibukota Periangan
Hallo hallo Bandung
Kota kenang-kenangan
Sudah lama beta
Tidak berjumpa dengan kau
Sekarang telah menjadi lautan api
Mari bung rebut kembali.

Hallo hallo Bandung
Capital city of Priangan
Hallo hallo Bandung
City of many memories
It's been so long
Since I met you
Now burning like a sea of fire
Let's go take Bandung back.
   
Nina bobok, Nina bobok.
Kalau tidak bobok digigit nyamuk.
Mari, nona, Nina puas saya.
Kalau tidak bobok digigit nyamuk.

Nina, sleep, Nina, sleep.
If you don't sleep you will be stuck by a mosquito.
Come, lady*, Nina make me content.
If you don't sleep you will be stuck by a mosquito.
Pok Ame Ame
Belalang kupu-kupu
Siang makan nasi
Kalau malam minum susu

Let's clap, clap your hands
Grasshopper and butterfly
Eat rice for your lunch meal
And drink your milk at night
