Paroles et traduction Iwan Fals - Columbia

Columbia

Langit nampak murung seperti gelisah
Angin bawa kabar tentang duka di sana

Lolong anjing malam bawa pertanda
Alam bawa kisah unggas resah
Be-ri-ta-kan tangis

Saat gelombang lahar hanyutkan ribuan manusia
Tanpa mau mengerti datang tepati janji

Waktu seorang ibu belai mesra anaknya
Gemuruhnya petaka singkirkan jeritan yang ada

Batu-batu telanjang menari di nurani
Hancurkan rumah-rumah, hancurkan kedamaian

Co-lom-bi-a
Co-lom-bi-a
Co-lom-bi-a
Co-lom-bi-a

Sementara kita di sini
Tanpa beban bernyanyi
Sedangkan mereka gundah
Di sela ganasnya wabah

Sementara kita di sini
Asyik cumbui mimpi
Sedangkan mereka di sana
Rindukan riuhnya pesta

Ada sekuntum bunga mekar
Bercengkerama dengan lahar

Seorang bayi mungil
Begitu manis menyambut mati

Co-lom-bi-a
Co-lom-bi-a

Sementara kita di sini
Tanpa beban bernyanyi
Sedangkan mereka gundah
Di sela ganasnya wabah

Sementara kita di sini
Asyik cumbui mimpi
Sedangkan mereka di sana
Rindukan riuhnya pesta

Columbia

The sky looks sad as if it's anxious
The wind bears news of mourning

The howling of dogs at night brings an omen
Nature brings tales of troubled birds
Telling of cries

When waves of lava swept away thousands of people
Without understanding that you came to keep your promise

As a mother caressed her child
The rumbling disaster silenced the screams

Bare rocks dance in my conscience
Destroying homes, destroying peace

Co-lom-bi-a
Co-lom-bi-a
Co-lom-bi-a
Co-lom-bi-a

While we are here
Singing without burden
While they are suffering
Amidst the fierce plague

While we are here
Lovingly kissing dreams
While they are there
Longing for the festive parties

There is a flower blooming
Chatting with the lava

A tiny baby
Patiently greets death

Co-lom-bi-a
Co-lom-bi-a

While we are here
Singing without burden
While they are suffering
Amidst the fierce plague

While we are here
Lovingly kissing dreams
While they are there
Longing for the festive parties
