A song, I am wonder

Perahu Retak -- Cracked Boat
Artist : Franky Sahilatua
Creator : Emha Ainun Nadjib

Perahu negeriku, perahu bangsaku, menyusuri gelombang.
My country's boat, my nation's boat, traverses the wave.
Semangat rakyatku, kibar benderaku, menyeruak lautan.
My citizen's spirit, flying my flag, pushing the sea.

Langit membentang cakrawala di depan, melambaikan tantangan.
The sky stretches the firmament ahead, waving the challenge.

Di atas tanahku, dari dalam airku, tumbuh kebahagiaan.
On my land, from within my water, happiness arise.
Di sawah kampungku, di jalan kotaku, terbit kesejahteraan.
In paddy-fields of my village, in the streets of my city, welfare arise.

Tapi kuheran di tengah perjalanan, muncullah ketimpangan.
But I'm wonder in the middle of the journey, discrepancy appear.

Aku heran, aku heran, yang salah dipertahankan.
I'm wonder, I'm wonder, which is wrong was maintained.
Aku heran, aku heran, yang benar disingkirkan.
I'm wonder, I'm wonder, which is true was marginalized.

Perahu negeriku, perahu bangsaku, jangan retak dindingmu.
My country's boat, my nation's boat, don't crack of your wall.
Semangat rakyatku, derap kaki tekadmu, jangan terantuk batu.
My people's spirit, footsteps of your willpower, don't stumble the stone.

Tanah pertiwi anugerah ilahi, jangan ambil sendiri.
Motherland was the Divine grace, don't take it alone.
Tanah pertiwi anugerah ilahi, jangan makan sendiri.
Motherland was the Divine grace, don't eat it alone.

Aku heran, aku heran, satu kenyang, seribu kelaparan.
I'm wonder, I'm wonder, one is full, a thousand starved.
Aku heran, aku heran, keserakahan diagungkan.
I'm wonder, I'm wonder, the greed was glorified.
