Misha Omar - Bunga Bunga Cinta

Here's to another old Malay song!

I've been in love with this songs since I was still in pre-school and it is still a go-to song for me~
It is a song about a broken love, from being the everything to being left stranded with a broken heart. The lyrics use a lot of metaphors and nature as a symbolic gesture of love, hence some of the translation might not make sense.
Feel free to comment for anything though!

Now, let's get on with it!

Bunga Bunga Cinta - Flowers of Love


Malay to English


Dikalaku kesepian
Dihanyut ombak nan resah
Kau mengubati kerinduan

When I'm lonely
Washed by the waves of anxiety
You cured my yearning

Dikalaku keresahan
Dihanyut malam nan gelap
Kau menerangi hidupku

When I was anxious
Washed out by the dark night
You lighten up my life

(1)
Kini segalanya telah berubah
Cintamu hanya memori indah
Ku ditinggalkan kesepian
Pilu hatiku

Now everything has changed
Your love was a distant memory
I was left alone
How my heart ache

(2)
Kembalilah kepadaku
Selamilah jiwa ini yang terluka
Ikatan kita berdua

Please come back
Thread my broken soul
Our strong bond

(3)
Sayangilah diri ini
Belailah jiwa nan sepi
Kelayuan... Dedaunan keguguran
Dahan nan kerapuhan
Bunga bunga cinta... Layu dipusara
Hmmm... Hmmm...

Please love me
Caress my lonely soul
Wilted... Fallen leaves
Brittle branches
Flowers of love... Wilted on the graves

Dikalaku kerinduan
Dihembus angin nan pilu
Kutatapi wajah dirimu

When I'm longing for you
Blown by the wind of melancholy
I gazed at your face

Dikalaku keseorangan
Di hanyut asmara cinta
Kau membelai jiwaku ini

When I'm alone
Washed by love
You caressed my heart

(repeat 1, 2, 3)

Hanya satu ku pinta oh darimu
Hargailah cinta kita oh..
Gelora menikam jiwa ini
Melanda di hati
Deraian cinta yang suci

I'm only asking you for one thing
Please appreciate our love
Torrent ripping this soul
Hurting the heart
Innocent love rippling

(repeat 3)
