Salapan bulan ngakandung
Moal aya hiji jalma
Leuwih ti indung
I left my home to see the land
Every river, every plain
The wet forest and the dry sand
A wanderer on an island
My mother had showed the way
From the moment I had left her
I would come back to her some day
And be a prince ever after
Salapan bulan ngakandung
Pinuh rasa jeung rumasa
Salapan bulan dikandung
Pinuh dosa jeung rumasa
I crossed all the rivers
And sailed all the ships
Always thinking of her
Through every step, in every district
Everywhere I went I never stayed long
The noise of the canons, the ringing of the gong
The banging of drums, the loud cymbal sound
Always told me I didn’t belong
Diniatan susuganan
Ngalalana di dayeuh ka pasisian
I know you can
ride the waves of rivers
make your way up mountains
sail each and every sea
yes, I know that you can
but you know you… can
hold on to me, you can hold on to me
You can
wander through the woods
drift across the deserts
get around the globe
you know that you can
as you know where I'll be
when you hold on to me, hold on to me
And when you cross the doorway
your shoes next to mine
to rest by my side
then I hope you will see
how I hold on to you
so hold on to me, hold on to me

Wild Sky
04:02
|
|

All are born under the same sky
Sometimes destiny is delight
Sweet delight
Or endless night
Some are born to be a wild sky
Are born to make a better life
Better life Some
Indomitable
Sometimes they say oh
oh it’s good for me to go
in this or that direction
where it’s better than before
and they seem to know the score
and there’s all kinds of action
And then they mention stupid things
like a barbidoll that sings
or another prefab trend
like greener gardens of cement
sometimes they say oh
oh it’s good for me to go
in this or that direction
I don’t wanna go where the masses go
they’re not the kind of masses I would wanna know
I don’t wanna do what all the others do
without all the idiots I can be happy too
Maybe I don’t wanna be an umpteenth clone
maybe I want something to call my own
I better get it done and I’ll do it just for fun
and that’s good enough for starters
All the rubbish we can buy
all the deaths that one can die
is anybody watching me
none of this appeals to me
not any of those actions
all those stupid actions...
Real life soap tv
courses in stupidity
mindless conversations
these microwave sensations
politics of flying kites
cover ups and stupid lies
oh sometimes I say no
Nous sommes tous nés sous les mêmes cieux
Parfois nos destins sont joyeux
Si joyeux
Ou tellement malheureux
D’autres sont nés pour vivre un autre ailleurs
Nés pour rendre leur vie meilleure
Vie meilleure
Vivre à jamais sans peur

Lara
04:53
|
|
||
Suara sumbang halangi langkah yang selalu bimbang
Jejak ku tak lagi mengarah pada jalan yang terbentang
Jera ku cari jawaban
Tentang sebuah kebenaran
Langkah yang terhimpit beban
Suara beranjak di dalam kesunyian yang meradang
Tiada lara mampu menghembuskan nafas kianlamban
Jeraku cari jawaban
Tentang sebuah kebenaran
Langkah yang terhimpit beban
Kemana terus berjalan ?
Jurang menjadi tumpuan
Harap hanyalah kiasan
Traduction :
Les voix discordantes bloquent chaque pas indécis
Mes pas ne m’emmènent plus sur un chemin étroit
Résignée, j’arrête de chercher la réponse
A propos de la vérité
Les pas deviennent difficiles à cause de ce fardeau
Les voix bougent dans un silence sans fin
Il n’y a aucune tristesse qui peut souffler cet air si lentement
Résignée, j’arrête de chercher la réponse
A propos de la vérité
Les pas qui supportent un lourd fardeau
Où vais-je ?
Le ravin devient un appui
L’espoir n’est qu’une allusion

Apaka Mata Kami Buta
04:33
|
|
||
Badai hujan menerpa
Kau tak usah bersembunyi
Matahari yang membakar
Kau tak perlu berteduh
Mengapa kami tak bisa mendengar ?
Kami tak juga melihat
Langkah tertatih letih
Senja bergurau sendu
Lelah kian menjelma
Kau tak perlu berpeluh
Mengapa kami tak bisa mendengar ?
Kami tak juga melihat
Apakahmata kami buta?
Atau dunia gelap gulita?
Traduction :
La tempête va venir
Tu n’as pas besoin de te cacher
Le soleil brûle
Tu n’as pas besoin de t’abriter
Pourquoi nous ne pouvons pas entendre
Pourquoi nous ne pouvons pas voir aussi?
Epuisée, chaque pas est un fardeau
Le crépuscule sourit avec mélancolie
La fatigue devient plus réelle
Mais tu n’as pas besoin de faire des efforts
Pourquoi nous ne pouvons pas entendre
Pourquoi nous ne pouvons pas voir aussi?
Sommes nous aveugles?
Ou c’est le monde qui est obscur?

Sang Bujangga
03:07
|
|
||
Tertatih, melawan nafsu kian menggebu
Berdiam, memendam meredam segala marah
Detak hati bimbang bertanya pada ragu
Mungkinkah sang renta, terbang melawan arah
Satu persatu angan melayang
Hingga tak lagi terang membayang
Menghitung seribu jiwa, takkan terlewatkan
Merangkak menembus batas, takkan terlepaskan
Meniti setapak mimpi, merengkuh cahaya
Seolah dunia milikku, semua kan kujaga

Molehill / Mountain
04:54
|
|

It's a mountain
says reason
it's a molehill
says hope
it is danger
says worry
it is doable
says faith
It is crazy
says pride
it's unheard of
says caution
it is the end
says unease
it's a beginning
says history
It is useless
says inkling
it's a challenge
says belief
it is painful
says fear
It is what it is
says life
do you | blame the rain for simply falling | down
do you | blame the sky for just hanging around | down
It is nonsense
says doubt
It is a chance
says experience
( . . . . )
says reason
says hope
says worry
says faith
says pride
says caution
says unease
says history
says inkling
says belief
says fear
says life
says who
says we
says you
says me
do you | blame the wind for passing | through— . . .
do you | blame me for not being | you— . . .
It is ludicrous
says wisdom
It is a must
says perspective
It's a mountain
it's a molehill
it is danger
it is doable
It is crazy
it's unheard of
it is the end
it's a beginning
It is useless
it's a challenge
it is painful
it is what it is
. . . do you wanna / have you never / are you gonna / will you ever
. . . do you wanna / have you never / are you gonna / will you ever
It is a mountain
it is a molehill
it is a mountain
it is what it is
