:: Practice 5 – Translating


I’m learning Cham Language, but I dun have any syllabus. Except for the grammar, I do the rest myself. But thank Allah because he sent me a companion. I do learn a lot from him, the Whiteman call it “an angle”. I go after his path, and abit “copying” his style...hihi.. He likes to play with musics, translating other languages into Cham. So now I’m trying to play that kind of game..hmm, pretty fun! Maybe this post seemed to be “rubbish” but this is one of the way to comprehend the nearly extinct language okay.


Below is an Indonesian song sang by Ria Resti Fauzi. She was also famous in Malaysia too.

~ Anit Ranem Kau Tel Ethiopia ~


Mâyah biak hâ ranem kau

Ngan mâyah hâ biak anit...

Puec baik..so satiak hâ..

Mâyah hâ biak biak kieng

Taong abih drep kau tok hâ

Suan ngan yawa kau..taong abih tok hâ..

Mâyah drei hu daok taongdua

Kau jang buy sambai

Pak halei hâ nao kau si tuei hâ

Biai o gac nao tel hajung dunya..

Juai biai Cek Fujiyama

Tel Cek Himalaya kau tuei hâ

Juai biai nao Palei Kur

Tel Ethiopia kau tuei hâ

Mâyah biak hâ khap kau

Tel ut baoh haluk kau si tuei

Juai..juai..juai baik hâ oh jier..
