The standing red & white banners on the picture are called "umbul-umbul". Beside "bendera" (flag), we also sprout "umbul-umbul", and put other decorations along the street, in this August month, to celebrate "Hari Kemerdekaan Republik Indonesia" (Indonesia's Independence Day)

Kemesraan (Intimacy)

"Kemesraan", created by Franky & Johny Sahilatua...

"Kemesraan"

Suatu hari
Dikala kita duduk ditepi pantai
Dan memandang ombak dilautan yang kian menepi

Burung camar terbang
Bermain diderunya air
Suara alam ini
Hangatkan jiwa kita

Sementara
Sinar surya perlahan mulai tenggelam
Suara gitarmu
Mengalunkan melodi tentang cinta
Ada hati
Membara erat bersatu
Getar seluruh jiwa
Tercurah saat itu

Kemesraan ini
Janganlah cepat berlalu
Kemesraan ini
Inginku kenang selalu

Hatiku damai
Jiwaku tentram di samping mu
Hatiku damai
Jiwa ku tentram
Bersamamu

---
"Kemesraan"

one day..
when we sat on the beach
and looked at the waves of the ocean which was pulled to the beach

The seagulls were flying
they were playing on the roar of the water
The sound of this nature
has made our soul warm

While at the time
The light of the sun were slowly sinking
and the sound from your guitar
was playing the melody of love
There were hearts
which are burning and united tightly
The vibration of all souls
were spreading at that time

This intimacy
don't let it end quickly
this intimacy
I want to remember always

My heart was in peace
My soul was at comfort when I was beside you
My heart was in peace
My soul was at comfort
with you..

Tetap Dalam Jiwa (Still Inside Soul) - Isyana Sarasvati

Tetap Dalam Jiwa (Isyana Sarasvati)

Tak pernah terbayang akan jadi seperti ini pada akhirnya
Semua waktu yang pernah
Kita lewati bersamanya tlah
Hilang dan sirna

Hitam Putih berlalu
Janji kita menunggu
Tapi kita tak mampu

Seribu satu cara kita lewati tuk dapatkan
Semua jawaban ini

Bila memang harus berpisah
Aku akan tetap setia
Bila memang ini ujungnya
Kau tetap ada
Di dalam jiwa

Tak bisa
Tuk teruskan
Dunia kita
Berbeda

Bila memang ini ujung nya
Kau kan tetap ada
Di dalam jiwa

Memang tak mudah
Tapi ku tegar
Menjalani kosong nya hati

Buanglah mimpi kita yang pernah terjadi
Dan simpan tuk jadi history

Hitam Putih berlalu
Janji kita menunggu
Tapi kita tak mampu

Seribu satu cara kita lewati tuk dapatkan
Semua jawaban ini

*
Bila memang harus berpisah
Aku akan tetap setia
Bila memang ini ujungnya
Kau kan tetap ada
Di dalam jiwa

Tak bisa tuk teruskan
Dunia kita berbeda
Bila memang ini ujung nya
Kau kan tetap ada
Di dalam jiwa
*

(Tak bisa tuk teruskan)
(Dunia kita berbeda)
(Tak bisa tuk teruskan)
(Dunia kita berbeda)
(Tak bisa tuk teruskan)
(Dunia kita berbeda)
(Tak bisa tuk teruskan)

Still Inside My Soul (Isyana Sarasvati)

I've never imagined it would be like this in the end
all the times that we had been
trough together has
gone and faded

black and white had passed
our promise waited
but we couldn't go on

1001 ways we have passed to get
all these answers

*
If we should be separated
I'll keep loyal
if this is the end
you're still here
inside my soul

we can't
continue this
our world
is different

If this is really the end
you're still here
inside my soul

Yes it's not easy
but I am strong
to go on with this empty heart

throw away the dream that has ever happened
and keep it for a history

black and white passed
our promise waited
but we couldn't go on

1001 ways we have passed to get
all these answers

*
If we indeed should be separated
I'll keep loyal
if this is the end
you're still here
inside my soul

we can't
continue this
our world is different
If this is really the end
you're still here
inside my soul

(we can't continue this)
(our world is different)
(we can't continue this)
(our world is different)
(we can't continue this)
(our world is different)
(we can't continue this)
(our world is different)

Rasa Cinta (Look at Us)
By - Black Wings

Sayangku
Selama ini kita bersatu
Berbagi,
Kawan ”suka” darimu
Kasihku
Semakin lama pun berlalu
Rasa cinta antara kita semakin ada

