This research is aimed to find the translation strategies and equivalence that were used by pantun translators toward an anonymous malaypantun by A. W. Hamilton, R. O. Winstedt and Katherine Sim. The researcher uses qualitative research on this writing. He analyses the collected data through descriptive analysis to fulfill the objective of this research. The data are taken from a journal that shows three translations of one anonymous pantun. Researcher analyses the translation strategy and equivalence per translator then elaborates the findings to generate a relevant result. On the conclusion, researcher finds that each translator has different approach toward the source text. A. W. Hamilton uses two kinds of structural strategy for three verses and one kind of semantic strategy for one verse which could be counted as Communicative Equivalence. R. O. Winstedt uses one kind of semantic strategy for one translation therefore researcher concludes it as Semantic Equivalence.
