BALADA KERETA SENJA


Kulihat mata-mata terlelap, 
di antara tubuh yang duduk berjejalan, 
dilangkahi kaki-kaki para pencari rizki, 
diselimuti asap rokok dan pengap udara. 

Tak jauh darinya, 
wajah-wajah penuh lelah juga tersandar lemah pada dinding berkarat 
yang bergoyang-goyang sesuai laju kereta. 

Inilah sebuah realita kehidupan yang nyata di sebuah negara merdeka, semu... 
Tetap saja terjajah (oleh saudara sebangsanya sendiri). 
Di luar sana, suara-suara menyayat hati mengemis meminta sekeping harapan, 
hanya untuk hidup malam ini (mungkin?)

Ya Rabbi, 
betapa harusnya aku bersyukur atas nikmat-Mu selama ini. 
Layakkah aku tidur nyenyak, 
sedangkan di luar sana banyak mata yang tak pernah bisa benar-benar terpejam?

(Dini hari, perjalanan kereta ke Jakarta)

" Hello to Myself "

Kemarin hari ultahku,
Iseng-iseng ngucapin selamat pada diri sendiri
dengan nggubah lagu Ye Eun Wonder Girl "Hello to myself"
Kebetulan April masih musim semi di beberapa bagian dunia,
Indonesia mah gak jelas musim hujan atau kemarau...
So, tambahin foto snowdrop
kesannya jadi - gua banget ^^


















Hello,
This is April 2012, a lovely spring
Where are you ?
How close are you
To the dream that I wanted so bad?

Here,
I'm still falling and crying again
I'm hurt and tired and have no strength to get up
But you would probably see me and smile

 

Hello to myself , hello to myself …
Will you comfort me, saying don't cry ?
Hello to myself, hello to myself …
Will you tell me that I can do it?
Hello hello, don't cry …
Hello hello, get up …

How are you - how is it to fulfill your dream ?
Doesn't it hurt when you pinch yourself ?
Or is it sometimes boring because it's become a normal routine for you ?
If you ever get lonely and tired,
Will you remember me, who used to dream here ?


Hello to myself, hello to myself …
Will you think of me here and smile ?
Hello to myself, hello to myself …
Will you be happy to the point where your heart overflows ?
Hello hello, smile …
Hello hello, just like that …

Hello to myself, hello to myself …
Will you think of me here and smile ?
Hello to myself, hello to myself …
Will you not forget me, who used to dream ?
What's the best thing you can do for yourself ?
