Trunyan Village

Guide              : Okey, Miss Cameron, we have arrived at Trunyan village. How was your feeling?

Cameron          : Owh… it was ridiculous. I’m not good in long way travelling.

Guide              : Really? I thought you were happy, but I believe that you will be amazed when you see this village.

Cameron          : Of course, I wish, but where will we go then?

Guide              : we are going to meet chief of this village. Ohh… she is there.

Giude              : Swastyastu Ibu.

Local               : Swastyastu, ada yang bisa saya bantu?

Guide              : Iya, saya Made Dewi dari Panorama leisure, tamu saya dari Amerika ingin melihat kuburan desa Trunyan. Miss Cameron, she is the chief of this village.

Cameron          : Hi, I’m Cameron, How are you?

Local               : Emmm…

Guide              : Namanya Cameron, bagaimana kabar ibu?

Local               : Ohh… baik sekali.

Guide              : She is very good.

Cameron          : What is your name?

Guide              : Mohon maaf, nama ibu siapa?

Local               : Nama saya Nyoman Mekar.

Guide              : Her name is Nyoman Mekar.

Cameron          : Nyoman Mekar, nice to meet you.

Guide              : Senang bertemu dengan ibu.

Local               : ya, terima kasih. Mari kita langsung menuju ke kuburan.

Guide              : Iya, now, Miss Cameron, we are going to go to cemetery of this village.

Cameron          : Okey.

Local               : Kita sudah sampai.

Guide              : Here it is, Miss Cameron.

Cameron          : Owh my God, what’s on earth are they doing? Why do they just lie corpse on the ground?

Guide              : I have told you before that you would be amazed. Let’s ask Miss Mekar about this cemetery. Bu Mekar, tolong jelaskan sedikit tentang kuburan di Trunyan ini!

Local               : Kuburan disini memang berbeda dari kuburan masyarakat Bali pada umumnya. Kita tidak pernah membakar atau mengubur mayat dari warga yang meninggal.

Guide              : This cemetery is much different from others cemetery in Bali generally. They have never cremated or buried corpse of their people.

Cameron          : Really? Why it doesn’t release any bad smell?

Guide              : Mengapa mayat disini tidak mengeluarkan bau tak sedap?

Local               : Itu disebabkan oleh cuaca disini yang cukup dingin dan juga pohon Menyan ini turut membantu menyerap bau tak sedap. Nama desa ini juga berasal dari nama pohon ini yaitu Taru Menyan.

Guide              : It is because of the weather in Trunyan is cool enough and this big Menyan tree can absorb the bad smell. The name of this village is also derived from the name of this tree, “Taru” means tree and “Menyan” means nice smell.

Cameron          : That’s why this village is called Trunyan. Why do they put some corpses on that side and some others are here?

Guide              : Bu Mekar, kenapa mayatnya sebagian diletakan disana dan sebagian lagi disini?

Local               : Kuburan disini dibagi menjadi tiga bagian, yang pertama adalah “Sema Wayah” untuk kematian yang normal, yang kedua adalah “Sema Bantas” untuk kematian yang tidak normal seperti kecelakaan, sakit dan lain sebagainya, dan yang terakhir adalah “Sema Nguda” untuk anak-anak.

Guide              : They have three different types of cemeteries, first one is “Sema Wayah” for normal death, second one is  “Sema Bantas” for abnormal death such as, death which are caused by accident, disease etc, and the last one is “Sema Nguda” for children.

Cameron          : I’ve got it, but how about their bones? What will they do after it decompose?

Guide              : Apa yang akan dilakukan pada tulang-tulang yang sudah kering?

Local               : Kita akan meletakannya di atas tempat datar di bawah pohon Menyan ini.

Guide              : They will put it on a platform under this Menyan tree.

Cameron          : That is outrageous. I’ve never seen such this cemetery before. That is amazing. May I take some picture?

Guide              : Boleh kita mengambil beberapa gambar?

Local               : Tentu saja boleh, silahkan!

Cameron          : Miss Mekar, let’s take photo together.

Guide              : Bu Mekar, Miss Cameron ingin berfoto bersama.

Local               : Baik.

Guide              : Okey ready?? One, two, three, cheers…

Cameron          : Thank you Miss Mekar.

Guide              : Terima kasih Bu.

Local               : Ya, terima kasih kembali.
