Текст и перевод песни Iwan Fals - Tolong Dengar Tuhan

Tolong Dengar Tuhan

Oh Tuhan
Apakah kau dengar?
Jerit umatmu
Diselah tebalnya debu

Oh Tuhan
Adakah kau murung?
Melihat beribu wajah berkabung
Disisa gelegar Galunggung

Oh Tuhan
Tamatkan saja
Cerita pembantaian orang desa
Yang jelas hidup tak manja

Oh Tuhan
Katanya engkau maha bijaksana
Tolong Galunggung pindahkan ke kota
Dimana tempat segala macam dosa

Berat beban kau datangkan
Pada mereka disana
Cela apa nista apa
Hingga engkau begitu murka
Sungguh ku tak mengerti

Hingar tangis karena adabmu
Setiap detik duka berpadu
Semakin keras jerit tak puas
Dari mereka yang resah bertanya
Adilkah keputusanmu?

Acap kali rintih memaki
Setiap duka tuding Ilahi
Jangan salahkan kecewa kami
Bosan dalam irama takdirmu
Walau ku tak terganggu

Bukankah kau maha tahu
Pengasih penyayang
Namun mengapa selalu saja
Itu hanya cerita

Oh Tuhan
Tolong hentikan
Oh Tuhan
Dengar rintihan
Amuk lahar yang datang hanguskan bumi
Tinggalkan arang penghuni desa pergi
Gemuruh batu hancurkan saudaraku
Ulurkan tangan bantulah sesamamu
Tuhan
Salah apakah mereka?

Please Listen, My Lord

Oh Lord
Can you hear?
Your people's cries
Amidst the thick dust

Oh Lord
Are you sad?
To see thousands of mourning faces
In the aftermath of Galunggung's roar

Oh Lord
Just end it
The story of the village massacre
Where life was clearly harsh

Oh Lord
You are said to be all-wise
Please move Galunggung to the city
Where sins of all kinds abound

You have brought heavy burdens
Upon the people there
What crime, what disgrace
Has angered you so much?
Truly, I do not understand

Wailing and mourning due to your will
Every second, grief and pain combine
Cries of anguish grow louder
From those who ask in despair,
Is your judgment fair?

Often, moans and curses
Every sorrow accuses the Divine
Do not blame our despair
Weary of the rhythm of your fate
Though I remain unmoved

Are you not all-knowing?
Compassionate and merciful
Yet why is it always
Just a tale?

Oh Lord
Please stop it
Oh Lord
Hear their cries
Lava's fury scorches the earth
Leaving charred ruins and villagers lost
Boulders thunder, crushing my kin
Extend your hand and aid your fellow man
My Lord
What was their fault?