Wajahmu
Masih secantik dulu
Senyummu
Membuat “lagi” selalu rindu
Cintaku
Jangan engkau nimbang yang lalu
Rasa cinta antara kita
Semakin ada

Kurindu panggilan sayangmu
Biarkan aku “memejalu (memujamu?)”
Seribu
Coba apakah karna “berlagi”
Rasa cinta antara kita semakin ada

Rasa Cinta (Feeling of Love)

My love
All this time we’ve been united
Sharing
As a friend in ”happiness” from you
My love
The more time passes
The love feeling between us is getting more exist

Your face
Still as beautiful as before
Your smile
Make me miss you "again"
My love
Don’t think about the past anymore
The love feeling between us is getting more exist

I miss you’re calling me sweetheart
Let me “adore” you
Thousand of
- tries whether it’s because of "the continous"
The love feeling between us is getting more exist.

Iklan Di Jalan (Baby's Product)

For Bahasa Indonesia learners...Do you understand the commercial above?

====================================

Yup, it's about babies product, and something else too..

Telah Dibuka = Has been opened already. (Open Now)

Bayiku Sayang = My dear baby , but it's the name of the product.

Sedia baju & perlengkapan bayi = (we) provide baby's clothes and equipments (or supplies, including accessories).

Promo Ramadhan = Promotion in Ramadhan month. (Ramadhan is a month in Islamic calendar).

Baju bayi & hamil = (baju bayi & baju hamil) baby's clothes and pregnant women's clothes.

Popok = diapers.

Susu formula = Milk (that is produced by a factory).

Perlengkapan bayi = baby's equipment (or supplies, including baby's accessories)

Kosmetik bayi & dewasa = baby's cosmetic and adult's cosmetic (I really don't understand with this, cosmetic for baby ???)

Mainan anak & boneka = children's toys and dolls.

Kebutuhan rumah tangga lainnya = daily household needs.

Mahligai

Seringkali kata ini muncul di kartu undangan pernikahan (This word often appear on wedding invitation), tapi tidak banyak orang Indonesia yang tahu artinya:
 Mahligai Rumah Tangga. (Apa arti mahligai?) (What does "Mahligai" mean?)
..........................
Mahligai = an honorable place, for kings or queens. Tempat khusus untuk orang-orang yang dihormati, seperti Raja atau Ratu. It can be a palace or a room. Bisa berupa istana, atau ruangan khusus.

Mahligai rumah tangga, saya lebih cenderung mengartikan "istana kehormatan dalam hidup berumah-tangga (an honorable palace for living as husband & wife). Ini maksudnya "kehidupan rumah tangga" (getting merried/make a family) adalah kehidupan yg terhormat. Kami sering memakai kata "rumah tangga", tapi kata "mahligai" sudah sangat jarang digunakan. Kecuali dalam kartu undangan pernikahan, atau puisi, atau lagu.

LUSUH and KUMUH

"Bajunya LUSUH. Rumahnya di pemukiman KUMUH."

 Do you understand the words "lusuh" and "kumuh" above?

...................

Kumuh = Slum . Lusuh = worn (The cloth is worn), shabby, un-tidy

Perahu Kertas - Maudy Ayunda

Perahu Kertas

 Perahu kertasku kan melaju
 Membawa surat cinta bagimu
 Kata-kata yang sedikit gila
 Tapi ini adanya

 Perahu kertas mengingatkanku
 Betapa ajaibnya hidup ini
 Mencari-cari tambatan hati
 Kau sahabatku sendiri

 Hidupkan lagi mimpi-mimpi (cinta-cinta),
 cita-cita (cinta-cinta)
 Yang lama ku pendam sendiri
 Berdua, ku bisa percaya

 Ku bahagia kau telah terlahir di dunia
 Dan kau ada di antara milyaran manusia
 Dan ku bisa dengan radarku menemukanmu

 Tiada lagi yang mampu berdiri
 Halangi rasaku, cintaku padamu
 Ku bahagia kau telah terlahir di dunia
 Dan kau ada di antara milyaran manusia
 Dan ku bisa dengan radarku menemukanmu

 Oh, bahagia kau telah terlahir di dunia
 Dan kau ada di antara milyaran manusia
 Dan ku bisa dengan radarku menemukanmu
 .........................................
 Paper Boat

 My paper-boat will run
 Bringing a love letter for you
 Words which are bit crazy
 But those are the truth

