Do you still feel younger
than you thought you would by now?
Ada kalanya
kesendirian menjadi hadiah ulang tahun yang terbaik.
Or darling have you
started feeling old yet?
Keheningan menghadirkan pemikiran yang bergerak ke
dalam, menembus rahasia terciptanya waktu.
Don't worry, I'm sure that you're still breaking hearts, with
the efficiency that only youth can harness…
Keheningan
mengapungkan kenangan, mengembalikan cinta yang hilang, menerbangkan amarah,
mengulang manis keberhasilan dan indah kegagalan.
And do you still think
love is a laserquest?
Hening menjadi cermin yang membuat kita berkaca – suka
atau tidak suka pada hasilnya.
Or do you take it all more
seriously?
Lilin
merah berdiri megah di atas glazur, kilau apinya menerangi usia yang baru
berganti.
I've tried to ask you this
in some daydreams that I've had, but you're always busy being make believe…
Namun,
seusai disembur napas, lilin tersungkur mati di dasar tempat sampah.
And do you look into the
mirror to remind yourself you're there? Or has somebody's goodnight kisses got that covered?
Hangat
nyalanya sebatas sumbu dan usailah sudah.
When I'm not being honest,
I pretend that you were just some lover…
Sederet
doa tanpa api menghangatkanmu di setiap kue hari, kalori bagi kekuatan hati
yang tak habis dicerna usus.
Now I can't think of her without thinking of you. I doubt that comes as a surprise. And I can't think of anything to dream about. I can't find anywhere to hide. And when I'm hanging on by the rings around my eyes.
And I convince myself I need another. For a minute it gets easier to pretend that you were
just some lover…
When I'm pipe and slippers
and rocking chair, singing dreadful songs about summer…
Lilin
tanpa sumbu menyala dalam jiwa, menerangi jalan setapakmu ketika dunia terlelap
dalam gelap.
Well, I've found a better
method of pretending you were just some lover.
Berbahagilah,
sesungguhnya engkau mampu berulang tahun setiap hari.
