Oh Duruninang (Daughter), Do Not Cry

Oh Duruninang, do not cry.
You are beautiful I say,
Live the life you may.
Achieve the greatest things,
I know I'm far away.
Oh Duruninang, do not cry.

Your father may not be,
As dark as you or me.
I never wished to have a child,
I had but not a choice,
But I still love you dear.
Oh how I wish to hear your voice
They say I may not be here,
Your birth the likely cause,
But I still love you dear.
Oh Duruninang, do not cry.

I wanted a different life,
But it's too late for me,
But you still have a life to live,
One I may not get to see.
I promise to watch over you,
See your every step.
I'll wait above,
For you to come,
And great me by your death.
Oh Duruninang, do not cry.
