Paroles et traduction Laze feat. Ayub Jonn - Cerita Benar

Cerita Benar

Walau mengorbit ku belum menjadi bintang
Aku tak berteduh di bawah pohon luang yang rindang
Kau lihat aku atas panggung dalam foto insta
Balik ke apartement ku masih makan mie instan

Tiap pagi bangun mendorong mobil ayah
Ibu mendorong semangat supaya ku berupaya
Hatinya lunak namun kerjanya keras
Ia seorang dosen tapi ku tak naik kelas

Pindah rumah ke rumah, sembilan kali
Barang masih di dalam kardus sudah pindah lagi
Selang enam bulan alamat pun berbeda lagi
Sampai jual mobil lalu naik sepeda lagi

Orang pikir aku selalu hidup mewah
Itu karena mereka tak ada saat ku di bawah
Orang pikir aku tidak pernah sedih
Itu karena mereka hanya datang saat ku tertawa

Dalam malam yang kelam
Mencari setitik sinar
Tapi cahaya yang terang
Membuka sudut pandangnya

Dalam kelam yang dingin
Lalu dinyalakan api
Tapi hangat yang diberi
Butakan mata hati

Masa sekolah ikut geng, namun tak kenal gengsi
Tak tergoda wanita seksi, hanya mau hidup fancy
Bila harta itu darah, aku butuh pendonor
Tapi tetap angkut Jordan tiap kali dapat honor

Ibu kirim pesan "Jangan lupa lima-waktu"
Tapi aku ragu apa Tuhan akan terima aku
Merasa penuh noda pada Pencipta Semesta
Ayah pergi pimpin doa, ku pulang pimpin pesta

Kekasih berujar "ia rasa sepi"
Aku selalu sibuk kerja bagai tidak kenal letih
Lihat temen pergi kencan tapi buat apa iri
Berdua tak lebih baik daripada sendiri

Orang pikir aku selalu hidup mewah
Itu karena mereka tak ada saat ku di bawah
Orang pikir aku tidak pernah sedih
Itu karena mereka hanya datang saat ku tertawa

Dalam malam yang kelam
Mencari setitik sinar
Tapi cahaya yang terang
Membuka sudut pandangnya

Dalam kelam yang dingin
Lalu dinyalakan api
Tapi hangat yang diberi
Butakan mata hati

Mereka doakan aku agar panjang umur
Tapi aku lebih baik masuk ke dalam kubur
Daripada jadi tua tuk lihat dunia hancur
Namun sebelum pergi pastikan keluarga makmur

Dunia hiburan bukan tempat yang gampang
Ketenaran bagai bis, semua mau menumpang
Dan semua pun tau bahwa ku tidak tampan
Jadi bila berhasil pasti bukan karena tampang

Bila aku terkenal, jangan jadikan aku idola
Aku anak nakal yang sering bolos sekolah
Tuk berlomba tulis lirik rekam lagu di studio
Demi hadiah yang tak abadi, everybody know
Laze

Dalam malam yang kelam
Mencari setitik sinar
Tapi cahaya yang terang
Membuka sudut pandangnya

Dalam kelam yang dingin
Lalu dinyalakan api
Tapi hangat yang diberi
Butakan mata hati, yeah

True Story

Though I orbit, I haven't become a star yet
I don't shelter under the shade of a lush tree
You see me on stage in Insta photos
Back in my apartment, I still eat instant noodles

Every morning I wake up pushing my father's car
My mother pushes me to keep trying
Her heart is soft but her work is hard
She's a lecturer but I failed a grade

Moving from house to house, nine times
Stuff still in boxes, we're moving again
Every six months the address changes again
Until we sell the car and ride bikes again

People think I always live in luxury
That's because they weren't there when I was down
People think I'm never sad
That's because they only come when I laugh

In the dark night
Searching for a speck of light
But the bright light
Opens his perspective

In the cold darkness
Then a fire is lit
But the warmth that's given
Blinds the heart's eyes

In school days, I joined a gang, but I didn't know prestige
Not tempted by sexy women, just want to live fancy
If wealth is blood, I need a donor
But still haul Jordans every time I get a paycheck

Mom sends a message "Don't forget the five daily prayers"
But I doubt if God will accept me
Feeling full of stains before the Creator of the Universe
Dad goes to lead prayers, I come home to lead a party

My lover says "she feels lonely"
I'm always busy working like I don't know fatigue
Seeing friends go on dates but why be jealous
Being together is not better than being alone

People think I always live in luxury
That's because they weren't there when I was down
People think I'm never sad
That's because they only come when I laugh

In the dark night
Searching for a speck of light
But the bright light
Opens his perspective

In the cold darkness
Then a fire is lit
But the warmth that's given
Blinds the heart's eyes

They pray for me to have a long life
But I'd rather go into the grave
Than grow old to see the world crumble
But before I go, make sure the family is prosperous

The entertainment world is not an easy place
Fame is like a bus, everyone wants to ride
And everyone knows I'm not handsome
So if I succeed, it's definitely not because of looks

If I become famous, don't make me your idol
I'm a bad boy who often skips school
To compete in writing lyrics and recording songs in the studio
For a prize that's not eternal, everybody knows
Laze

In the dark night
Searching for a speck of light
But the bright light
Opens his perspective

In the cold darkness
Then a fire is lit
But the warmth that's given
Blinds the heart's eyes, yeah
