Текст и перевод песни Iwan Fals - Surat Buat Wakil Rakyat

Surat Buat Wakil Rakyat

Untukmu yang duduk sambil diskusi
Untukmu yang biasa bersafari
Di sana, di gedung DPR

Wakil rakyat kumpulan orang hebat
Bukan kumpulan teman-teman dekat
Apalagi sanak famili

Di hati dan lidahmu kami berharap
Suara kami tolong dengar lalu sampaikan
Jangan ragu, jangan takut karang menghadang
Bicaralah yang lantang, jangan hanya diam!

Di kantong safarimu kami titipkan
Masa depan kami dan negeri ini
Dari Sabang sampai Merauke

Saudara dipilih bukan dilotre
Meski kami tak kenal siapa saudara
Kami tak sudi memilih para juara
Juara diam, juara he-eh, juara hahaha

Untukmu yang duduk sambil diskusi
Untukmu yang biasa bersafari
Di sana, di gedung DPR

Di hati dan lidahmu kami berharap
Suara kami tolong dengar lalu sampaikan
Jangan ragu, jangan takut karang menghadang
Bicaralah yang lantang, jangan hanya diam!

Wakil rakyat seharusnya merakyat
Jangan tidur waktu sidang soal rakyat
Wakil rakyat bukan paduan suara
Hanya tahu nyanyian lagu "setuju"

Wakil rakyat seharusnya merakyat
Jangan tidur waktu sidang soal rakyat
Wakil rakyat bukan paduan suara
Hanya tahu nyanyian lagu "setuju"

Wakil rakyat seharusnya merakyat
Jangan tidur waktu sidang soal rakyat
Wakil rakyat bukan paduan suara
Hanya tahu nyanyian lagu "setuju"

Wakil rakyat seharusnya merakyat
Jangan tidur waktu sidang soal rakyat
Wakil rakyat bukan paduan suara
Hanya tahu nyanyian lagu "setuju"

Wakil rakyat seharusnya merakyat
Jangan tidur waktu sidang soal rakyat
Wakil rakyat bukan paduan suara
Hanya tahu nyanyian lagu "setuju"

Wakil rakyat seharusnya merakyat
Jangan tidur waktu sidang soal rakyat
Wakil rakyat bukan paduan suara
Hanya tahu nyanyian lagu "setuju"

Wakil rakyat seharusnya merakyat
Jangan tidur waktu sidang soal rakyat
Bukan paduan suara
Hanya tahu nyanyian lagu "setuju"

Letter to the People's Representative

To you who sits in discussions
To you who are used to going on safaris
There, in the DPR building

People's representatives, a gathering of great people
Not a gathering of close friends
Let alone relatives

In your heart and on your tongue, we hope
You will hear our voices and convey them
Don't hesitate, don't be afraid of the reefs ahead
Speak loudly, don't just stay silent!

In your travel bags, we entrust
Our future and that of this country
From Sabang to Merauke

Brothers, you were chosen, not drawn in a lottery
Even though we don't know who you are
We don't want to choose champions
Champions of silence, champions of "yes", champions of "haha"

To you who sits in discussions
To you who are used to going on safaris
There, in the DPR building

In your heart and on your tongue, we hope
You will hear our voices and convey them
Don't hesitate, don't be afraid of the reefs ahead
Speak loudly, don't just stay silent!

People's representatives should be of the people
Don't sleep during sessions about the people
People's representatives are not a choir
They only know the song "agree"

People's representatives should be of the people
Don't sleep during sessions about the people
People's representatives are not a choir
They only know the song "agree"

People's representatives should be of the people
Don't sleep during sessions about the people
People's representatives are not a choir
They only know the song "agree"

People's representatives should be of the people
Don't sleep during sessions about the people
People's representatives are not a choir
They only know the song "agree"

People's representatives should be of the people
Don't sleep during sessions about the people
People's representatives are not a choir
They only know the song "agree"

People's representatives should be of the people
Don't sleep during sessions about the people
People's representatives are not a choir
They only know the song "agree"

People's representatives should be of the people
Don't sleep during sessions about the people
Not a choir
They only know the song "agree"
