Paroles et traduction Iwan Fals - Kuda Lumping

Kuda Lumping

Kuda lumping nasibnya nungging
Mencari makan terpontang-panting
Aku juga dianggap sinting
Sebenarnya siapa yang sinting?

Dalam lingkaran berputar-putar
Menari tak sadarkan diri
Mata terpejam mengunyah beling
Mempertahankan hidup yang sulit

Kuda lumping nasibnya nungging
Mencari makan terpontang-panting
Aku juga dianggap sinting
Sebenarnya siapa yang sinting?

Mulutnya berbusa
Nasibnya berbusa
Tradisi berbusa
Tradisi amblas

Penari bernyanyi
(Sebelum) tergilas mati
(Sunyi) hati sang penari
(Sebab) hidup mereka telah tersisih

(Sunyi) Penari bernyanyi
(Sebelum) tergilas mati
(Sunyi) hati sang penari
(Sebab) hidup mereka telah tersisih

Berdasi sutra pandai menipu
Membabi buta cari mangsa
Mulut penipu berbau busuk
Mempertahankan hidup yang busuk

Para penipu berkeliaran
Makan tanah memperkosa fakta
Saling menipu sesama penipu
Tidak menipu jadinya tertipu

Mulutnya berbusa
Nasibnya berbusa
Tradisi berbusa
Tradisi amblas

(Sunyi) Penipu menyanyi
(Sebelum) mereka mati
(Sunyi) hati sang penipu
(Sebab) tak bisa menipu diri sendiri

(Sunyi) Penipu menyanyi
(Sebelum) mereka mati
(Sunyi) hati sang penipu
(Sebab) tak bisa menipu diri sendiri

Kuda lumping megap-megap
Pelan-pelan ditelan zaman
Para penipu tunggu saatmu
Kuda lumping menginjak mulutmu

Kuda lumping nasibnya nungging
Mencari makan terpontang-panting
Aku juga dianggap sinting
Sebenarnya siapa yang sinting?

Para penipu berkeliaran
Makan tanah memperkosa fakta
Saling menipu sesama penipu
Tidak menipu jadinya tertipu

Kuda lumping megap-megap
Pelan-pelan ditelan zaman
Para penipu tunggu saatmu
Kuda lumping menginjak mulutmu

Horse Trance

The horse trance, its fate is bent,
Scrambling for food, struggling intent.
I too, am considered insane,
But darling, who's truly deranged?

In circles they twirl and sway,
Dancing, lost in a trance's play.
Eyes closed, chewing glass they seem,
Clinging to life, a difficult dream.

The horse trance, its fate is bent,
Scrambling for food, struggling intent.
I too, am considered insane,
But darling, who's truly deranged?

Their mouths foam white,
Their fate foams white,
Tradition foams white,
Tradition collapses, takes flight.

The dancers sing their plight,
(Before) they're crushed by might,
(Silent) are the dancers' hearts,
(Because) their lives have been torn apart.

(Silent) The dancers sing their plight,
(Before) they're crushed by might,
(Silent) are the dancers' hearts,
(Because) their lives have been torn apart.

Silk ties hide deceitful minds,
Blindly seeking prey they find.
Deceivers' mouths reek with decay,
Clinging to a rotten, foul way.

The deceivers roam and prowl,
Eating dirt, raping truth's avowal.
Deceiving each other, a twisted game,
Those who don't deceive become the lame.

Their mouths foam white,
Their fate foams white,
Tradition foams white,
Tradition collapses, takes flight.

(Silent) Deceivers sing their plight,
(Before) they meet their night,
(Silent) are the deceivers' hearts,
(Because) they can't deceive their own parts.

(Silent) Deceivers sing their plight,
(Before) they meet their night,
(Silent) are the deceivers' hearts,
(Because) they can't deceive their own parts.

The horse trance gasps and sighs,
Slowly swallowed by time's demise.
Deceivers, your time will come,
The horse trance will trample your tongue.

Ho-ho-ho-ho ho-ho-ho collapse oh
