Kopi Susu

folk song / traditional

Lyrics

(Folk song from Malaysia)

Kopi susu kurang manis tambah gula
Badan lesu kerana hati tergoda
Satu dua tiga empat kucing berlari
Tidak sama kucing belang larinya kencang
Puas dah ku cari di sana di sini
Tidak seperti abang seorang

Kopi susu dicampur gula
Melaka Kerna nafsu badan menjadi merana
Memang tepat gunung daik bercabang tiga
Letaknya pun di balik Pulau Angsa Dua
Oi hancurlah badan dikandunglah tanah
Budi baik dikenang jua

Kopi susu kurang manis tambah gula
Badan lesu kerana hati tergoda
Dari Rengat pergi belayar ke Mekah
Singgah dulu di Jeddah membeli jubbah
Tak usah diingat masa yang dah sudah
Hilang lenyap tak berkisah

English Translation - Coffee With Milk

Coffee with less sweetness and added sugar
Body is tired because the heart is tempted
One two three four cats are running
Not the same as striped cats running fast*
I’ve been satisfied looking here and there
Not like a brother

Coffee with milk mixed with sugar
Melaca Because the body’s lust becomes miserable
It’s right on the mountain of the three-branched dike
It’s also located behind Pulau Angsa Dua
Oi, the body is destroyed, the soil is contained
Good thoughts are remembered

Coffee with milk is not sweet enough, add sugar
The body is tired because the heart is tempted
From Rengat, go sailing to Mecca
Stop by Jeddah to buy a robe
No need to remember the time that has passed
Disappeared, no story

*Indirect meaning: please don’t run away from me (source) This song gives advice to young people in love.
