Hello, my brothers and sisters, we are trying to participate in the weekly #openmic week 101. On this occasion, our band performed a cover of the song entitled "Free Independent" (Free Independent). This song was popularized by a reggae band from Jakarta named "Steven & Coconut Treez".
In our opinion, this song describes the freedom of a human being to do anything in his life. The lyrics in this song tell about humans who live life as they are, independent and unaffected by other people's words. So, we agreed to perform this song because it fits this week's theme, "Freedom of Expression".
The lyrics of the songs that we bring;
Banyak yang bertanya
Aku ini mau jadi apa
Kok nggak kuliah juga nggak kerja
Tapi ku jawab inilah aku apa adanya yeah
Tapi jangan kira
Aku gak berbuat apa-apa
Aku berkarya dengan yang ku bisa
Dan yang penting aku bahagia
Yang penting aku gak nipu
Gak bikin susah kalian
Yang penting gak terlibat
3 7 8
Kujalani apa adanya
Aku bahagia
Bebas lepas tanpa beban
Aku merdeka
If translated into English, the lyrics of this song are;
Many are asking
What do I want to be?
Why don't you go to college and you don't work?
But I answered this is what I am yeah
But don't think
I didn't do anything
I work with what I can
And most importantly I'm happy
The important thing is that I don't cheat
Don't make it hard for you
The important thing is not to get involved
3 7 8
I live as is
I am happy
Free to lose without the burden
I'm free
