Yatim Piatu
Datuk Sharifah Aini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rasa sunyi tiada berteman
Rasa hati tiada tertentu
Ditinggalkan ayah dan ibu
Malang sungguh yatim piatu
Tiada tempat untuk mengadu
Kumenangis siapa yang tahu
Kemana hendak ku pergi
Tiada tempat mengadu
Hidupku serupa mati
Tiada berdaya lagi
Tolonglah wahai insan
Berikan kubantuan
Tolonglah ku wahai insan
Berikan kubatuan
Ku tak pernah mendapat kasih
Mereka pergi kukecil lagi
Selama ini hidup sendri
Hujung kampung tempat berbakti
Kemana hendak ku pergi
Tiada tempat mengadu
Hidupku serupa mati
Tiada berdaya lagi
Tolonglah wahai insan
Berikan kubantuan
Tolonglah ku wahai insan
Berikan kubatuan
Ku tak pernah mendapat kasih
Mereka pergi kukecil lagi
Selama ini hidup sendri
Hujung kampung tempat berbakti

Waktu malam kukesedihan
I feel sadness during the night
Rasa sunyi tiada berteman
I feel lonely without companions
Rasa hati tiada tertentu
My heart feels uncertain
Ditinggalkan ayah dan ibu
Left by my father and mother
Malang sungguh yatim piatu
Oh how unfortunate it is to be an orphan
Tiada tempat untuk mengadu
There is no place to seek help
Kumenangis siapa yang tahu
I cry alone, no one knows
Hidup miskin tiada pelajaran
Living poor with no education
Kemana hendak ku pergi
Where shall I go
Tiada tempat mengadu
There is no place to seek help
Hidupku serupa mati
My life is like death
Tiada berdaya lagi
I am powerless
Tolonglah wahai insan
Please help me, oh human being
Berikan kubantuan
Give me assistance
Tolonglah ku wahai insan
Help me, oh human being
Berikan kubatuan
Give me support
Ku tak pernah mendapat kasih
I never received love
Mereka pergi kukecil lagi
They left when I was still small
Selama ini hidup sendri
I have been living alone all this time
Hujung kampung tempat berbakti
The edge of the village where I serve
