Kaza Nunteng Porta (Draft)

 

Kalau roboh Kota Melaka

Papan di Jawa hamba dirikan

Kalau sungguh bagai dikata

Badan dan nyawa hamba serahkan

​

​If the city of Melaka has fallen

In Java shall I make my place

If I am true to the words I have spoken

Life and limb I shall give with grace

​

Se a cidade de Melaka cair

Vou me pousar então em Java

Se eu for leal às palavras ditas por mim

Oferecerei a minha vida toda com graça

​

​English version of the traditional Malay pantun by Niranjan Rajah.
