What does
In this line of the poem "aku":
"Kumau tak seorang 'kan merayu"
Also, what does the "'kan" (bukan) mean in this instance?
I've read english translations, but they are all different and I don't like them :/

"ku" in this sentence comes from word "aku (I)", "kan" comes from word "akan(will)", and "tak" comes from word "tidak (no)".
So if I translate those words one by one it will be:
kumau (shortened from "aku mau") ==> I want
tak seorang (shortened from "tidak seorang") ==> no body
kan (shortened from "akan) ==> will
merayu ==> seduce/persuade
"kumau tak seorang kan merayu" ==> "I don't want anybody to seduce/persuade (me)" or simply "I won't budge" :D
We do this all the time in poems. We keep shortening the words so that they sound more poetic. It goes the same as "going to ==> gonna" in English. You won't find the correct meaning of these words in dictionaries as they are not standard words.
I hope it helps. Feel free to ask further if you don't understand my explanations.

"Kumau tak seorang 'kan merayu"
I can't explain it well, but I understand. Since this sentence is poetic, only literature people can explain the meaning of Kan in this sentence. But overall, it means that "I want no one to seduce me."
Sedu, Sedan, Sedih, Perih
For these words, all meaning of sadness and broken hearted feeling. You know the feeling when your finger get cut off by a knife? that's Perih feeling.
That's all I can explain :)

Correction write : Sedu-sedan , not sedu, sedan,
this words in English : sobs, blubbers, snifle.
This word most use in Poem.
"Pedih" and "Perih" not Peri ( peri in english : fairy ) .
Both is synonym, in English : hurt , painful
But In Poem pedih or perih is feeling hurt.

Kumau tak seorangpun 'kan merayu.
Kalimat yang sama dengan maksud poem/ puisi ini "
Yang aku mau(desire), tidak ada seseorang, yang akan merayu.
'Kan dalam puisi / poem.... part of "Akan."
This words is Future Tense.
In English,
That I want, no body, will be seduce.
Sorry im not good in English.
