ADA KEMATIAN
ada kematian
lewat di depan rumah
tampak dari sembilan puluh jendela
aduh cantiknya
ada kematian
jalan-jalan sore hari
esok pagi, katanya
mau main ke sini
ada kematian
berkunjung ke rumah
besok malam, janjinya
mau singgah
: ah!

THERE IS DEATH
There is death
Passing outside my door
I can see her from my ninety windows
How beautiful she is!
There is death
Strolling in the afternoon
Tomorrow morning, she said,
She will come by
There is death
Visiting my room
Tonight, she promises
She will come to me
:ah!
