Anak Bahari

Aku anak bahari
kulit Ku legam
rambut Ku terkadang panjang
Aku tidak ambil peduli
berenang Aku sesuka hati
kadang pagi
kadang juga petang
Aku anak bahari
untuk menarik perahu
dari laut ke darat itu mainan Ku
tiada kata tidak
Aku akan terus berbuat
Hari ini anak Bahari tidak melaut
gelombang tinggi
kata panglima laoet
jangan pergi melaut
tidak baik untuk perahu nelayan kecil
Yah...
hari ini aku makan apa
tiada nasi tiada ikan
anak bahari mengambil kail
mengorek umpan cacing
dekat sumur tua itu
Anak Bahari melenggang membawa kail
menuju aliran sungai
namanya Babah Kuala
kail dilempar
tiada tarikan
anak bahari mengorek lubang-lubang
diantara pohon bangka
kepiting meuboeh (bertelur)
dia dapatkan
anak bahari bahagia
hahaha...
tawanya lepas
aku bisa beli beras untuk makan hari ini
sambil melompat-lompat anak Bahari
melihat kail yang ditambatkan
hahaha...
tawanya kembali lepas
seekor lele jumbo memakan kailnya
Satu, dua, tiga ekor ikan lele jumbo hasil tangkapan akan ada yang dijual
dan di goreng
Anak Bahari tidak pernah bersedih
dia selalu bersyukur dengan apa
yang dia dapat
Alam menyediakan
yang terbaik untuk manusia
Anak Bahari akan selalu
menjaga alam
agar tetap lestari
Berikut adalah terjemahan puisi ke dalam bahasa Inggris:
Children of the Sea
We, the children of the sea, have dark skin
Our hair is sometimes long, we don't care
We swim as we please, morning or evening
We're the children of the sea, pulling boats from sea to shore is our game
We won't say no, we'll keep on doing
Today, the children of the sea didn't go sailing
The waves were high, the captain said, "Don't go, it's not good for small fishing boats"
What will we eat? No fish, no pulse
The children of the sea take their fishing rods, digging for worm bait near the old well
The children of the sea walk proudly, carrying their rods to the river flow, Babah Kuala
The rod is cast, but there's no bite
The children of the sea dig holes between the mangrove trees, searching for crabs, and find a pregnant crab
The children of the sea are happy, hahaha... their laughter echoes
"I can buy rice for today's meal!" they exclaim, jumping for joy
The children of the sea glance at their anchored rods, hahaha... their laughter echoes again
A giant catfish has taken the bait!
One, two, three giant catfish, their catch for the day
Some will be sold, some will be fried
The children of the sea never sorrow, they're always grateful for what they have
Nature provides the best for humanity
The children of the sea will always protect nature, keeping it sustainable.

Saya memberikan penilaian untuk puisi saya ini dengan nilai 9,9
Layak mendapatkan karena berdasarkan kisah nyata siswa saya yang hidup sendiri.
I read the translation and next had a look at the Indonesian language and it feels the translator didn't to right to what it shows but I get the picture. It is well written like always although you should try to find describe "the children of the sea" a few times in a different way to give the reader an extra stimulant to read and dream about the scenery.
Some longer sentences I would make a bit shorter.
By the way.. there are many children of the sea who are blond.
Your grade is noted!
Sahabatku @wakeupkitty. Maafkan saya dalam beberapa hari ini kurang merespon pertanyaan maupun komentar untuk kontes. adik ipar saya sakit dan saya harus membantunya. karena Ibu Mertua saya juga sudah meninggal beberapa tahun lalu. Saya sebagai Kakak tertua maka saya sudah dianggap seperti Ibunya. sekarang adik ipar saya masuk ruang ICU dan saya harus menjaganya. mohon doa agar dia cepat sembuh.
Untuk pertanyaan anak laut yang berambut panjang memang ada. mereka tidak sempat memikirkan rambut apa lagi untuk bergaya. Yang mereka pikirkan bagaimana mereka dapat makan dan tidur dengan nyenyak. terkadang untuk belajar saja mereka tidak kosentarsi.
Berikut adalah terjemahan teks ke dalam bahasa Inggris:
"Hello, my friend @wakeupkitty. I apologize for not responding to your questions and comments in the contest over the past few days. My younger sibling-in-law has fallen ill, and I need to take care of them. Since my mother-in-law passed away a few years ago, as the eldest sibling, I've taken on a maternal role. Now, my younger sibling-in-law is in the ICU, and I need to be by their side. Please pray for their speedy recovery.
Regarding the question about the long-haired merchild, yes, they do exist. However, they don't have the luxury to think about their hair or fashion. Their main concerns are finding food and getting a good night's sleep. Sometimes, they even struggle to focus on learning."

Thank you for finding the time to answer dear friend. It is admirable you take the care of the younger sister upon your shoulders. Take good care of yourself.
Blessings to all of you.
