Hey there, I'm back again on this week @openmic. After about a month didn't post anything in this platform, except two days ago when I did a bridging post by wrote a short essay, today I'm back doing a post on @HiveOpenMic week 15 by cover an in Indonesian song from one of my favourite band in Indonesia, The Rain. This band is originally coming from Jogjakarta, province in Central Java. The song that I cover on this video, the title is "Dengar Bisikku" or in English means "Listen to my whisper", was one of the hit of The Rain. Even though this song is almost decade long, it still covers by many musicians in Indonesia.
Here is the lyrics and its translation...
Kadang aku berfikir
Dapatkah kita terus coba
Mendayung perahu kita
Menyatukan ingin kita
Sometimes I think
Can we continue to try
Rowing our boat
Bringing together our wants
Sedang selalu saja
Khilaf yang kecil mengusik
Bagai angin berhembus kencang
Goyahkan kaki kita
Always always
The small mistake disturbing
Like a strong wind
Shake our legs
Reff:
Genggam tanganku jangan bimbang
Tak usahlah lagi dikenang
Naif diri yang pernah datang
Jadikan pelajaran sayang
Hold my hand don't worry
Never memorize again
Self-naive ever come
Make it a lesson dear
Dengar bisikanku oh dinda
Coba lapangkan dada kita
T'rima aku apa adanya
Jujur hati yang kita jaga
Listen to my whispers oh dear
Try stretching our heart
Accept me the way I am
Honest heart that we guard
Mengapa selalu saja
Khilaf yang kecil mengusik
Bagai ombak yang besar
Goyahkan kaki kita
Why always?
The small mistake made me annoy
Like big waves
Shake our legs
Back to Reff
Bila gundahmu tak menghilang
Hentikan dulu dayung kita
Bila kau ingin lupakan aku
Ku tak tahu apalah daya
If your anxiety doesn't disappear
Stop our paddle first
If you want to forget me
I don't know what can I say
Thanks....
