Imbang - Iwan Fals перевод на английский

Imbang

Memang sulit untuk seimbang
Tapi kita menuju ke sana
Tanpa itu kita terjengkang
Dan jadi bahan tertawaan

Tanpa sadar itulah janji
Suka tak suka sudah terjadi
Ayo, ayo, ayolah sayang
Layar ini sudah terkembang

Suka duka itu biasa
Ada suka begitupun duka
Semenjak dulu dari jaman batu
Cerita ini bertalu-talu

Tertatih-tatih kita berjalan di titian
Terengap-engap di tengah-tengah gelombang
Terkadang terpeleset jatuh kesakitan
Namun kita bisa belajar dari batu-batu karang

Kehidupan masih terus berjalan
Masih banyak yang bisa kita kerjakan
Pertengkaran demi pertengkaran masih akan kita lalui
Tanpa itu tentu tak ada harmoni

Seperti baik buruk, seperti hitam putih
Itulah kita jauh dari sempurna
Kita tumbuh, kita wariskan semuanya
Sebagai bekal kehidupan selanjutnya

Memang sulit untuk seimbang
Tapi kita menuju ke sana
Tanpa itu kita terjengkang
Dan jadi bahan tertawaan

Tanpa sadar itulah janji
Suka tak suka sudah terjadi
Ayo, ayo, ayolah sayang
Layar ini sudah terkembang

Tertatih-tatih kita berjalan di titian
Terengap-engap di tengah-tengah gelombang
Terkadang terpeleset jatuh kesakitan
Namun kita bisa belajar dari batu-batu karang

Yeah!

Balanced

It's hard to find balance, indeed
But we're headed in that direction
Without it, we'll fall over
And become a laughingstock

Without realizing, that's the promise
Whether we like it or not, it's happened
Come on, come on, my dear
This sail has already been unfurled

Happiness and sadness are common
There's happiness, and there's also sadness
Since the time of the Stone Age
This story has been told over and over again

We walk unsteadily on the plank
Gasping for breath in the midst of the waves
Sometimes we slip and fall painfully
But we can learn from the stones

Life still goes on
There's still much we can do
We will still go through arguments and fights
Without them, there would be no harmony

Like good and bad, like black and white
That's us, far from perfect
We grow, we pass it all on
As provisions for our next life

It's hard to find balance, indeed
But we're headed in that direction
Without it, we'll fall over
And become a laughingstock

Without realizing, that's the promise
Whether we like it or not, it's happened
Come on, come on, my dear
This sail has already been unfurled

We walk unsteadily on the plank
Gasping for breath in the midst of the waves
Sometimes we slip and fall painfully
But we can learn from the stones

Yeah!
