Burung Pungguk
Datuk Sharifah Aini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rupamu buruk tak siapa yang mahu
Bila malam telah tiba
Di langit bulan bercahaya
Kau berbunyi berhiba hiba
Merindukan bulan purnama
Sungguh suaramu menawan hati
Bagaikan bintang dikasihi
Tetapi wahai pungguk
Kau tak diacuhkan
Walaupun kau merajuk meratapi diri
Bulan hanya bagai mengatakan
Oh oh oh kasihan
Ha malangnya nasibmu
Wahai burung pungguk
Tidak seperti burung nuri
Di dalam sangkar
Dikasihi lelaki dan perempuan
Untuk menghibur hati yang rawan
Dikasihi lelaki dan perempuan
Untuk menghibur hati yang rawan
Oh burung pungguk malang nasibmu
Rupamu buruk tak ada yang mahu
The song "Burung Pungguk" by Datuk Sharifah Aini is a lament about the fate of a pungguk bird, whose appearance and voice are unappealing to most people. The bird is presented as a creature that longs for something that it cannot have: the full moon. The song sets up a contrast between the bird's beauty of voice and the ugliness of its appearance that is not noticed by humans who do not give it a chance.
The song's lyrics are about the struggle of the pungguk bird that cannot be loved or appreciated because of its unappealing appearance, which is contrary to the beautiful sound that it produces. The bird's voice is exceptionally lovely, but no one cares to notice because of the way it looks. The metaphor of the bird and the moon is a beautiful illustration of how something so beautiful and valuable can be looked down upon and undervalued.
In general, the song can be interpreted as a beautiful expression of the underdog story, where the character is looked down upon by society even though they possess qualities that would be regarded as treasures if given a chance. The song expresses the need for people to look beyond the exterior and see that there is beauty in every creature and person.

Oh burung pungguk malang nasibmu
Oh unfortunate owl, your fate is dire
Rupamu buruk tak siapa yang mahu
Your appearance is unappealing and undesirable
Bila malam telah tiba
When night has fallen
Di langit bulan bercahaya
The moon shines in the sky
Kau berbunyi berhiba hiba
You make a sorrowful sound
Merindukan bulan purnama
Longing for the full moon
Sungguh suaramu menawan hati
Truly, your voice is captivating
Kedengaran di pohon kayu
Heard in the wooden tree
Bagaikan bintang dikasihi
Like a dearly loved star
Tetapi wahai pungguk
But, oh owl
Kau tak diacuhkan
You are not attended to
Walaupun kau merajuk meratapi diri
Even though you sulk and lament
Bulan hanya bagai mengatakan
The moon simply says
Oh oh oh kasihan
Oh, oh, oh, what a pity
Ha malangnya nasibmu
Alas, your fate is unfortunate
Wahai burung pungguk
Oh, owl
Tidak seperti burung nuri
Not like the parrot
Di dalam sangkar
In a cage
Dikasihi lelaki dan perempuan
Loved by both men and women
Untuk menghibur hati yang rawan
To comfort vulnerable hearts
Oh burung pungguk malang nasibmu
Oh unfortunate owl, your fate is dire
Rupamu buruk tak ada yang mahu
Your appearance is unappealing and undesirable

Oh burung pungguk
Malang nasibmu
Rupamu buruk
Tak siapa yg mahu
Bila malam telah tiba
Dilangit bulan bercahaya
Kau berbunyi berhiba2 merindukan bulan purnama
Sungguh suaramu
Menawan hati kedengaran di pohon kayu
Bagaikan bintang di kasihi
Tetapi wahai pungguk
Kau tak diacungkan
Walaupun kau merajuk meratapi diri
Bulan hanya bagai mengatakan
Ohhhhh kasihan
Haaa haaa haa haaa haaa haaa
Malangnya nasibmu wahai buung pungguk
Tidak sepertii burung nuri di dlm sangkar
Dikasihi lelaki dan ppuan utk menghibur hati yg rawan 2x
Oh burung pungguk
Malang nasibmu
Rupamu buruk
Tak ada yg mahu
