a tribute to my wife, Marini Syahbani-Cita
ketika sendiri disini, aku melihatmu
ketika melihatmu disini, aku berpikir
andaikan kau terhilang dari pandang
akankah aku mengejarmu
saat hati terselimuti malam, aku mendengarmu
saat aku mendengarmu, aku berharap
jika suara itu akan selalu tertanam
terhembus dalam dua hati yang bertautan
jikalau aku sendiri
aku tetap menatap kedepan
karena disanalah aku melihatmu
dimana aku akan terus bersamamu
bahkan jika aku tidak melihatmu, aku melihatmu
bahkan jika aku tidak mendengarmu, aku mendengarmu
bahkan perbedaan tidak selalu mengunci
biarkan semuanya teresapi
kita teruskan kehidupan
biarkan angin mengisi sunyinya malam
kita tetaplah satu
bagaikan alam yang mengisi dunia

a tribute to Mother Nature… to our beloved Earth…
Now I’m here
See
The Green scenery
Beautiful landscapes on my side
With forest of tranquility
Where the birds are singing
Sings a morning song
The plateau
Where the sheperds walks their sheeps
Touching my deeper heart Again
The farms
Where the farmers talks to their plans
It’s sense me to wonder
Now The Fresh Air touching my skin
Makes a peace of mind
When I see the Green Mountain in the background
Like a wallpaper
Bring me more tranquility
But Is it still belong?
I’m afraid to lose these sight
I still hope
That this Beautiful Landscape
Are still there…
…forever and ever…
