DLS : Dusun Song

Its Dusun Language Saturday (DLS) again. Every week on Saturday, I will share one situation and translate them to Dusun language. Today I will try to translate a Dusun song. Why do I am sharing my ethnic language? I am not very good in my language because we don't speak any Dusun at home. Most of the time, we speak Malay. Sharing my language, hopefully will help me improve my Dusun vocabulary. My parents and friends will be my references. There is no dictionary for Dusun language yet. Sorry for not posting any DLS for the past few weeks.

So the song that I want to share with you today called  'Nokosuai Ginawo ku' means 'change of heart' by Felix Agus. I think most of Sabahan know this song.

Dusun   : Nung id maso masod toruhai diti

Malay   : Kalau dalam masa terdekat ini

English  : If in the near future

Dusun   : Koboros okud tumongkiad dika

Malay   : Aku mengucapkan tentang berpisah denganmu

English  : I said my goodbye to you

Dusun   : Kada no koruol oh ginawo nu

Malay   : Jangan lah kiranya kau sakit hati (terluka)

English  : Hope you won't get hurt

Dusun   : Tuh iti noh ralan pilion ku

Malay   : Sebab ini lah jalan yang ku pilih

English  : Because this is the way that I want it to be

Dusun   : Id pomusarahan ku nopo daa

Malay   : Dalam fikiran ku

English  : On my mind

Dusun   : Au oku noh sipogihum doh suai

Malay   : Aku tak mahu mencari yang lain lagi

English  : I didn't mean to look for another one

Dusun   : Nga au ku nokoilo ti ginawo ku

Malay   : Tapi aku tak tahu hati ku ini

English  : But I don't know why my heart

Dusun   : Tu suminimban ie di pama

Malay   : Akhirnya berubah pula

English  : Finally changed

Dusun   : Nokotongkiad oku dika toruhai

Malay   : Aku berjauhan dengan mu buat seketika

English  : Been apart for a while with you

 

Dusun   : Iri no nokosuai ginawo ku

Malay   : Sebab itu lah hatiku berubah

English  : That's when my heart changed

Dusun   : Otopot noh kanto o boros doh tulun

Malay   : Mungkin benarlah kata orang

English  : Probably there's a truth about what people used to say

Dusun   : Sodu id mato, sodu nogi id ginawo

Malay   : Jauh di mata, jauh juga di hati

English  : Far from sight, much afar from the heart

Dusun   : Uludon ku ohopod tunturu ku

Malay   : Ku menyusun sepuluh jari ku

English  : I arrange my 10 fingers

Dusun   : Mokiampun oku'd kumaa dika

Malay   : Meminta maaf kepada mu

English  : Asking for forgiveness

Dusun   : Mimang yoku noh matu ie nakasala

Malay   : Mungkin memang aku yang bersalah

English  : Perhaps it is all my fault

Dusun   : Apatut nod katagadan nu

Malay   : Memang patut untuk kau marah

English  : Cannot blame you for getting mad 

Wow, so hard for me to translate this song, have to think carefully so the meaning of the song will still the same with the dusun version. Anyway, enjoy the song everyone. If there are any mistakes with the translation, do not hesitate to tell me, do not worry, I won't bite, hehehe.

Chayo-chayo....
