Alusi au

folk song / traditional

Lyrics - Batak Simalungun

(Folk song from Indonesia)

Alusi au, alusi au

Maragam-ragam do anggo sitta-sitta di hita manisia
Marasing-asing do anggo pangidoan diganup-ganup jolma
Hamoraon hagabeon hasangapon ido dilului nadeba
Di nadeba asalma tarbarita goarna tahe

Anggo diau tung asing do sitta-sitta asing pangidoanku
Mansai ambal pe unang pola manginsak hamu tahe diau
Sasudena na hugoari indada i saut di au
Sitta-sitta diau tung asing situtu do tahe

Tung holong ni roham i sambing do na huparsitta-sitta
Tung denggan ni basam-basami do na hupaima-ima
Asi ni rohamma ito unang loas au maila
Beha roham dok ma hatam alusi au

Alusi au, alusi au

English Translation - Answer me

Answer me, answer me

We humans have different desires
Everyone’s needs are different
Some people seek wealth and honor
In some cases, as long as his name is famous

I have different desires and different requests
Even if it’s too late, don’t bother me
Everything I said didn’t happen to me
My dreams are so different

Your love is all I want
I’m waiting for your kind words
Please don’t let me be ashamed
What do you think, say your words and answer me
