Paroles et traduction Amir Meludah - Juara Semalam

Juara Semalam

Pernah bergusti lawan buaya
Ikan paus pun takut bila kelahi bersama

Panahan kilat terlalu lambat masih boleh tertangkap
Guruhan petir masuk telinga dunia segenap

Lompat-lompat kaki walau betis dah lenguh
Tiada dinding yang takkan dirempuh

Orgasma hanya terasa pada keringat peluh
Siapa berani menari melodi sambil bergaduh?

Kau hanya lawan kau bukan musuh
Kau bukan tuhan kau juga makhluk
Kita berpukul sambil muka tersenyum
Terima lah ikhlas liur darah di mulut

Terlebih tidur ukir rasa kurang selesa
Diri menyoal punca dia girang gembira

Tampak garang macam kuat tunjuk taring sang singa
Walau belum pernah rasa duduk bawah mahkota

Berat piring besi diangkat gigih
Tunjuk merah gusi gigi senyum digigit
Koyak dinding otot keraskan perut
Cuba konsentrasi sampai urat timbul ditengkok

Utas benang senang masuk lubang
Jarum tak perlu ditengok tak perlu dipandang
Gayung tua pemutus gayung
Berdarah tangan sengal sakar sakal disamun

Hati berdentum kurang tenteram
Nampak muka si hodoh bila mata dipejam
Mula rasa sangsi dengan sifat sendiri
Sudah tidak pasti sudah tidak yakin

Daging lembut penyek tertumbuk
Lagi tiga minit sebelum loceng gangsa dipukul
Angkat lutut siku tajam mencucuk
Dahi cium tanah tumit kaki terjatuh

Emas hilang juga satu peluang
Hamba sini bukan lagi pemenang
Perlukah sambung cuba-cuba berjuang
Teritori sendiri dah diambil orang

Esok menanti juga mentari
Bumikan sambung berputar pada paksi
Halilintar mengigau masuk dalam mimpi
Pecut larikan diri daripada realiti

"Berhenti berhenti" bisik suara hati
Juara semalam takkan datang kembali
Tengok kanan dan jengok kiri
Siapa paling rendah bila semua berdiri

"Berhenti berhenti" bisik suara hati
Juara semalam takkan datang kembali
Tengok kanan dan jengok kiri
Siapa paling rendah bila semua berdiri

Yesterday's Champion

I once wrestled crocodiles
Even whales were scared when we fought

Lightning arrows are too slow, I could still catch them
Thunder's roar entered my ears, reaching the whole world

I hopped and skipped, even though my calves were sore
No wall could stop me

Orgasm only felt like sweat
Who dares to dance to a melody while fighting?

You are your own opponent, you are not an enemy
You are not a god, you are also a creature
We beat each other while smiling
Accept the sincere sweat and blood in my mouth

Sleeping too much makes me feel uncomfortable
I question the source of your joy and happiness

You look fierce, like a strong lion showing its teeth
Even though you've never sat under a crown

I lift the heavy iron plate with strength
I show my red gums, my teeth smile, bitten
I tear the wall with my muscles, harden my stomach
I try to concentrate until the veins bulge on my neck

A thread of yarn easily goes into a hole
I don't need to look at the needle, I don't need to see it
The old dipper breaks the dipper
My hand is bloody, sore, stiff, robbed

My heart beats, I feel restless
I see the ugly face when I close my eyes
I start to doubt my own nature
I am no longer sure, I am no longer confident

Tender flesh crushed, beaten
Three more minutes before the brass bell is struck
I raise my knee, my elbow sharp, I stab
My forehead kisses the ground, my heel falls

Gold is lost, so is one chance
I am no longer a winner
Do I need to continue to try and struggle?
My territory has been taken by others

Tomorrow, the sun will still rise
The earth will continue to spin on its axis
Thunder roars, enters my dreams
The whip chases me away from reality

"Stop, stop," my heart whispers
Yesterday's champion won't come back
Look to the right and look to the left
Who is the shortest when everyone stands tall?

"Stop, stop," my heart whispers
Yesterday's champion won't come back
Look to the right and look to the left
Who is the shortest when everyone stands tall?
