Paroles et traduction Iwan Fals - Robot Bernyawa

Robot Bernyawa

Lihatlah itu ya di sana
Orang berkumpul bising suaranya
Wajahnya merah dibakar marah
Sang dewa nasib sedang berduka

Di depan pabrik minta keadilan
Hanyalah janji membumbung tinggi
Tuntutan mereka membentur baja
Terus bekerja atau di-PHK

Inilah lagu orang tak berdaya
Mencoba mempertanyakan haknya
Dituduh pengacau kerja
Dianggap pahlawan kesiangan
Bisa berbahaya

Jangan bertanya, jangan bertingkah
Robot bernyawa teruslah bekerja
Sapi perahan di zaman modern
Mulut dikunci tak boleh bicara

Di depan pabrik minta keadilan
Hanyalah janji membumbung tinggi
Tuntutan mereka membentur baja
Terus bekerja atau di-PHK

Inilah lagu orang tak berdaya
Mencoba mempertanyakan haknya
Dituduh pengacau kerja
Dianggap pahlawan kesiangan
Bisa berbahaya

Inilah nasib orang-orang bawah
Tidur berjajar menciptakan mimpi indah
Bekerja terus bekerja
Mencoba membalik nasib
Ternyata susah

Soulless Robot

Look over there, my darling
People are gathering, making a lot of noise
Their faces are red with anger
The god of luck is mourning

In front of the factory, they demand justice
They only get empty promises
Their demands hit a wall
Keep working, or get laid off

This is the song of the powerless
Trying to question their rights
Accused of being troublemakers
Seen as heroes who are late to the party
It can be dangerous

Don't ask questions, don't act up
Soulless robot, keep working
Cash cow in the modern age
Mouths shut, no talking allowed

In front of the factory, they demand justice
They only get empty promises
Their demands hit a wall
Keep working, or get laid off

This is the song of the powerless
Trying to question their rights
Accused of being troublemakers
Seen as heroes who are late to the party
It can be dangerous

This is the fate of the downtrodden
Sleeping in rows, dreaming beautiful dreams
Working, working all the time
Trying to change their fate
But it's so hard