 The paper-boat (always) reminds me
 How wonderful this life is
 (while I was) searching a lovely heart
 (then) you, my own best friend
 (you) liven up again my dreams (love love), my ideals (love love)
 That I had buried for my own for a long time
 With you, I am able to believe

 I'm happy that you were born in this world
 And you're there among billions of human
 And I could, with my radar, find you

 There is nothing more that can stand
 and block my feelings, my love is for you

 I'm happy that you were born in this world
 And you're there among billions of human
 And I could, with my radar, find you

 I'm happy that you were born in this world
 And you're there among billions of human
 And I could, with my radar, find you

Antara Anyer dan Jakarta

Deru sang ombak bersilih ke pantai
 Disambut ayunan nyiur melambai
 Rembulan megah di atas mahligai
 Tersenyum melihat kita berdua

 Angin membawa lagu cinta
 Sejuta bintang bermain mata
 Seakan rela dua insan
 Di dalam skenarionya

 Antara Anyer dan Jakarta
 Kita jatuh cinta
 Antara Anyer dan Jakarta
 Kisah cinta tiga malam
 Kan ku ingat selamanya
 Antara Anyer dan Jakarta

 Kini seakan mimpi yang buruk
 Ku alami setiap hari
 Cinta yang sudah tiada lagi
 Tinggal memori membawa kembali.
 ..........
 The roar sound of the waves was overlapping each other in the beach
 Welcomed by the gently swaying of coconut tree
 The magnificent moon was above it's throne
 It was smling while looking at us

 The wind brought a love song
 & Millions of stars were playing their eyes (flirting each other)
 As if they agreed with the two people
 who were in a scenario

 Between Anyer and Jakarta
 We were falling in love
 Between Anyer and Jakarta
 The story of three nights love
 I will remember that forever
 Between Anyer and Jakarta

 Now it's like a nightmare
 I experience it everyday
 The love has no longer exist
 The memory which is left always bring me back

Kupu-kupu Malam (Titiek Puspa)

Kupu-kupu malam (Night Butterfly), is a term for a woman prostitute. This song tells about that. It's an old song. Written by Titiek Puspa

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-r8adpVeuY

Kupu-kupu Malam

Ada yang benci dirinya
Ada yang butuh dirinya
Ada yang berlutut mencintanya
Ada pula yang kejam menyiksa dirinya

Ini hidup wanita si kupu-kupu malam
Bekerja bertaruh seluruh jiwa raga
Bibir senyum kata halus merayu memanja
Kepada setiap mereka yang datang

Dosakah yang dia kerjakan
Suci kah mereka yang datang
Kadang dia tersenyum dalam tangis
Kadang dia menangis di dalam senyuman

Oh apa yang terjadi, terjadilah
Yang dia tahu Tuhan penyayang umatnya
Oh apa yang terjadi, terjadilah
Yang dia tahu hanyalah menyambung nyawa

Oh apa yang terjadi, terjadilah
Yang dia tahu Tuhan penyayang umatnya
Oh apa yang terjadi, terjadilah
Yang dia tahu hanyalah menyambung nyawa
=================================
Night Butterfly

There are some people who hate her
There are some people who need her
There are some who kneels to love her (to beg for love)
There are also some who are cruel torturing her

This is a life of a night butterfly (a prostitute)
Working and risking her whole body and soul
Her lips is smiling, her words is soft and spoiled
to all who come

Is what she does a sin?
are those who come pure?
Sometimes she is smiling inside in a cry
Sometimes she is crying in a smile

Oh whatever will be, will be
all she knows is that God is the most merciful
Oh whatever happens, just happens
All she knows is just how to continue her lives..

Oh whatever will be, will be
all she knows is that God is the most merciful
Oh whatever happens, just happens
All she knows is just how to continue her lives.

Aku Yang Dulu Bukanlah Yang Sekarang - Tegar

Tegar was a kid street musician. He was so poor so he had to look for money to continue his life, by being a street musician. Once, someone took his video & uploaded it on youtube. He became famous because of that video. He sang his own song. On this video, he sing his song that make him famous, but here the lyric has already been changed..

http://youtu.be/IwyZSet3ERo

Aku yang dulu bukanlah yang sekarang
Dulu ditendang sekarang ku disayang
Dulu dulu dulu ku menderita
Sekarang aku bahagia

Cita-citaku menjadi orang kaya
Dulu ku susah sekarang alhamdulillah
Bersyukurlah pada Yang Maha Kuasa
Memberi jalan untukku semua

