Marionette's Mute Musings V2

If you’ve watched this;

Ciubalak – Watching Airplane by the beach

Then you’ve most likely noticed that I’ve posted this in Facebook. This is dedicated to Peter, and others who have asked me for a translation. I’ve kept the spirit of translation as near as possible, but I’m still not sure about whether the humour will kick in or not. (most probably not)

Alone in Tanjung Aru,
I see many couples dating,
A coconut, two straws,
If that isn’t enough there are pickles all over,
Until one day you came and told me
You’re migrating over to england
finally you have the chance to play with snow, you say,
and you can watch the full moon in a foreign land,
Actually I’ve got so many things that I wanted to tell you,
I kept it in heart and I never got the guts to tell you,
20 years since passed, and I’ve never got the chance to tell you
Rolling in my bed, rolling, rolling,
Only in dreams, only in them I could utter these words,

[chorus]
I really liked you so,
can you not leave for England?
I really liked you so,
can you………. not follow that xxxxxxxxx? (jackass)

Let’s say you really want to take an airplane ride,
I’ll bring you to places nearby instead,
Even in the newspapers, budget tickets are everywhere,
Two airlines versus till the end of time,
Penang, Johor, Kuala Lumpur
Just say it, I’ll go online immediately,
If you really want it, better make up your mind fast,
When the tickets are completely booked, I’ll be in deep (financial) trouble,

Actually I’ve got so many things that I wanted to tell you,
Api (Kota Kinabalu) is really a nice place to live in,
Everyone, including foreigners come and visit,
Climbing San Shan (Mount Kinabalu), going to the islands,
Even the ’3rd Beach’ to moonbath!

[chorus]
I really liked you so,
can you not leave for England?
I really liked you so,
When I sleep I think of you always,
I honestly really liked you so,
You won’t find ” Api San Nyuk Mee” (special pork noodles) in England!
I really liked you so,
My point is, don’t leave Api (Kota Kinabalu)

Because, when I lose my heart, (heartbroken)
I will die.

Alone, by the sea
I saw the airplane fly away,
Alone, by the sea
I saw the plane flying further and further away

[end]

Thank you!
