Kartini Tanak Koupusanku Lyrics Meanings
by Tawith Sungkit

Kartini ku tanak koupusan ku
Numbai do nodi do mudong
Soira nopo kagayo ko koimbagu
Sorohon no yapa om ina nu

Koilo ko nangku do sinusa dahai
A momurimon songkuro oh hinuyan
Sukod no oi Kartini tanak ku
Om monulung ko dahai do tohuri

Songira nopo do kagayo ko
Posikulon kui ika
Aiso moti oh potungkusan ku
Sikul moti oh dapu nu

Soira nopo ahku hino somonu
Sorohon no ngawi ei boros ku
kada lihuai om kada tagako
Oi Kartini ku tanak koupusanku

My Darling Daughter Kartini

My dear daughter Kartini
You're able stand up on your own now
Whenever you become an adult
Always remember me and your mother

If you knew our trials and tribulations
All the tiredness and difficulty we ignored
Grow gracefully my daughter Kartini
So you can help us later in the future

Whenever you are grown
I will send you to school
I don't have anything for you to inherit
Just concentrate on your education

Whenever I'm not here anymore
Please remember all of my guidance
Don't forget and don't ignore them
Oh my dear daughter Kartini
