Paroles et traduction Iwan Fals - Seperti Matahari

Seperti Matahari

Keinginan adalah sumber penderitaan
Tempatnya di dalam pikiran
Tujuan bukan utama
Yang utama adalah prosesnya

Kita hidup mencari bahagia
Harta dunia kendaraannya
Bahan bakarnya budi pekerti
Itulah nasehat para nabi

Ingin bahagia derita didapat
Karena ingin sumber derita
Harta dunia jadi penggoda
Membuat miskin jiwa kita

Ada benarnya nasehat orang-orang suci
Memberi itu terangkan hati
Seperti matahari yang menyinari bumi
Yang menyinari bumi

Ingin bahagia derita didapat
Karena ingin sumber derita
Harta dunia jadi penggoda
Membuat miskin jiwa kita

Keinginan adalah sumber penderitaan

Like the Sun

Desires are the source of suffering
Their home is in the mind
Destination is not the main thing
The main thing is the process

We live searching for happiness
Worldly possessions are its vehicle
Its fuel is good manners
That is the advice of the prophets

Seeking happiness brings suffering
Because desire is the source of suffering
Worldly possessions become a temptation
Making our souls poor

There is truth in the advice of the holy ones
Giving lights up the heart
Like the sun that shines on the earth
That shines on the earth

Seeking happiness brings suffering
Because desire is the source of suffering
Worldly possessions become a temptation
Making our souls poor

Desires are the source of suffering
