Here is an Indonesian earworm for your enjoyment

 

 

Here's an Indonesian earworm that grows on you - well, it grew on me - and you don't even need the translation to enjoy it; in fact, it sounds even better if you only guess the translation as few things sound better in another language.

 

Kekasihku, apa yang kau risaukan?
Kerjamu hanya melamun saja
Tak berguna kau bersedih hati
Tertawalah, sayang

Buat apa susah? Buat apa susah?
Lebih baik kita bergembira
Buat apa susah? Buat apa susah?
Lebih baik kita bergembira

Kekasihku, apa yang kau pikirkan?
Hidup ini hanya sementara
Tak berguna kau bersedih hati
Tertawalah, sayang

Buat apa susah? Buat apa susah?
Lebih baik kita bergembira
Buat apa susah? Buat apa susah?
Lebih baik kita bergembira

Buat apa susah? Buat apa susah?
Lebih baik kita bergembira
Buat apa susah? Buat apa susah?
Lebih baik kita bergembira
Buat apa susah? Buat apa?

 

... which, ever so loosely translated, means ...

 

My love, what are you worried about?
Your work is just daydreaming
It's useless for you to be sad
Laugh, darling

What's the point of being sad?
What's the point of making it difficult?
It's better for us to be happy
What's the point of being difficult?
What's the point of being difficult?
It's better for us to be happy.

My love, what are you thinking?
Life is just temporary
It's useless to be sad
Laugh, dear

What's the point of being sad?
What's the point of making it hard?
It's better for us to be happy
Why make it hard?
What's the point of being difficult?
It's better for us to be happy.

What's the point of making it hard?
What's the point of making it hard?
It's better for us to be happy
Why make it hard?
What's the point of being difficult?
It's better for us to be happy
Why make things difficult? What's the point?
