Lagu anak-anak "Sayonara" (The children's song "Sayonara")

Lagu "Sayonara" itu lagu anak-anak Indonesia yang biasanya dinyanyikan selama anaknya di SD (sekolah dasar) atau taman kanak-kanak. Menarik sekali karena ada tiga buah bahasa yang dipakai di dalam lagu ini: pasti ada bahasa indonesia, tetapi apalagi ada bahasa Inggris dan Jepang. Pasti bahasa Jepang itu hanya dilambangkan oleh sebuah kata "Sayonara" saja, tapi masih harus diakui tidak ada lagu anak-anak lain sedunia itu yang memakai sebanyak bahasa begitu sama sekali, ya?

The song "Sayonara" is an Indonesian children's song that is usually sung when children are in elementary school or kindergarten. It's very interesting because there are three languages that are used in this song: of course Indonesian, but also English and Japanese. Granted, Japanese is represented only by the word "Sayonara", but one still must admit that there isn't another children's song in the world that uses as many languages at the same time, right?

Sayonara, sayonara
Sampai berjumpa pulang
Sayonara, sayonara
Until we meet again, we're going home


Buat apa susah, buat apa susah
Susah itu tak ada gunanya
What's so difficult about it, what's so difficult about it?
There's no use for difficulty

"Ingat-ingat" itu Remember
"Jangan lupa" itu Don't forget
"Saya suka" itu I like you
"Hanya engkau" Only you



Selamat menyanyi!
Happy singing!
