Malay "Earth song"

Here's a song that a friend of mine shared on his blog:



Here are the lyrics from his post, with his translation below. I just modified his translation slightly to more suit my taste :P (thanks David!)

Lyrics:

Bumi yang tiada rimba
Seumpama hamba
Dia dicemar manusia
Yang jahil ketawa

Bumi yang tiada udara
Bagai tiada nyawa
Pasti hilang suatu hari
Tanpa disedari

Bumi tanpa lautan
Akan kehausan
Pasti lambat laun hilang
Duniaku yang malang

Chorus:
Dewasa ini kita saling merayakan
Kejayaan yang akhirnya membinasakan
Apalah gunanya kematangan fikiran
Bila di jiwa kita masih lagi muda
Dan mentah
Ku lihat hijau

Oh..anok-anok (Oh..anak-anak)
tokleh meghaso mandi laok (tak leh merasa mandi lauk (laut??) )
Besaing,maing ghama-ghama (bersaing, main ramai-ramai)
Ale lo ni tuo umurnyo bejuto (alah, kamu ni umurnya berjuta)
Kito usoho (kita usaha)
Jauhke dari malapetako (jauhkan daripada malapetaka)
Ozon lo ni koho nipih nak nak aghi (ozon ni nak nipis hampir nak habis)
Keno make asak (kena makan asap)
Hok biso wei,pasa maknusio (ia berbisa, pasal manusia)
Seghemo bendo-bendo di dunio (semua benda-benda di dunia)
Tokleh tehe (tak boleh tahan)
Sapa bilo-bilo (sampai bila-bila)

Bumiku yang kian pudar
Siapa yang melihat
Di kala kita tersedar
Mungkinkah terlewat

Chorus

Korupsi,opresi,obsesi diri
Polusi,depressi,di bumi,kini

-----------------------------------

Translation:

An Earth without forests,
is like a slave,
being trampled by humans,
who laugh in ignorance

An Earth without air,
is as if lifeless,
will be gone one day,
without being realized

An Earth without the sea,
will die of thirst,
will slowly but surely disappear
My pitiful planet Earth...

Chorus:
Lately we celebrate together,
our success which will later destroy,
what's the use of maturity of thought?
when inside we are still young,
and immature,
i see the green (in us?)

**in olden slang, Negeri Sembilan Kelantanese dialect:**

Oh, my children,
let's play and work together,
your age is a million (referring to earth i suppose),
We work together,
avoid causing disasters..
The ozone layer is getting thinner, going to disappear
Soon we'll have to eat smoke...
It is poisonous, because of man
everything in this world,
cannot last
forever

**end of Negeri Sembilan Kelantanese dialect**

My earth which is slowly fading,
who actually realizes it?
When we actually wake up,
will it be too late?

Chorus:

Corruption, oppression and self-obsession,
Pollution, depression on modern Earth
