Jalan Tak Terlalui oleh Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

Dua jalan bercabang di hutan saat gugur,

And sorry I could not travel both

Dan maaf kutak dapat lalui keduanya

And be one traveler,

Dan hanya aku seorang,

long I stood and looked down one as far as I could

lama kuterdiam dan menerawang salah satu sejauh kubisa

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Ke mana ia mengelok tersamar oleh tetumbuhan;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

Lalu kulihat yang lain, yang tiada beda,

And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Dan mungkin lebih baik, Karena rerumputannya dan tak terjamah;

Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,

Meski karena itu tiada yang melaluinya tak ada perbedaan yang tercipta,

And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black.

Dan pagi menyingsing di keduanya dengan dedaunan tanpa jejak langkah.

Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

Oh, yang pertama biarlah lain kali!

Tanpa tahu bagaimana mereka berakhir,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

Aku ragu jika harus kembali lagi.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Baiknya kukabarkan ini dengan mendesah

Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

Jauh setelahnya dan tua karenanya:

Dua jalan bercabang dalam hutan, dan aku-

I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

Aku lalui satu yang tak terjamah,

Dan itulah pembeda segalanya.
