Me Mata La Pena
Ramón Orlando Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tiada pernah kita berjumpa
Engkau pergi entah kemana
Duhai kawan ku nan setia
Ku Teringat masa nan lalu
Masa kita berada dirantau
Irama senandung anak dara
Malam bulan purnama
Tiada hati dirundung duka
Kita bersenda gurau di pantai
Riang-riang gembira...
Dengan cahaya sinaran rembulan
Itu semua pengalaman
Namun kini hilang lenyap sudah
Kenangan masa hidup bersama
Dikau pergi jauh di mata
Jangan lupa kabar berita

Bertahun-tahun sudah lama
It has been many years
Tiada pernah kita berjumpa
We have never met
Engkau pergi entah kemana
You went away, I don't know where
Duhai kawan ku nan setia
Oh, my loyal friend
Ku Teringat masa nan lalu
I remember the past
Masa kita berada dirantau
When we were living abroad
Irama senandung anak dara
The melody of a young girl's song
Itu nyanyian kita berdua
That was our song
Malam bulan purnama
Full moon night
Tiada hati dirundung duka
No sorrow in our hearts
Kita bersenda gurau di pantai
We joked around on the beach
Riang-riang gembira...
Full of joy...
Dengan cahaya sinaran rembulan
With the light of the moon shining down
Itu semua pengalaman
Those were all memories
Namun kini hilang lenyap sudah
But now they are gone, disappeared
Kenangan masa hidup bersama
Memories of our life together
Dikau pergi jauh di mata
You went far away
Jangan lupa kabar berita
Don't forget to keep in touch
