Lyrics and translation Iwan Fals - Azan Subuh Masih di Telinga




Azan Subuh Masih di Telinga
The Dawn Prayer Is Still in my Ears
Ketika fajar menjelang
As dawn approaches
Terlihat dia melangkah enggan
I see her walking reluctantly
Seirama dengan dendang Subuh
To the rhythm of the dawn prayer
Yang singgah di hati keruh
Which echoes in her troubled heart
Sempit jalan, berdesak bangunan
The street is narrow, the buildings crowded
Memandang sinis, mendakwa bengis
Their cynical eyes condemn her mercilessly
Perempuan satu dan hitamnya waktu
A woman alone in the darkness of the night
Dihapusnya gincu dengan ujung baju
She wipes away her lipstick with the hem of her dress
Dibuangnya dengus birahi sejuta tamu
She casts aside the lustful whispers of a thousand clients
Hari pagi menyambut kau kembali
The morning greets you once again
Mengusap nadi, mengelus hati
Soothing your pulse, caressing your heart
Sesal di hatimu kian mengganggu
Regret gnaws at your soul
Kau reguk habis semua doa-doa
You drink deeply from the prayers
Dari surau depan rumah yang kau sewa
That drift from the mosque next door to your rented room
Tak terasa, surya duduk di kepala
Before you know it, the sun is high in the sky
Azan Subuh masih di telinga
But the dawn prayer is still ringing in your ears
Terdengar renyah tawa gadis sekolah
I hear the laughter of schoolgirls
Menyibak tabir cerita lama
Tearing apart the veil of old memories
Di depan retaknya cermin yang t'lah usang
In front of a cracked mirror
Menari dia s'perti dahulu
She dances as she used to
Terdengar pelan ketuk pintu
There's a gentle knock at the door
Tegur anakmu buyarkan lamunan
Your child's voice breaks your reverie
Perempuan satu kian terbelenggu
The woman is trapped
Dihapusnya gincu dengan ujung baju
She wipes away her lipstick with the hem of her dress
Dibuangnya dengus birahi sejuta tamu
She casts aside the lustful whispers of a thousand clients
Na, na-na-na-na
Na, na-na-na-na
Na, na-na-na-na
Na, na-na-na-na
Na-na
Na-na
La, la-la-la-la
La, la-la-la-la
Na, na-na-na-na
Na, na-na-na-na
Na-na
Na-na
La, la-la-la-la
La, la-la-la-la
Na, na-na-na-na
Na, na-na-na-na
