Lyrics and translation Iwan Fals - Sore Tugu Pancoran

Sore Tugu Pancoran

Si Budi kecil kuyup menggigil
Menahan dingin tanpa jas hujan
Di simpang jalan Tugu Pancoran
Tunggu pembeli jajakan koran

Menjelang Magrib, hujan tak reda
Si Budi murung menghitung laba
Surat kabar sore dijual malam
Selepas Isya, melangkah pulang

Anak sekecil itu berkelahi dengan waktu
Demi satu impian yang kerap ganggu tidurmu
Anak sekecil itu tak sempat nikmati waktu
Dipaksa pecahkan karang, lemah jarimu terkepal

Cepat langkah waktu pagi menunggu
Si Budi sibuk siapkan buku
Tugas dari sekolah selesai setengah
Sanggupkah si Budi diam di dua sisi?

Anak sekecil itu berkelahi dengan waktu
Demi satu impian yang kerap ganggu tidurmu
Anak sekecil itu tak sempat nikmati waktu
Dipaksa pecahkan karang, lemah jarimu terkepal

Anak sekecil itu berkelahi dengan waktu
Demi satu impian yang kerap ganggu tidurmu
Anak sekecil itu tak sempat nikmati waktu
Dipaksa pecahkan karang, lemah jarimu terkepal

Pancoran Monument Twilight

Little Budi soaked and shivering
Hiding from the cold without a raincoat
At the crossroads of Pancoran Monument
Waiting for customers to sell newspaper

As the evening approaches, the rain doesn't stop
Budi is gloomy calculating his profit
Evening newspapers sold at night
After Isya, heading home

Such a small child fighting against time
For the sake of a dream that often haunts your sleep
Such a small child has no time to enjoy
Forced to break the rocks, your weak fingers clenched

Time's pace is fast, the morning awaits
Budi is busy preparing his books
Half of the school assignments are finished
Is Budi capable of handling both sides?

Such a small child fighting against time
For the sake of a dream that often haunts your sleep
Such a small child has no time to enjoy
Forced to break the rocks, your weak fingers clenched

Such a small child fighting against time
For the sake of a dream that often haunts your sleep
Such a small child has no time to enjoy
Forced to break the rocks, your weak fingers clenched
