AYAH (DAD) by Aishah, a female Malay Pop singer in 80’s
(narrative)
ayah... belum pun ada satu hari yang berlalu tanpa ku mengenang...
Dad... there was never a day that i wasn’t thinking...
terkilan hati ini menerima hakikat...
it was hard for my heart to accept this...
kau tak kesempatan menyaksikan hasil perjuanganku...
that you didn’t have a chance to see the results of my struggle today...
Percayalah ayah... selagi hidup ini...
trust me, dad... as long as I live...
nasib ibu tidak akan dipersiakan
mom’s fate will not be in vane
kami rindu ayah
we miss you, dad
(song) verse 1
sering ku tanya... mana tujuan namun hampa jawapannya
I always ask.. where am I heading to... but there was no answer
begitu pun masa tiada menginzinkan
it was the same that the time did not permit
perginya tinggalkan semua
as he left, we were left
pejuangan diperjuangkan... demi tuhan dia rela
He fought the fight... to God he was willing
menghitung hari hari... mengenangkan kembali perginya bertemu ilahi bilakah pasti
Everyday I count... remember that he left to meet the Lord
Chorus:
ayah... demi tuhan ku bersyukur...petunjuknya... menyedarkan kita...
dad... to God I give thanks... for he had shown us and enlightened us
meskipun dosa .. tiap hari kupinta agar bersih semuaya...
though there are sins.. I pray everyday that all will be cleansed
penderitaan... dan perjuangan...jasamu... tetap ku kenang
pain... and struggle... your goodness... still I remember
Verse 2:
suatu yang sedih bergumpal di hati... tiada mampu kuberi......
Something sad clotted in my heart .. I couldn’t give...
hanya doa terukir setulusnya murni
only graven prayers that is sincerely pure
ku pinta padamu ilahi setiap hari
I pray to you Lord every day
Chorus:
ayah... demi tuhan ku bersyukur...petunjuknya... menyedarkan kita...
dad... to God I give thanks... for he had shown us and enlightened us
meskipun dosa .. tiap hari kupinta agar bersih semuaya...
though there are sins.. I pray everyday that all will be cleansed
penderitaan... dan perjuangan...jasamu... tetap ku kenang
pain... and struggle... your goodness... still I remember
