MUSTI TAMLIA ONLÊ MANUS


Ho muhín mak lof ka nmuî nít fa enus
a-nbi foknais amnanut, lê ka nok ulkapi.
Nbi foknais, hit musti tamlia onlê manus
ma tmâtaen piuta he tafua onlê usapi.

KITA MESTI SUBUR SEPERTI SIRIH

Engkau tahu bahwa tak ‘kan pernah ada pelangi
di musim kemarau panjang nan tak berhujan rintik.
Di musim kemarau, kita mesti subur seperti sirih
dan tetap kuat ‘tuk berbuah laksana kesambi.

Ungaran, Jawa Tengah, 2 Maret 2023

WE MUST THRIVE LIKE BETELVINE

You know that there will never be a rainbow
in the long dry season with no drizzling rains.
In the dry season, we must thrive like betelvine
and stay strong to bear fruits like a gum-lac tree.

Ungaran Town, Central Java, 2 March 2023
