Amour nala
Tabu Ley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nuan bejanji madah enda leju
Kumbai ku nuan amat rindu
Ku terima enggau penuh siru
Tang diatu semua nyadi abu
Tajapan aku asai enggai dilengka
Tang nuan keran mai beserara
Enda nyangka nuan sulu bula
Pengerindu mekang nadai temu tunga
Nuan baka ke enda peduli
Madah sayau tang berubah ati
Umbas agi aku dikemeli
Tua sama udah mutus ati
Tajapan tua udah beserara
Nadai ku ingat dendam enggau laya
Diatu peneka nuan ngiga
Pulai ke nuan aku sigi enda
Penyayau tua tebeleka ketegal pemula

Terdampar pengerindu udah ditinggal sulu
Left alone like a ship that has been stranded
Nuan bejanji madah enda leju
You promised that you would never leave me
Kumbai ku nuan amat rindu
I am longing for you so deeply
Ku terima enggau penuh siru
I accept you with open arms
Tang diatu semua nyadi abu
But all that remains now is ash
Tajapan aku asai enggai dilengka
I thought you would never forget me
Tang nuan keran mai beserara
But you came back a changed person
Ku terima eggau ai mata
I can see it in your eyes
Enda nyangka nuan sulu bula
I never thought you would be the one to leave
Pengerindu mekang nadai temu tunga
Lovers who are separated will never meet again
Nuan baka ke enda peduli
It seems like you don't care anymore
Madah sayau tang berubah ati
You said you loved me, but your heart has changed
Umbas agi aku dikemeli
I still hold onto hope
Tua sama udah mutus ati
Even though you've moved on
Tajapan tua udah beserara
Our old promises have been broken
Nadai ku ingat dendam enggau laya
I don't hold any grudges or resentment
Diatu peneka nuan ngiga
But I wonder why you left
Pulai ke nuan aku sigi enda
I will wait for you to come back, always
Penyayau tua tebeleka ketegal pemula
Old love is like a seed that never grows
