Paroles et traduction Iwan Fals - Tante Lisa

Tante Lisa

Lelaki renta setengah baya
Geram di trotoar jalan
Saat panas tikam kepala
Seorang buruh disingkirkan

Bising mesin menyulut resah
Masih bisa engkau pendam
Canda anak-istri di rumah
Bangkitkan kau untuk bertahan

Oh ya ya
Oh ya ya
Oh ya
Oh ya ya
Oh ya ya
Oh ya

Pesangon yang engkau kantongi
Tak cukup redakan gundah
Tajam pisau kepalan tangan
Antarkan kau ke pintu penjara

Oh ya ya
Oh ya ya
Oh ya
Oh ya ya
Oh ya ya
Oh ya

Sedanau nanah dari matamu
Tak mampu jatuhkan hati mereka
Serimba luka di dalam jiwa
Juga tak berarti

Hitam benak kini mulai akrab
Hitam benak isi hari-harimu
Kau tafakur di jeruji pengap
Kau menjerit coba melawan

Lelaki renta setengah baya
Geram di trotoar jalan
Saat panas tikam kepala
Seorang buruh disingkirkan

Pesangon yang engkau kantongi
Tak cukup redakan gundah
Tajam pisau kepalan tangan
Antarkan kau ke pintu penjara

Oh ya ya
Oh ya ya
Oh ya
Oh ya ya
Oh ya ya
Oh ya

Tante Lisa

An elderly man
Sitting in rage on the sidewalk
As the sun beats down on his aching head
A laborer, cast aside

The roar of machines fuels his unrest
Can you still suppress it all
The laughter of your wife and children at home
Lift you up to keep going

Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

The severance pay that you've pocketed
Isn't enough to ease your anguish
The sharp blade of your fist
Leads you to the prison door

Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

The tears of pus from your eyes
Can't make them feel an ounce of pity
The festering wound in your soul
Means nothing to them

Darkness now becomes your closest friend
Darkness fills your every waking hour
You contemplate in your stuffy cell
You scream, trying to fight back

An elderly man
Sitting in rage on the sidewalk
As the sun beats down on his aching head
A laborer, cast aside

The severance pay that you've pocketed
Isn't enough to ease your anguish
The sharp blade of your fist
Leads you to the prison door

Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
