Lyrics and translation Iwan Fals - Kereta Tua

Kereta Tua

Hitam warnamu seperti malam
Kekar roda-roda melingkar
Kau kereta lama parkir di stasiun tua

Dulu kakekku pernah cerita
Dia banyak berikan jasa
Saat gejolak perang melanda negeri kita

Kau kereta tua penuh sembunyikan misteri
Waktu pun berlalu orde pun berganti
Oh kereta tua kau nampak semakin asing

Kini dia tak lagi berlaga
Namun masih bisa tertawa
Semoga tidurmu nanti mimpikan masa lalu

Hitam warnamu seperti malam
Kekar roda-roda melingkar
Kau kereta lama parkir di stasiun tua

Dulu kakekku pernah cerita
Dia banyak berikan jasa
Saat gejolak perang melanda negeri kita

Kau kereta tua penuh sembunyikan misteri
Waktu pun berlalu orde pun berganti
Oh kereta tua kau nampak semakin asing

Kini dia tak lagi berlaga
Namun masih bisa tertawa
Semoga tidurmu nanti mimpikan masa lalu
Semoga tidurmu nanti mimpikan masa lalu

Old Train

Black was your color like the night
Sturdy wheels rolling in circles
You old train parked at the old station

My grandfather once told me
He had rendered many a service
During the turmoil of the war that ravaged our land

You old train, you hide a secret.
Time has passed, regimes has changed
Oh old train, you look increasingly unfamiliar

Now he no longer fights
But he can still smile
May you dream of the past when you sleep tonight

Black was your color like the night
Sturdy wheels rolling in circles
You old train parked at the old station

My grandfather once told me
He had rendered many a service
During the turmoil of the war that ravaged our land

You old train, you hide a secret.
Time has passed, regimes has changed
Oh old train, you look increasingly unfamiliar

Now he no longer fights
But he can still smile
May you dream of the past when you sleep tonight
May you dream of the past when you sleep tonight
