Текст и перевод песни Iwan Fals - Robot Bernyawa

Robot Bernyawa

Lihatlah itu yang di sana
Orang berkumpul bising suaranya
Wajahnya merah dibakar marah
Sang dewa nasib sedang berduka

Di depan pabrik minta keadilan
Hanyalah janji membumbung tinggi
Tuntutan mereka membentur baja
Terus bekerja atau di-phk

Inilah lagu orang tak berdaya
Mencoba mempertanyakan haknya
Dituduh mengacau kerja
Dianggap pahlawan kesiangan, bisa berbahaya

Jangan bertanya, jangan bertingkah
Robot bernyawa teruslah bekerja
Sapi perahan di zaman modern
Mulut dikunci tak boleh bicara

Di depan pabrik minta keadilan
Hanyalah janji membumbung tinggi
Tuntutan mereka membentur baja
Terus bekerja atau di-phk

Inilah lagu orang tak berdaya
Mencoba mempertanyakan haknya
Dituduh mengacau kerja
Dianggap pahlawan kesiangan, bisa berbahaya

Inilah lagu orang tak berdaya
Mencoba mempertanyakan haknya
Dituduh mengacau kerja
Dianggap pahlawan kesiangan, bisa berbahaya

Inilah nasib orang-orang kalah
Hidup berjajar menciptakan mimpi indah
Bekerja terus bekerja
Mencoba membalik nasib, ternyata susah

Lihatlah itu yang di sana
Orang berkumpul bising suaranya
Wajahnya merah dibakar marah
Sang dewa nasib sedang berduka

Di depan pabrik minta keadilan
Hanyalah janji membumbung tinggi
Tuntutan mereka membentur baja
Terus bekerja atau di-phk

Jangan bertanya, jangan bertingkah
Robot bernyawa teruslah bekerja
Sapi perahan di zaman modern
Mulut dikunci tak bisa bicara

Lihatlah di sana
Orang berkumpul bising suaranya
Wajahnya merah dibakar marah
Sang dewa nasib sedang berduka

Di depan pabrik minta keadilan
Hanyalah janji membumbung tinggi
Tuntutan mereka membentur baja
Terus bekerja atau di-phk

Jangan bertanya, jangan bertingkah
Robot bernyawa teruslah bekerja
Sapi perahan
Lihatlah... Lihatlah

Living Robot

Look over there, my love
People gathered, voices loud and raw
Faces flushed, burning with anger's fire
The god of fate is in deep despair

In front of the factory, demanding what's right
Only promises soaring high above
Their demands clash against walls of steel
Keep working, darling, or face the sack

This is the song of the powerless, my dear
Trying to question what is rightfully theirs
Accused of disrupting the work, it's a shame
Seen as belated heroes, a potential danger, they claim

Don't ask, don't act, my sweet
Living robots, just keep working, I entreat
Milked cows in the modern age
Mouths locked shut, forbidden to engage

In front of the factory, demanding what's right
Only promises soaring high above
Their demands clash against walls of steel
Keep working, darling, or face the sack

This is the song of the powerless, my dear
Trying to question what is rightfully theirs
Accused of disrupting the work, it's a shame
Seen as belated heroes, a potential danger, they claim

This is the song of the powerless, my dear
Trying to question what is rightfully theirs
Accused of disrupting the work, it's a shame
Seen as belated heroes, a potential danger, they claim

This is the fate of the defeated, you see
Lives aligned, creating a beautiful dream, maybe
Working on, working ever
Trying to turn their fate, it's proving hard, however

Look over there, my love
People gathered, voices loud and raw
Faces flushed, burning with anger's fire
The god of fate is in deep despair

In front of the factory, demanding what's right
Only promises soaring high above
Their demands clash against walls of steel
Keep working, darling, or face the sack

Don't ask, don't act, my sweet
Living robots, just keep working, I entreat
Milked cows in the modern age
Mouths locked shut, unable to engage

Look over there, my love
People gathered, voices loud and raw
Faces flushed, burning with anger's fire
The god of fate is in deep despair

In front of the factory, demanding what's right
Only promises soaring high above
Their demands clash against walls of steel
Keep working, darling, or face the sack

Don't ask, don't act, my sweet
Living robots, just keep working, I entreat
Milked cows
Look... Look
