"Kita tidak bisa menghindari kematian, sayang."

Translation: We cannot avoid death, love.

[Sam67858]

I think ‘sayang’ in this context means ‘unfortunately’ unless the speaker is talking to their sweetheart, in which case ‘sayangku’ might make it clearer.

[JKVLim]

'Sayang' only means 'unfortunately' when used separately as an exclamation, otherwise it's "sayangnya" in the sentence. "Dear" and "darling" are more appropriate translations for this example. "Love" sounds a bit weird here... makes me think of "Love is colder than death".

nah

Wife: Honey, let's live together for another 100 years!

Husband: We cannot avoid death, love

"Sayang" as pronoun

[gouragoura]

I was confused about what the word "sayang/love" at the end of the sentence means

[Jake929031]

Dear

[KyrieDomineJesus]

"Love is stronger than death!" - "No my Dear."

I think that may actually be the intended play of words here.

Very nihilistic. Love is stronger than death.

[irvan_margondez]

Sayang should be also be defined as baby or dear

[EsaRintala1]

We cannot avoid death, love. We cannot avoid death or love. Can this be the meaning of the sentence we are supposed to learn? When this was made was there first English or Indinesian sentence?
