AKRAB KOTA LAGOS II, NIGERIA
Antologi Puisi Dua Bahasa Nyanyian Ombak Karya MS.Ucok Tambunan (11)
Anevowoshe street
tenang sambutku dendang keroncong
gamelan bertaut nyaring
suara lantang Ki Narto Sabdo
penuhi ruang tamu
lewati bibirmu
tawari ku makan gado-dado
obat rindu kampung halaman
akrab
Formulir sensus
kau berikan
bagi alamatku samudera
tuk suara tanah air
bolehkah daku bagaikan mereka
mengatas nilai
tuk duduki gedung mereka
hormat
Tak sia-sia langkahku jauh
bertahun lintas benua
walau bagimu selangkah
ajakku kibarkan sang saka
pada daratan Afrika Barat
hening cipta
bersatu
FIENDLY WITH LAGOS CITY II, NIGERIA
Anevowoshe street
calmly welcomed me with keroncong music
Gamelan played harmoniously
loud vocal of Ki Narto Sabdo
filled the guest room
Offering meto eat gado-dado
to cure my homesick
So friendly
Form of sensus
you gave
my address is oceans
to sound of hometown
could I be as them
bringing values
to invade their building
In respect
I did not travel far for a waste
years of across continents
it might be a step for you,though
I asked to set up my national flag
At the land of West Africa
Solemnity
United