Hidupku dulunya seorang pengamen
Pulang malam selalu bawa uang recehan
Mengejar cita-cita paling mulia
Membantu keluarga di rumah

Sekolah dulu ku gak punya biaya
Terpaksa ku harus mencari nafkah
Tetapi aku tak berputus asa
Pasti Yang Kuasa memberi jalannya

Hidupku dulunya seorang pengamen
Pulang malam selalu bawa uang recehan
Mengejar cita-cita paling mulia
Bersyukur masuk dapur rekaman

Hidupku dulunya seorang pengamen
Pulang malam selalu bawa uang recehan
Mengejar cita-cita paling mulia
Bersyukur masuk dapur rekaman

Sekolah dulu ku gak punya biaya
Terpaksa ku harus mencari nafkah
Paling bisa bantu dengan penuh cinta
Cinta yang penuh warna

Aku yang dulu bukanlah yang sekarang
Dulu ditendang sekarang ku disayang
Dulu dulu dulu ku menderita
Sekarang aku bahagia
Cita-citaku menjadi orang kaya oiii
Dulu ku susah sekarang alhamdulillah
Bersyukurlah pada Yang Maha Kuasa
Memberi ooh memberi jalan untukku semua

============+====
I was in the past, is not I am today
In the past I was kicked Now I am loved In the past, past, past I was suffering
Now I am happy

My dream is..I wanna be rich person
I was getting hard time
Now I praise to God
Say my gratitude to God
Cause He has given me a way.

My life in the past, I was a just a street musician
Back home at night, just brought coins
Running after my most glorious dream
Helping family at home

To go to school, I had no money to pay the fee
Want it or not, I had to look for money
But I wasn't desperate
I was sure God would show me a way

My life in the past, I was just a street musician
Back home at night I just brought coins I
was pursuing the most glorious dream
(but) Now I am in recording studio

To go to school, I didn't have money to pay the fee
Want it or not I had to look for money
I was able to help only with love
A colorful love

I was in the past is not I am now
I was being kicked
But now I am loved
In the past, past, past I was suffered
Now I am happy

My dream was..I.wanted be a rich person
I was in difficult time, now I say praise to God
Say gratitude to God For He has given me ..oh..has given me a path for everything good..

BERES

1. Semua tugasku sudah BERES.
2. Rasanya ada yang tidak BERES.
3. Dia sedang MEMBERESKAN kamarnya.
4. Nenek sedang BERES-BERES rumah.
5. Dia sudah DIBERESKAN! / Dia sudah DIBERESIN!
6. A: "Nanti datang ke rumah ya!".
    B: "Beres!"

Do you understand the word "BERES" above?
...........................................................................
Yup. Beres = fixed, have already been taken care of, settled, done, have already put in order.

1. Semua tugasku sudah BERES = All my task has already been done ( I have done all my tasks).
2. Rasanya ada yang tidak BERES = It feels like there is something wrong (There is something need to be taken care of).
3. Dia sedang MEMBERESKAN kamarnya = He is 'cleaning (and tidying up) his room .
4. MEMBERESKAN = BERES-BERES (usually BERES-BERES is for bigger scale. For more bigger space..or more amount of frequency. But however MEMBERESKAN is the same with BERES-BERES).
5. Dia sudah DIBERESKAN! (Dia sudah DIBERESIN - more informal) = He's been taken care of. (In some context, it can mean "He's been killed").

Cicak cicak di dinding

This is one kid song that is so famous in Indonesia:

 "Cicak cicak di dinding
diam-diam merayap
datang seekor nyamuk
 Hap! Lalu ditangkap."

Do you understand those words above?

...........................................................

This is the translation:

"cicak cicak di dinding (house lizard..house lizard on the wall)
diam-diam merayap (silently crawling)
datang seekor nyamuk (a mosquito comes)
hap! lalu ditangkap (hap! then it (the mosquito) is caught (by the house lizard))."

Gombal, what does it mean?

Gombal.

Literally, gombal is a sheet of fabric, used as a mop (rag)
Usually we use old fabric to mop, from old cloth or anykind of unused & old fabric...(that's what we call "gombal" or "kain gombal" (or rag in English) ).

But then the meaning is extended.

Kata2 mu gombal! = Your words are like 'rubbish'.
(It's nothing, just a lie).
In the past, youngsters liked to flatter girls, by giving sweet words..but those words were actually lies..or kind of exaggeration. So the girls would say "Semua itu gombal (those are rubbish)!!"

