Indonesian Version
Ibu dan Bapak tersayang,
Aku di sini baik-baik
Aku tinggal di rumah sudah beberapa minggu
Jangan khawatir…
Aku belajar keterampilan baru
Membaca buku lebih banyak
Memasak makanan yang Ibu dan aku diskusikan
Memotong sendiri rambut aku (salonnya tutup)
Menonton serial televisi lebih banyak
Menonton ulang yang paling aku suka
Gedung apartemenku sebenarnya mempunyai taman kecil yang indah untuk menikmati sinar matahari
Aku ingin bisa berada di sana setiap hari
Tapi aku melihat ada pasangan manula duduk di situ
Mereka lebih membutuhkan tempat itu dibandingkan aku
Aku masih dapat tinggal di dalam lebih lama
Jangan khawatir
Melihat mereka tetap sehat dari jendelaku
Membuatku bersyukur
Mengingatkan aku ke kalian berdua
Sambil aku mendoakan supaya ibu bapak sehat selalu di sana
Aku sudahi dulu ya
Piring-piring kotor telah memanggilku
Jangan khawatir…
Anakmu
English Version (2:10)
Dear mom and dad,
I’m okay here …
I’ve stayed home for weeks
No worries…
I’ve learned a new skill
Read more books
Cooked the meal that mom and I discussed
Chopped my own hair (the salon is closed)
Watched more series and
repeated my favorites
The apartment building actually has a nice courtyard to catch the sun
I’d love to be there everyday
But I see an eldery couple sitting there
They need the space more than I do
I can stay longer inside
No worries…
Seeing them staying healthy from my window
makes me grateful
Reminds me of you both
As I pray that you are always well back home…
I gotta go for now,
the dirty dishes are calling me…
No worries …
Your kid…
Vocabularies
Manula: elderly
Sudahi: end it
