Paroles et traduction Iwan Fals - 16 Juli 1996

16 Juli 1996

Kukenal kamu dari jauh
Tergetar hati melihatmu
Matamu bening, suaramu bening
Semangatmu hening
Wajahmu lembut, senyummu lembut
Rambutmu lepas tergerai

Terasa sejuk mengenalmu
Merdeka aku dibuaimu
Jalan yang panjang sebatas pandang
Kau tempuh tanpa mengeluh
Tangan terkepal berangkatlah kapal
Menuju dermaga sepi

Kunyanyikan hanya untukmu
Puja-puji ini karena rindu
Air mata terlanjur tumpah
Membasahi tanah menjadi darah
Dipayungi mega kelabu

Aku tak peduli apa yang terjadi
Jangan kau pergi dariku
Akan kutemani ke dermaga sepi
Membelai ombak yang biru

Kau bangkitkan aku, kupanggil kau selalu
Bertahanlah dalam gelombang
Kau buka mataku, kau sadarkan aku
Janganlah bosan

Kunyanyikan hanya untukmu
Puja-puji ini karena rindu
Air mata terlanjur tumpah
Membasahi tanah menjadi darah
Dipayungi mega kelabu

I knew you from afar
My heart was moved, as I watched you
Your eyes were clear, your voice was clear
Your spirit was quiet
Your face was soft, your smile was soft
Your hair was loose and flowing

It was calming to meet you
I was free in your embrace
The long road as far as the eye could see
You walked without complaint
Your hand gripped the ship's helm
Bound for a lonely dock

I sing only for you
This adoration is out of yearning
Tears had already started to fall
Soaking the earth in crimson
Sheltered by storm clouds

I don't care what happens
Don't you leave me
I will keep you company on the lonely docks
Caressing the azure waves

You awaken me, I call on you always
Stay strong amidst the storm
You opened my eyes, you made me aware
Don't give up

I sing only for you
This adoration is out of yearning
Tears had already started to fall
Soaking the earth in crimson
Sheltered by storm clouds
