Lyrics and translation Chrisye - Dekadensi

Dekadensi

Dunia mode semakin menjadi
Wanita dandan bagai lelaki
Begitu pula sebaliknya pria
Oh, celaka

Penampilan berlomba materi
Berikut gaya bagai sang putri
Senyumnya manis mengalahkan wanita
Oh, celaka

Apakah yang kini sedang terjadi?
Hingga semua tak jelas lagi
Semakin sulit 'tuk kudapati
Di dalam kehidupan di jaman sekarang

Dekadensi tumbuh di sana sini
Dekadensi melanda kehidupan kita, ah-ah, ah-ah

Sering terdengar di warung kopi
Orang berkumpul sambil mencaci
Menuntut pati pengkhianat negeri
Yang korupsi

Teknologi yang semakin tinggi
Membuat kita lupa budaya
Hanya kepentingan ekonomi
Telah dikorbankan citra manusia

Dekadensi tumbuh di sana sini
Dekadensi melanda kehidupan kita, ah-ah, ah-ah
Dekadensi terjadi di sana sini
Dekadensi melanda kehidupan kita, ah-ah, ah-ah

Dekadensi tumbuh di sana sini
(Dekadensi tumbuh di sana sini)
Dekadensi melanda kehidupan kita, ah-ah, ah-ah
(Dekadensi melanda kehidupan kita, ah-ah, ah-ah)

Apakah kini yang sedang terjadi?
(Apakah kini yang sedang terjadi?)
Sehingga semua tak jelas lagi
(Sehingga semua tak jelas lagi)

Dekadensi terjadi di sana sini
(Dekadensi terjadi di sana sini)
Dekadensi melanda kehidupan kita, ah-ah, ah-ah
(Dekadensi melanda kehidupan kita, ah-ah, ah-ah)

Dekadensi tumbuh di sana sini
(Dekadensi tumbuh di sana sini)
Dekadensi melanda

Decadence

The fashion world's getting worse
Women dress like men
And so do men like women
Oh dear

Looks like a competition in materialism
Following styles, like princesses
Their pretty smiles outdo women
Oh dear

What's going on nowadays?
It's all so unclear
It's getting harder to find
In today's life

Decadence lurking here and there
Decadence's enveloping our lives, my dear

Often in coffee shops
People gather and criticize
Demanding the traitors' deaths
Those who corrupt

Technology's advanced so much
We've forgotten our culture
Only concerned with the economy
Humanity sacrificed

Decadence lurking here and there
Decadence's enveloping our lives, my dear
Decadence happening here and there
Decadence's enveloping our lives, my dear

Decadence lurking here and there
(Decadence lurking here and there)
Decadence's enveloping our lives, my dear
(Decadence's enveloping our lives, my dear)

What's going on nowadays?
(What's going on nowadays?)
It's all so unclear
(It's all so unclear)

Decadence happening here and there
(Decadence happening here and there)
Decadence's enveloping our lives, my dear
(Decadence's enveloping our lives, my dear)

Decadence lurking here and there
(Decadence lurking here and there)
Decadence clutches
