Paroles et traduction Iwan Fals - Gelisah

Gelisah

Anak muda di ujung jalan
Petik gitar jilati malam
Mata merah hatinya berdarah
Sebab apa tiada yang mau tahu

Pada kelelawar ia mengadu
Pada lampu-lampu jalan sandarkan angan
Pada nada-nada lontarkan marah
Pada alam raya ia berterus terang
Aku gelisah

Orang tua di remang-remang
Cari teman hamburkan uang
Senyum ramah tak ada di rumah
Sebab apa tiada yang mau tahu

Pada kelelawar ia mengadu
Pada lampu-lampu jalan sandarkan angan
Pada nada-nada lontarkan marah
Pada alam raya ia berterus terang
Aku gelisah
Aku gelisah
Aku gelisah
Aku gelisah

Gelisah jiwa bagai prahara
Orang muda orang tua
Penuh amarah membabi buta
Gelisah hidup penjara dunia
Padang gelisah panas membara
Hutan gelisah memagar hidup
Gelisah langit muntahkan badai
Kebimbangan lahirkan gelisah
Jiwa gelisah bagai halilintar
Aku gelisah
Aku gelisah

Orang-orang saling bertengkar
Untuk apa bukan soal lagi
Keserakahan sudah menjadi nabi
Kekuasaan adalah jalan keluar

Pada kelelawar ia mengadu
Pada lampu-lampu jalan sandarkan angan
Pada nada-nada lontarkan marah
Pada alam raya ia berterus terang
Aku gelisah
Aku gelisah
Aku gelisah
Aku gelisah

Orang muda penuh luka
Terkoyak nasib tertikam gelisah
Membalik hidup menerkam nasib
Gelisah badan gelisah tidur
Lingkaran gelisah lingkaran setan
Menggelinding datang dan pergi
Adakah orang tidak gelisah
Gelisah, gelisah, dunia gelisah
Aku pun gelisah
Aku gelisah
Aku gelisah

Uneasy

A young person at the crossroads of life
Plucks away at their guitar, soothing the night
With bloodshot eyes and a heavy heart
For reasons unknown and a need for respite

They confide in bats as they pass
And rest their hopes on the street lamps that glow
Through melodies, they release their pain
And unburden their soul to the open sky
I am uneasy

An elderly man in the shadows dim
Seeks solace in spending money Among friends
A friendly smile is absent from their home
For reasons unknown and a need to pretend

They confide in bats as they pass
And rest their hopes on the street lamps that glow
Through melodies, they release their pain
And unburden their soul to the open sky
I am uneasy
I am uneasy
I am uneasy
I am uneasy

Restlessness courses through our spirits like a storm
The young and the old
Filled with blind rage
Uneasy in this earthly prison
The fields ablaze with unease
The forests enclosing our lives in unease
The skies churning with storms of unease
Uncertainty breeds unease
Our souls restless as lightning
I am uneasy
I am uneasy

People clash and quarrel
For reasons that are inconsequential
Greed has become our guiding light
And power the only solution in sight

They confide in bats as they pass
And rest their hopes on the street lamps that glow
Through melodies, they release their pain
And unburden their soul to the open sky
I am uneasy
I am uneasy
I am uneasy
I am uneasy

The youth bear scars so deep
Torn by fate and pierced by unease
They grapple with life, challenging their destiny
Unease in their bodies, unease in their sleep
A vicious cycle, an endless loop
Repeating without respite
Is there anyone who escapes this unease?
Unease, unease, the world is uneasy
And I am uneasy too
I am uneasy
I am uneasy
