Hola Hivers !!!

We are back to celebrate weekly music event on our beloved platform, Hive! Nice to greet you all through this post. For this time, the theme given is "Stories of The Night". I really like this theme. Night's life is always interesting to talk about. Of course, for musicians like us, to talk about it by sing a song is a very bless way indeed. Well, I have a special old song, still from my country, Indonesia, An old song that originally belong to legend female singer, Titiek Puspa (She's 84 now) that recycled by one of my favorite band, NOAH. The tittle of the song "Kupu-Kupu Malam" the phrase that refers to "Sex Comercial Worker". This song is dedicated to the people who try to survive by doing this kind of work. This song describes the reality show that usually find in the corners of the street when the night is coming. Showtime beibeehh!!!!

Here is the lyrics and its English translation...

Ada yang benci dirinya
Ada yang butuh dirinya
Ada yang berlutut mencintainya
Ada pula yang kejam menyiksa dirinya

There are people hate her
There are people need her
There are people kneel on her
There are people torturing her

Ini hidup wanita si Kupu-Kupu Malam
Bekerja, bertaruh seluruh jiwa raga
Bibir senyum, kata halus merayu, memanja
Kepada setiap mereka yang datang

This is a life of women of night butterfly
Work, bet the whole soul
Smiling lips, soft words seducing, pampering
To everyone who comes

Dosakah yang dia kerjakan?
Sucikah mereka yang datang?
Kadang dia tersenyum dalam tangis
Kadang dia menangis di dalam senyuman

What sin did she commit?
Are those who come holy?
Sometimes she smiles in tears
Sometimes she cries in a smile

Wo-oh, apa yang terjadi, terjadilah
Yang dia tahu Tuhan, penyayang umat-Nya
Wo-oh, apa yang terjadi, terjadilah
Yang dia tahu hanyalah menyambung nyawa

Wo-oh, what happened, happened
All she knows is God, merciful to His people
Wo-oh, what happened, happened
All she knows is to continue his life

That was a different approach to the topic, a reality that is not always easy for some people. Thanks for sharing this other side of the coin.
