One is named “Another Unfortunately Not to Contact”,
Still with the mugshot at which we giggled.
I try to see what he had as a passing joke,
But he respected that I seriously don’t want to smoke.
He’ll always suit jackets that jingle.
Another’s named “Hurts to Contact”.
We met at a drawing group.
On first word, we clicked.
Their artwork is lit.
We’ve shared our final packet of Hula Hoops.
Another is just a number.
Together, we sang “Hey Jude”.
We watched “Gavin and Stacey”.
He made perfect pastry.
We’ll always love music and food.
As for you,
“Everything Will Be Alright”
Is how your sibling’s number is saved,
Whose buzzcut I used to shave –
Hair that won’t outgrow my memory’s sight.
Your contact is still Luka ??!
With a smiley and exclamation mark.
We are still in touch,
But I think of you too much –
Our conversations heart wrenching to park.
Kantung yang penuh
Di genggam, pendirian dari jauh
Lirrik syahdu berkeluaran, jatuh
Jaring menanti semua sifat angkuh
Telah merintih mengerik yang terpendam
Sayatan luka dulu, penting ?, kau termakan dendam
Malam benderang bila waktu menidur
Hujan melelap bila sakit akur
dalam gagal menentang realita
Buta dari semua mimpi, terpejam mata.
English translation :
Title: in all dreams
A full pocket
Holded, a stance from afar
Soulful lyrics spill out, falling
A net awaits all arrogance
Buried groans have been heard
The wounds were important before? You're consumed by revenge
The night is bright when it's time to sleep
The rain falls asleep when the pain is in harmony
Failed to confront reality
Blind from all dreams, eyes closed.
When daddy comes to see me, it feels wrong.
It only happens when I’m in his flat,
each second weekend. “Luka” was the song
my mother sang. But “Where I Hang My Hat”
is what he likes. The day they got divorced,
he told me that he loved me most of all.
Her boyfriend’s nice. His name is ‘Horst’:
(he’s German). Daddy says, Horst isn’t tall.
Jera
Aku terus berjalan dibelakangmu
Yang tampak hanya punggungmu
Inginku merengkuhmu tapi ku tak mampu, kasihku
Inginku menyapamu namun ku tak sanggup, cintaku
Haruskah hasratku terpenuhi hanya dengan pandangi punggungmu?
Aku sangat ingin menatap wajahmu
Terengkuh kedalam peluk dadamu
Namun ku takut
Karena jeraku pada gagal
Karena jeraku pada luka
Duka karena cinta
Maaf kasih, kuhanya kan sapa punggungmu…
Discouraged
I keep on walking behind you
Your back is all I eye-sense, very true
I’d like to reach you in my stalking, darling
I want to say hi but it’s stopped in cries, honey
Should my passion be fulfilled,
Only by seeing your back in wilt?
I’m dying to see your face,
Got reached into your warmth
But I’m too afraid to embrace
Cos my discouraged hasn't been calmed
Cos my scared of scratched heart,
Of my past mourning love
I’m sorry for me, can never go onward
The dearest, only your back can see my love dove
Cermin
Kupandangi cermin didepan berdiriku
Akankah bayangan itu berubah?
Mungkinkah bayangan itu memudar?
Bayangan itu senyata nafasku
Bayangan itu sepasti lukaku
Semakin dalam dukaku saat melihatmu
Cermin fana pengungkap dusta
Sembunyikanlah nyatamu
Aku malu dan pilu
Pudarkanlah bayangmu
Aku luka dan berduka
Retakkanlah wujudmu!
Aku ingin melupakannya
Bayang semu diriku
Bayang semu senyata dustaku
Bayang semu senyata dosaku
Mirror
(23/07/2011)
I stare at the mirror in front of my stand
Would my reflection change?
Is there any slightest possibility it will be faded?
This reflection as real as my breath
This reflection as precise as my sad,
And it gets deeper when I see you,
The disguise revealing mirror makes me blue
Please, hide me your reality
I’m embarrassed and no clue
Fade me my reflection
I’m wounded and escaped from truth
Break me yourself, I’m begging you!
I want to break me,
My reflection in disguise,
The disguised me in falsity
My disguised me needs clarity!
Kedai usang di tepi jalan
lambang kasih bonda
tanda keringat perit ayahanda
pun sepi di tepi jalan
tiada pelanggan
tiada lagi suara penuh mesra
tiada lagi pesanan ke udara
tiada lagi apa - apa
pun lena ditelan kenangan
kisah cinta dan kasih
bonda dan ayahanda
yang penuh pedih, luka dan duka
