Lupa - Iwan Fals перевод на английский

Lupa

Menelusuri masa lalu tersendat-sendat
Bukan tak menghargai sejarah
Hanya kurang perhatian saja
Banyak hal yang lebih penting
Tinimbang menulis tanggal kejadian
Dan menyimpan foto-foto kenangan

Rupanya baru sekarang aku menyadari
Betapa pentingnya kenangan

Bermula dari rasa malas
Dan hal-hal yang tak ingin kuceritakan
Kalau bisa ya dihapus saja dari ingatan
Karena ya memang menyebalkan
Banyak tindakan-tindakan bodoh
Yang tak mesti kita lakukan

Berusaha melupakan, ya keterusan
Walau akhirnya banyak hal juga yang terlupakan

Aku mendapat pertanyaan tentang masa lalu
Tidak bisa tidak harus kujawab
Mata-mata kosong penuh rasa ingin tahu itu memaksaku
Ingin diisi dengan pandangan sesungguhnya
Terus terang aku gelagapan
Mana yang benar, mana yang tidak membaur menyatu

He-eya!

Inilah akibatnya kalau hanya melihat ke depan
Tak sadar kalau di belakang ekornya panjang
Dan tak mungkin aku diamkan
Menghapus jejak juga memakan banyak waktu
Dan lagi pula untuk apa
Hanya masalahnya aku lupa, ini jejakku atau bukan?

Cerita sudah berkembang sedemikian rupa
Menjadi kisah yang mengasyikkan
Sambil ngopi dan kudapan
Sejenak aku menengok ke belakang juga akhirnya
Tetapi ya tentu saja harus kulanjutkan perjalanan

Tentu saja dengan kamu di sampingku (di sampingku)
Tentu saja (tentu saja)dengan kamu di sampingku (di sampingku)
Di sampingku (di sampingku)
Di sampingku

Forgetfulness

When I try to trace my past, it's like my mind stutters and stammers
It's not that I don't value history
I guess I just haven't paid much attention
There are so many things that seem more important,
Than writing down the dates of events,
And keeping photos to remember them by.

But now I realize how important memories are,
I guess it's something that only comes with age.

It all started with a bit of laziness,
And some things I'd rather not talk about,
If I could, I'd erase them from my memory,
Because they're just so annoying,
All those stupid things I've done,
Things I never should have done.

I tried to forget, and I guess I succeeded,
But along the way, I also forgot a lot of other things.

Now, when people ask me about my past,
I can't help but answer them,
Their eyes are so full of curiosity, they force me to,
They want to see the truth,
So I stumble through my answers,
Trying to separate the truth from the fiction.

Oh, yeah!

This is what happens when you only look forward,
Without realizing that you're leaving a long tail behind you,
And now it's too late to stop it,
It would take too long to erase all my tracks,
And besides, what would be the point?
The only problem is, I've forgotten whose tracks these are.

The story has grown so much,
It's become a fascinating tale,
Over coffee and snacks,
I finally take a moment to look back,
But of course, I have to keep moving forward.

Of course, with you by my side (by my side)
Of course (of course) with you by my side (by my side)
By my side (by my side)
By my side
