Paroles et traduction Iwan Fals - Sentuhan

Sentuhan

Lonceng menandakan pukul satu malam tiba
Bisingnya jalan di muka rumahku tampak semakin reda
Lengking suara kota satu persatu pulas
Dibelai udara malam yang semakin dingin

Kantuk yang kuharap menyergapku tak kunjung datang
Sedangkan malam semakin larut
Sementara dari jauh jelas kudengar
Suara roda kereta menggilas rel semakin keras

Kini aku teringat
Pada desaku yang masih terpencil
Dengan mayoritas petani yang ramah tamah
Bila menyambutku datang dari kota

Sementara saja timbul di benakku
Aku buat rencana pergi ke sana
Dengan kereta 'kan kujumpa desaku

Sebab aku telah rindu
Bau lumpur sawah
Dan aroma pepohonan

Kini aku teringat
Pada desaku yang masih terpencil
Dengan mayoritas petani yang ramah tamah
Bila menyambutku datang dari kota

Sementara saja timbul di benakku
Aku buat rencana pergi ke sana
Dengan kereta 'kan kujumpa desaku

Sebab aku telah rindu
Bau lumpur sawah
Dan aroma pepohonan

A Touch

The bells toll midnight's arrival
The noise from the street outside my house slowly dies down
The city's cries gradually fall silent
Soothed by the increasingly cold night air

The sleep I long for doesn't come
And the night grows later
While in the distance I can clearly hear
The sound of train wheels on the tracks, growing louder

Now I'm reminded
Of my village that's still remote
With a majority of friendly farmers
Who would welcome me when I arrived from the city

A thought briefly crosses my mind
I make plans to go there
I will take the train to my village

Because I miss
The smell of the muddy rice fields
And the fragrance of the trees

Now I'm reminded
Of my village that's still remote
With a majority of friendly farmers
Who would welcome me when I arrived from the city

A thought briefly crosses my mind
I make plans to go there
I will take the train to my village

Because I miss
The smell of the muddy rice fields
And the fragrance of the trees
