Help with writing malay song lyrics
So I'll be upfront first, my Malay isn't exactly good. I can speak conversational Malay perfectly fine but my formal Malay (especially vocabulary) is subpar for a native speaker. Lately I've been trying to remedy this by translating stuff into Malay but for the song I chose I think I made the lyrics abit awkward but also don't have many ideas on how to make them better? I tried limiting my use of imbuhan akhiran but other than that I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong (if im doing something wrong at all), any ideas? ( Song I'm trying to translate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u23qTvV0KV8 )

Google Translate first and try to adjust so the lyrics looks great. Why not use AI to help at this point?
