Lie broken in the garden
A terraccota pot of elements
Like the many world problems
Incessant waves of disagreements
A terracota pot of elements
Made whole with glue and sand
Incessant waves of disagreements
You and I can put to an end
Made whole with glue and sand
Beautiful and useful once again
You and I can put to an end
If we put together our hearts, our hands
Do not let all turn to grainy sand...
Tempayan pecah
Tempayan pecah di legar taman
Di tengah panas, di siram hujan
Ancaman dunia, wahai teman
Bertambah kancah, bertambah bentan
Di tengah panas, disiram hujan
Sudah bersepai zaman berzaman
Bertambah kancah, bertambah bentan
Hingga di belai jiwa budiman
Sudah bersepai zaman berzaman
Marilah tampal dan betulkan
Biar dibelai jiwa budiman
Sebelum terlambat, jangan biarkan
Retak seribu jangan biarkan...
Un pot de terre
Fait tout avec du sable et de la colle
Un pot de terre cuite beau à nouveau
Nous pouvons arrêter tous les problèmes
Si nous mettons tout notre cœur, nos mains
Ne le laissez pas trop tard, mon cher
Regardez et voyez la vérité

"Do not let all turn to grainy sand..." Such a truthful line that sounds good in many ways. With hearts and hands together stand :)
ReplyDeleteEach week I have such a wonderful experience with your poems. What is the second language I can't read? The English is always lush yet important, but each time the French seems best and most vivid. Love "Ne le laissez pas trop tard, mon cher
ReplyDeleteRegardez et voyez la vérité" Look at that and see the truth. WOW. Really good. Thanks, Gay @beachanny
