Hola Hivers
Great to have a chance to be back to take a part on Hive music festival Week N °121 on #musiczone community. As the matter of fact and not trying to exxagerrate, I am very happy to get the opportunity to introduce you all, the hivers all around the world, songs from musicians of my country, Indonesia. I am not to very good in English songs due to my youth did not often to listen to western music. Only few of western song memorable in my head. But I believed, in music, whatever language you sing a long, the good music will reach its listeners in different part of the world. For today, I will bring you the song that originally belong to collaboration of duo legend musicians from Indonesia name IWAN FALS & FRANKY SAHILATUA with the tittle of the song "TERMINAL". Both musician was recognized with their music that represent the marginal, poor, or urban that always discriminated by the state. Those singers was composed so many protest songs in lyrics that very strong and deep with very easy on ear in its rhythm. Music is always become one of the best way to critisize so many unacceptable things happen in our community. No matter what genre of the music they are, we also known world musician like Tracy Chapman, John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Eminem, etc who are sounding the unfairness that happen to the people. Music also very effective to spread peace and harmony all over the world. That's I love to cover various song with strong messages on its lyrics. As the song that I cover for this ocassion "TERMINAL" with the background story of marginal community in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia that already become symbolized song of rebellion that sing in many street musicians in In here.
Here is the lyrics and English Translation...
Hangatnya matahari membakar tapak kaki
Siang itu di sebuah terminal yang tak rapi
Wajah pejalan kaki kusut mengutuk hari
Jari-jari kekar kondektur genit goda daki
The warmth of the sun burns the soles of the feet
That afternoon at a messy terminal
The faces of the pedestrians are wrinkled, cursing the day
The conductor's muscular fingers flirtatiously tease Daki
Dari sebelah warung
sebuah WC umum
Irama Melayu terdengar
akrab mengalun
From next to the stall,
a public toilet
A familiar Malay rhythm
Can be heard flowing
Iringi deru mesin-mesin
Iringi tangis yang kemarin
Accompany the roar of machines
Accompany yesterday's cries
Bocah kurus tak berbaju yang tak kenal bapaknya
Tajam matamu liar mencari mangsa
Ramai para pedagang datang tawarkan barang
Ratap pengemis bak meriam dalam perang
A thin, shirtless boy who doesn't know his father
their sharp eyes are wildly looking for prey
Many traders come to offer goods
The wails of beggars are like cannons in war*
Iringi deru mesin-mesin
Iringi tangis yang kemarin
Accompany the roar of machines
Accompany yesterday's cries*
Aku datangi kamu lewat lagu
Kudatangi kamu
Langitku masih biru
Nyanyian duka, nyanyian suka
Tarian duka, tarian suka
Apakah ada bedanya?
I come to you through a song
I come to you
My sky is still blue
Songs of sorrow, songs of joy
Dance of sorrow, dance of joy
Is there a difference?
Here is the original one...
