Lyrics and translation Iwan Fals - Kupu - Kupu Hitam Putih




Kupu - Kupu Hitam Putih
Butterfly - Black and White Butterfly
Menunggu matahari terbit
Waiting for the sun to rise
Di musim hujan
In the rainy season
Mendung menjadi teman
Clouds are my friends
Ada juga keindahannya
There is beauty in them too
Butir embun yang ada di daun
Dewdrops on the leaves
Bagai intan berlian
Like diamonds
Lebih riang ia berkilauan
They sparkle more brightly
Karena matahari tertutup awan
Because the sun is hidden by the clouds
Iri aku menyaksikan itu
I envy them, watching this
Tapi kutekan aku harus bersyukur
But I force myself to be grateful
Berguru pada kenyataan
Learning from reality
Pada makhluk Tuhan yang katanya tak berakal
From God's creatures that they say are mindless
La la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la
La la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la
La la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la
La la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la
La la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la
La la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la
Suara burung-burung di dahan
The sound of birds in the branches
Nyanyian alam
Nature's song
Bekerja ia mencari makan
They work, searching for food
Ada juga yang membuat sarang
Some are building nests
Iri aku menyaksikan itu
I envy them, watching this
Tapi kutekan aku harus bersyukur
But I force myself to be grateful
Berguru pada kenyataan
Learning from reality
Pada makhluk Tuhan yang katanya tak berakal
From God's creatures that they say are mindless
Kupu-kupu hitam putih
Black and white butterfly
Terbang di sekitarku
Flying around me
Melihat ia menari
Watching it dance
Hatiku terpatri
My heart is captivated
Sepasang merpati
A pair of doves
Bercumbu di balik awan
Courting behind the clouds
Kemudian ia turun menukik
Then they dive down
Sujud syukur pada-Nya
Praying to Him in gratitude
Mendung datang lagi
The clouds return
Setelah hangat sebentar
After a brief moment of warmth
Butir embun hilang
The dewdrops disappear
Aku jadi termenung
I'm lost in thought
Mencari pegangan
Looking for a grip
Mencoba untuk bersandar
Trying to lean on something
Langit makin hitam
The sky grows darker
Aku jadi berharap pada hujan
I start hoping for rain
La la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la
La la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la
La la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la
La la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la
La la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la
La la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la
Kupu-kupu hitam putih
Black and white butterfly
Terbang di sekitarku
Flying around me
Melihat ia menari
Watching it dance
Hatiku terpatri
My heart is captivated
Sepasang merpati
A pair of doves
Bercumbu di balik awan
Courting behind the clouds
Kemudian ia turun menukik
Then they dive down
Sujud syukur pada-Nya
Praying to Him in gratitude
La la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la
La la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la
La la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la
La la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la
La la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la
La la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la
La la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la
La la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la
La la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la
La la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la
La la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la
La la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la
