Paroles et traduction Iwan Fals - Air Mata Api

Air Mata Api

Aku adalah lelaki tengah malam
Ayahku harimau, ibuku ular
Aku dijuluki orang sisa-sisa
Sebab kerap merintih, kerap menjerit

Temanku gitar, temanku lagu
Nyanyikan tangis, marah, dan cinta
Temanku niat, temanku semangat
Yang kian hari kian berkarat
Semakin berkarat

Aku berjalan orang cibirkan mulut
Aku bicara mereka tutup hidung
Aku tersinggung peduli nilai-nilai
Aku datangi dengan segunung api

Mereka lari ke ketiak ibunya
'Ku tak peduli marahku pun menjadi
Mereka lari ke meja ayahnya
Aku tak mampu tenagaku terkuras

Lelaki tengah malam terkulai di tepi malam
(Lelaki tengah malam terkulai di tepi malam)
Lelaki tengah malam terkulai di tepi malam
(Lelaki tengah malam terkulai di tepi malam)
Orang sisa-sisa menangis
Orang sisa-sisa menangis
Air matanya
Air matanya
Air matanya
Api!

Aku berjalan orang cibirkan mulut
Aku bicara mereka tutup hidung
Aku tersinggung peduli nilai-nilai
Aku datangi dengan segunung api

Mereka lari ke ketiak ibunya
'Ku tak peduli marahku pun menjadi
Mereka lari ke meja ayahnya
Aku tak mampu tenagaku habis terkuras

Lelaki tengah malam terkulai di tepi malam
(Lelaki tengah malam terkulai di tepi malam)
Lelaki tengah malam terkulai di tepi malam
(Lelaki tengah malam terkulai di tepi malam)
Orang sisa-sisa menangis
Orang sisa-sisa menangis
Air matanya
Air matanya
Air matanya
Api!

Air matanya
Air matanya
Air matanya
Api!

Tears of Fire

I am a midnight man
My father is a tiger, my mother is a snake
I was nicknamed the leftovers
Because I often moan, often scream

My friend guitar, my friend song
Sing tears, anger, and love
My friend intention, my friend spirit
That day by day are increasingly rusty
Getting rustier

I walk people sneer at the mouth
I talk they cover their noses
I am offended by the values
I come with a mountain of fire

They run to their mother's armpits
I don't care how angry I become
They run to their father's desk
I am not able to drain my energy

Midnight man slumps at the edge of the night
(Midnight man slumps at the edge of the night)
Midnight man slumps at the edge of the night
(Midnight man slumps at the edge of the night)
The leftovers cry
The leftovers cry
Their tears
Their tears
Their tears
Fire!

I walk people sneer at the mouth
I talk they cover their noses
I am offended by the values
I come with a mountain of fire

They run to their mother's armpits
I don't care how angry I become
They run to their father's desk
I am not able to drain all my energy

Midnight man slumps at the edge of the night
(Midnight man slumps at the edge of the night)
Midnight man slumps at the edge of the night
(Midnight man slumps at the edge of the night)
The leftovers cry
The leftovers cry
Their tears
Their tears
Their tears
Fire!

Their tears
Their tears
Their tears
Fire!
