Pure Love

I had a song that i keep close to my heart. This one is so special because every time i heard this song played on the stereo, it made me think of my father. The song is in Dusun and it called Upus Tolidang. It means Pure Love. Upus means love while tolidang means pure.

You can find the lyrics and translation beneath the video panel. I never knew that translating work would be so hard. This is my first translation work and i think i barely conveyed the real essence of the lyrics.

If you understand Dusun you would know that the lyrics are so beautiful. Dusun is my mother tongue but i rarely use it. Most of the time i speak in Malay. Anyway, enjoy!



Odop noh koupusan Sleep my love
mamanau aku noh cause i'm leaving now
minsodu mantad dika away from you

Sorohon oku noh Please remember me
igitai tih upus ku hold on to my love
posonong ginawo nuh it'll make you strong

Oruol ginawo ku  My heart is hurt
monongkiad dika to leave you behind
aradaat ginawo ku my heart is not at ease
soira kosorou when i think
koinsanai diti of all this

Odop noh koupusan Sleep my love
kada noh pogihad do not cry anymore
tu mibok oku noh cause i need to leave
sogigisom forever

Olumaag noh da Please be strong
iri noh pagandasan ku that is my only hope
tu poingirot kasari cause my heart will always
ginawo ku id dika close to yours
sogigisom forever

Oi koupusan ku Oh my love
kada noh kaangau please do not worry
tu upus ku doi dika cause my love to you
upus dih olidang is a pure love

Oruol ginawo ku My heart is hurt
monongkiad dika to leave you behind
aradaat ginawo ku my heart is not at ease
soira kosorou when i think
koinsanai diti of all this

Odop noh koupusan Sleep my love
kada noh pogihad do not cry anymore
tu mibok oku noh cause i need to leave
sogigisom forever

Olumaag noh da Please be strong
iri noh pagandasan ku that is my only hope
tu poingirot kasari cause my heart will always
ginawo ku id dika close to yours
sogigisom forever
