Текст и перевод песни Hetty Koes Endang - Tangan Tak Sampai

Tangan Tak Sampai

Pernahkah kau dengarkan burung-burung bernyanyi?
Pernahkah kau dengarkan dia menangis?
Tawa dan tangis yang kudengar sangat merdunya
Ataukah memang aku tak tahu senandungnya?

Kuingat ada senyum yang abadi di bibirmu
Mengapa tiada lagi kini, sayang?
Semua duka yang kau alami sudah nasibmu
Untuk apa kau sembunyikan senyum di bibirmu?

Walau ingin hatimu memeluk gunung
Manalah mungkin tangan tak sampai
Walau ingin hatimu memetik bintang
Manalah mungkin tiada sayapmu

Biarlah yang hitam menjadi hitam
Jangan harapkan jadi putih
Biarlah rembulan di atas sana
Manalah mungkin turun ke sini

Lihatlah, malam ini kau tak lagi sendiri
Bolehkah ku ingin menemani, sayang?
Ingin kudengar ceritamu tentang hidupmu
Nikmatilah apa yang kau dapat di dunia

Walau ingin hatimu memeluk gunung
Manalah mungkin tangan tak sampai
Walau ingin hatimu memetik bintang
Manalah mungkin tiada sayapmu

Biarlah yang hitam menjadi hitam
Jangan harapkan jadi putih
Biarlah rembulan di atas sana
Manalah mungkin turun ke sini

Hands Can't Reach

Have you ever heard the birds sing?
Have you ever heard them cry?
The laughter and tears I hear are so sweet
Or do I just not understand their melody?

I remember an eternal smile on your lips
Why is it gone now, darling?
All the sorrow you experience is your fate
Why do you hide the smile on your lips?

Though your heart wants to embrace the mountain
How can it be, when hands can't reach?
Though your heart wants to pluck a star
How can it be, when you have no wings?

Let black be black
Don't expect it to turn white
Let the moon stay up there
How can it possibly come down here?

Look, tonight you are no longer alone
Can I keep you company, darling?
I want to hear your story about your life
Enjoy what you have in this world

Though your heart wants to embrace the mountain
How can it be, when hands can't reach?
Though your heart wants to pluck a star
How can it be, when you have no wings?

Let black be black
Don't expect it to turn white
Let the moon stay up there
How can it possibly come down here?
