News To A friend
Perjalanan ini terasa sangat menyedihkan,Sayang, engkau tak duduk di sampingku kawan,
Banyak cerita yang mestinya kau saksikan,
Di tanah kering berbatuan.
Tubuh ku terguncang di hempas batu jalanan,
Hati tergetar menampak kering rerumputan,
Perjalanan ini pun seperti jadi saksi,
Gembala kecil menangis sedih...
Kawan coba dengar apa jawabnya,
Ketika ia ku tanya "Mengapa?"...
Bapak ibunya telah lama mati,
Ditelan bencana tanah ini...
Sesampeinya di laut,
Ku khabarkan semuanya,
Kepada karang, kepada ombak, kepada matahari...
Tetapi semua diam, tetapi semua bisu,
Tinggal aku sendiri terpaku menatap langit...
Barangkali di sana ada jawabnya,
Mengapa di tanahku terjadi bencana,
Mungkin Tuhan mulai bosan...
Melihat tingkah kita,
Yang selalu salah dan bangga dengan dosa-dosa...
Atau alam mulai enggan bersahabat dengan kita,
Coba kita bertanya pada...rumput yang bergoyang...

Eh, what's the name of the guy that wrote this lyric again? Bob Dylan of Indonesia, you said? You were trying to sing it the other day.
ebiet g. ade. an Indonesian singer and songwriter whose songs are mostly about the suppressed society in his nation.
Very bob dylan like. Writes his own songs and never one who collaborates with other musicians for musical arrangements and shit.
And for a moment there I thought you also write beautiful things in Malay too. *sigh*
p/s : Brace yourself, babe! I'm coming back for Christmas.
Cheers, Aust.
