Ibu Ibu Ibu Meaning & Lyrics (Pidi Baiq)
Pidi Baiq sings about your voice asking her well-being from distant places. She describes a fetus spared as proof of your protective love. The line ‘You kept me alive in the womb’ stands out as a physical testament to maternal safety.
KauYou,
Mengajari Aku MengucapkanYou taught me how to speak,
Kata Kata BaruNew words.
KauYou.
Menghendaki Aku MengucapkanYou want me to speak,
Kata Kata BagusBeautiful words.
KauYou,
Adalah Yang Tidak MembunuhkuAre the one who didn’t take my life,
Selagi Masih JaninWhile I was still a fetus.
KauYou,
Adalah Yang Tidak MengutukkuAre the one who didn’t curse me,
Hingga Menjadi BatuUntil I turned into stone ‘like the old myth’.
KauYou,
Tanyakan KabarkuAsk how I’m doing,
Disaat Aku Tinggal JauhWhen I’m living far away.
KauYou,
Adalah Yang BimbangAre the one who’s anxious,
Tanya Dengan Siapa Aku PergiAsking who I’m going out with.
KauYou,
Adalah Yang RisauAre the one who’s worried,
Mengapa Aku Belum PulangAbout why I haven’t come home yet.
KauYou,
Adalah Yang MaluAre the one who feels ashamed,
Disaat Aku Berbuat MemalukanWhen I do something shameful.
KauYou,
Adalah Yang Bilang Dengan BanggaAre the one who says with pride,
Bahwa Aku AnakmuThat I’m your child.
KauYou,
Sebut Nama AkuMention my name,
Pada Tiap Ucap DoamuIn every one of your prayers.
KauYou,
Jauh Lebih TinggiAre much higher,
Daripada Aneka Macam SorgaThan any kind of heaven.
KauYou,
Adalah Dirimu Dengan GetarAre yourself, and with a tremble,
Ku Panggil Engkau IbuI call you Mother.
