Aku yang Dulu Bukanlah yang Sekarang (Tegar) Lyric and English Translation

Aku yang Dulu Bukanlah yang Sekarang (I was not I am now—I am not I was) tells about a singing beggar’s living. In the past, he was upstaged and humiliated by people. But God meets him with a label record’s owner and make a deal to sign contract that change his life. *Because my mother language is not English, would you like to tell me you can understand what I mean or not? so I can learn more. J

Aku yang dulu bukanlah yang sekarang

I am not I was
Dulu ditendang sekarang ku disayang

In the past I was kicked, now I am adored
Dulu dulu dulu ku menderita

Formerly, formerly, formerly I suffered
Sekarang aku bahagia

Now I am happy

Cita-citaku menjadi orang kaya

I want to be a rich man
Dulu ku susah sekarang Alhamdulillah

Formerly my life was difficult, now thanks God
Bersyukurlah pada Yang Maha Kuasa

Be grateful to the God Almighty
Memberi jalan untukku semua

(that) give all ways for me

Hidupku dulunya seorang pengamen

I was a singing beggar
Pulang malam selalu bawa uang recehan

Came home lately, always brought coins
Mengejar cita-cita paling mulia

Chase (my) noble aspiration
Membantu keluarga di rumah
Help  my family in home (household management)

Sekolah dulu ku gak punya biaya
I had no money to fund school cost

Terpaksa ku harus mencari nafkah

Perforcely, I had to earn the life
Tetapi aku tak berputus asa

But I didn’t give up
Pasti Yang Kuasa memberi jalanNya
Surely, Almighty give His way

Hidupku dulunya seorang pengamen

I was a singing beggar
Pulang malam selalu bawa uang recehan

Came home lately, always brought coins
Mengejar cita-cita paling mulia

Chase (my) noble aspiration
Bersyukur masuk dapur rekaman

Thanks God I deal with record label

Sekolah dulu ku gak punya biaya
I had no money to fund school cost

Terpaksa ku harus mencari nafkah

Perforcely, I had to earn the life
Paling bisa bantu dengan penuh cinta

Only can help with love
Cinta yang penuh warna

Coloured love

Aku yang dulu bukanlah yang sekarang

I am not I was
Dulu ditendang sekarang ku disayang

In the past I was kicked, now I am adored
Dulu dulu dulu ku menderita

Formerly, formerly, formerly I suffered
Sekarang aku bahagia

Now I am happy

Cita-citaku menjadi orang kaya

I want to be a rich man
Dulu ku susah sekarang Alhamdulillah

Formerly my life was difficult, now thanks God
Bersyukurlah pada Yang Maha Kuasa

Be grateful to the God Almighty
Memberi ooh memberi jalan untukku semua

give ooh give all ways for me
