Original Lyrics
Bun, hidup berjalan seperti bajingan
Seperti landak yang tak punya teman
Ia menggonggong bak suara hujan
Dan kau pangeranku mengambil peran
Bun, kalau saat hancur 'ku disayang
Apalagi saat kujadi juara
Saat tak tahu arah kau di sana
Menjadi gagah saat 'ku tak bisa
Sedikit kujelaskan tentangku dan kamu
Agar seisi dunia tahu
Keras kepalaku sama denganmu
Caraku marah, caraku tersenyum
Seperti detak jantung yang bertaut
Nyawaku nyala kar'na denganmu
Aku masih ada sampai di sini
Melihatmu kuat setengah mati
Seperti detak jantung yang bertaut
Nyawaku nyala kar'na denganmu
Bun, aku masih tak mengerti banyak hal
Semuanya berenang di kepala
Dan kau dan semua yang kau tahu tentangnya
Menjadi jawab saat 'ku bertanya
Sedikit kujelaskan tentangku dan kamu
Agar seisi dunia tahu
Keras kepalaku sama denganmu
Caraku marah, caraku tersenyum
Seperti detak jantung yang bertaut
Nyawaku nyala kar'na denganmu
Aku masih ada sampai di sini
Melihatmu kuat setengah mati
Seperti detak jantung yang bertaut
Nyawaku nyala kar'na denganmu
Semoga lama hidupmu di sini
Melihatku berjuang sampai akhir
Seperti detak jantung yang bertaut
Nyawaku nyala kar'na denganmu
Lyrics Translation
Mother [1], life goes on like a bastard
Like a porcupine with no friend
Barking like the sound of rain
And you are my prince, taking up a role
Mother, if even when I shatter, I am loved
surely it'll be more when I am the winner
When I lose direction, you are there
Standing gallantly when I can't
I'll tell a little bit about me and you
so that the whole world knows
My stubbornness is similar to you
The way I blow up [2], the way I smile
Like a heartbeat that is linked
My soul lights up because it's with you
I am still here right at this moment
watching you stay strong through any hell [3]
Like a heartbeat that is linked
My soul lights up because it's with you
Mother, I still don't know a lot of things
Everything is swimming inside my head
While you and everything you know about them
become the answer when I ask the questions
I'll tell a little bit about me and you
so that the whole world knows
My stubbornness is similar to you
The way I blow up, the way I smile
Like a heartbeat that is linked
My soul lights up because it's with you
I am still here right at this moment
watching you stay strong through any hell
Like a heartbeat that is linked
My soul lights up because it's with you
May you live long here in this place
to see me fighting until the end
Like a heartbeat that is linked
My soul lights up because it's with you
Translation Notes
- "Bun” is short from “Bunda”, which means “Mother” in Indonesian.
- “Marah” means “angry”, which I translated as “blow up” in this post.
- “Kuat setengah mati” is a synonym for “very strong” or “deadly strong”, which I liberally translated as “stay strong through any hell” in this post.
