Kutahu Kau Kembali Jua Anakku
“Saudara-kandungku pulang perang, tangannya merah
Kedua pundak landai tiada tulang selangka
Dia tegak goyah, pandangnya pada kami satu-satu
Aku tahu kau kembali jua anakku
Tiba-tiba dia roboh di halaman dia kami papah
Ibu pun perlahanmengusapi dahinya tegar
Tanganku amis ibu, tanganku berdarah
Aku tahu kau kembali jua anakku
Siang itu dia tergolek ibu, lekah perutnya
Aku tak membidiknya, tapi tanganku bersimbah
Tunduk terbungkuk matanya sangat papa
Kami sama rebah, kupeluk dia di tanah
Kau ketuk sendiri ambang dadamu anakku
Usapkan jemari sudah berdarah
Simpan laras bedil yang memerah
Kutahu kau kembali jua anak ku''

I Know You're Back Jua My Son
"My siblings come home from war, Red Homestay
Both shoulders have no slopes
He was unsteady, looking at us one on one
I know you back my son
Suddenly in the yard we we papah
Mother was slowly nipping her forehead tough
My hand is fishy mother, my hand is bleeding
I know you back my son
That afternoon she was licking mother, lekah belly
I did not aim at it, but my hand was covered
The bow is bent very dad
We just fell, I hugged him on the ground
Do you own father? Should father my son
Rub the fingers already bleeding
Keep the red rifle barrel
I know you back my son "
