Sayang - Mia Palencia

SAYANG

Jangan marah, sayang
Jangan hampa
Jangan sedih, sayang
Jangan berduka

Kita bebas berlari ke hujung dunia
Tanganku sedia menunggu masa

Dunia ini, sayang
Penuh cabaran
Hati orang, sayang
Pandai berdendam

Kita bebas berterbang ke hujung angkasa
Bulan bintang menunggu kedatangan kita

Ayuh sayang
Ayuh sayang
Mari kejar kebenaran.

Cinta ini, sayang
Bukan biasa
Mulut ini, sayang
Takkan berdusta

Kita bebas berenang ke hujung lautan
Ombak-ombak tak kenal makna kekejaman

Ayuh sayang
Ayuh sayang
Mari kejar kebenaran

Berlari, berlari bersama
Menyanyi, menari bersama

Cinta ini, sayang
Bukan biasa
Ayuh sayang,
Demi cinta.


(Note from Mia: I have tried my best to capture and conserve the essence of this song in the English translation of it. The word 'sayang' is a Malay term of affection, which generally means 'darling' or 'my love'. It can also mean 'love' in general. In this case, I feel that 'my love' applies best to this song.)


Don't be angry, sayang
Don't be discouraged
Don't be sad, sayang
Don't grieve

We are free to run to the ends of the Earth
My hand is ready and waiting for that time

This world, sayang
is full of challenges
People's hearts, sayang
can be spiteful

We are free to fly to the ends of the universe
The moon and the stars are waiting for us to come

Come, sayang
Come, sayang
Let's search for Truth.

This love, sayang
is extraordinary
This mouth, sayang
will not lie

We are free to swim to the ends of the seas
Waves do not know the meaning of cruelty

Come, sayang
Come, sayang
Let's search for Truth

Running, running together
Dancing, singing together.

This love, sayang
is extraordinary
Come, sayang
for Love.
