Pulau Perhentian Kecil
vanquishes paradise by far.
Closer to this island is still
Pulau Perhentian Besar.
Kota Bahru can be the gate.
Kuala Besut the closing door.
South China Sea can thus create
miracles on the ocean floor.
Listen, cause history will tell,
Pulau Perhentian Kecil,
heaven can quickly change to hell,
beauty is not an act of will.
Humans are beggars in the night
longing for life-long loveliness,
craving your beauty and your light,
cursing the places which they bless.
Pulau Perhentian Kecil,
look at your neighbour from afar
see how our people slowly kill
Pulau Perhentian Besar.
