BAPA AING (KDM)

By Kang Aceng Tea

The salendro gamelan goes on
Rhythmic flutes and curls
awaken the people of the Sundanese Tatars
Bapa Aing away
open the horizon of Pasundan.

He was born to an ordinary family
be plainly dressed
speak in the language of the people
as it is
He greets love and taste
to build a civilization of the land
to make a balance between
man and nature
which is the harmonization of life.

Every step of his ̈ he always gets
obstacles, obstacles and tests
not a few people disappointed
Not a few are disturbed
But he was firm with faith
life must be built
with a new civilization
regain one’s balance
between man and nature
push back and forth
embroider the embrace of love
between the government and its people.

One by one he faced
with a smile and
make a direct solution
He kept going
stop the orchestra of life
be full of engineering
change one’s country’s policy
afflict the people.

The salendro gamelan goes on
Rhythmic flutes and curls
awaken the people of the Sundanese Tatars
Bapa Aing away
open the horizon of Pasundan.
