Translation of the song Nak Dara Rindu artist P. Ramlee

Di waktu malam bulan mengambang

In the night of the floating moon

Sunyi damai damai sekeliling ku

Tranquil silence all around me

Terdengar nan sayu bintang seribu

I hear the distant, wistful sound of a thousand stars

Membujuk rayu karna merindu

Pleading because they miss

Lagu yang dulu

The old song they used to know

Di waktu malam bulan purnama

In the night of the full moon

Angin laut meniup-niup tenang

The sea breeze blows peacefully

Menyatakan sayang berlagu merdu

Speaking love, singing sweetly

Bermadah ayu lemah mendayu

Warbling beautifully, gently crooning

Nak dara rindu

Maiden, I long for you

Tanjung Katung airnya biru

Cape Katung, its water is blue

Tempat mandi nak dara jelita

The bathing place of beautiful maidens

Sama sekampung sedangkan dirindu

Even when we are in the same village, I miss them

Ini kan lagi hai jauh di mata

What more when they are far from sight

Tanjung Katung airnya biru

Cape Katung, its water is blue

Tempat mandi nak dara jelita

The bathing place of beautiful maidens

Sama sekampung hai sedang dirindu

Even when we are in the same village, I miss them

Ini kan lagi hai jauh di mata

What more when they are far from sight