Btw, the girls knew they were just rubbish, but they liked it anyway, right? Hehehe

So then, the meaning is extended again..
Because the girls liked it, they said to the boys..
"gombali aku dong.." (Flatter me please..).

Here, the word 'gombal" becomes "flattery".

Joko menggombali Susi = Joko flattered Susi.
(menggombali = flatter)
Susi digombali joko= Susi was flattered by Susi.
(digombali = be flattered)

Andre jago membuat gombalan = Andre is good
in making a flattery words. (gombalan = flattery)

Andre jago menggombal = Andre is good in
doing flattery. (menggombal = do flattery)

Romeo: Rasanya sakit tidak? (Did you feel hurt?)

Juliet: Sakit? Aku? Kenapa? (Hurt? Me? Why?

Romeo: Karena kamu sangat cantik..kamu malaikat kan? Sakit kah saat jatuh dari langit?
(because you are so beautiful..you are an angel, right? Didn't you feel hurt when you fell from
heaven?)

Juliet: gombaaaaall!!! (rubbish!!!)

"Ya Sudahlah", by 'Bondan Bondan Prakoso & Fade2Black. I like this song...very nice.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WyLVrtLhvk

Ya sudahlah

Ketika mimpimu tak begitu indah
Tak pernah terwujud.., ya sudahlah
Saat kau berlari mengejar anganmu
Dan tak pernah sampai.., ya sudahlah

Mm m mm.. Apapun yang terjadi
Ku kan s’lalu ada untukmu
Janganlah kau bersedih
Coz everything’s gonna be okay

Satu dari sekian kemungkinan
Kau jatuh, jatuh tanpa ada harapan
Saat itu raga ku persembahkan
Yo bersama jiwa, cinta, cita dan harapan

Kita sambung satu persatu sebab akibat
Tapi tenanglah mata hati kita kan lihat
Menuntun ke arah mata angin bahagia
Kau dan aku tau jalan selalu ada

Juga ku tau lagi problema kan terus menerjang
Bagai deras ombak yang menabrak karang
Namun ku tahu, ku tau kau mampu tuk tetap tenang
Hadapi ini bersamaku hingga ajal datang

Saat kau berharap keramahan cinta
Tak pernah kau dapat, ya sudahlah
Yeah dengar ku bernyanyi
Lalalalalalala hey yeyeyayaya duddu di da dam..
Semua ini belum berakhir..

Apapun yang terjadi
Ku kan s’lalu ada untukmu..
Janganlah kau bersedih
Coz everything’s gonna be okay

Satukan langkah, langkah yang beriring
Genggam hati, rangkul emosi!

Genggamlah hatiku.., satukan langkah kita..
Sama rasa, tanpa pamrih
Ini cinta, across the sea
Peluklah diriku terbanglah bersamaku
Melayang jauh.. Oo oo yea..h..

Ini dari ujung rambut menyusur jemari
Sosok ini yang menerima kelemahan hati
Ye aku cinta kau (Ini cinta kita)
Cukup satu waktu, yes! (untuk satu cinta)

Satu cinta ini akan tuntun jalanku
Rapatkan jiwamu tenang di sisiku
Rebahkan rasa untuk yang ditunggu
Bahagia, hingga ujung waktu!

Apapun yang terjadi
Ku kan s’lalu ada untukmu
Janganlah kau bersedih
Coz everything’s gonna be okay
Apapun yang terjadi (lala la la..)
Ku kan s’lalu ada untukmu (s’lalu ada untukmu..)

But be calm down, our eyes of heart will see
and lead us to the direction of happiness

And I also know the problems are always come in rush
Like heavy waves crashing the reef
But I know, I know you are able to calm down
Face that with me, till death comes

When you expect a friendly love
(but) you never get it, just let it be
Yeah..listen to me singing
Lalalalalalala hey yeyeyayaya duddu di da dam..

Hold (our) hearts, hug (our) emotions

Hold my heart, unite our step

It is love, across the sea
Hold me and fly with me.

It's (me) from the tip of (my) hair and along my fingers.
It's a self that can accept a weakness of a heart
Yes I love you (This is our love)
Just this one, Yes! (For one love)

Close to my soul, be calm in my side
Lay your feeling, for what you dream
Be happy, till the end of time

Cinta Sejati - Element

Cinta Sejati - by Element band. Request from Miranda Ammy..enjoy..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5G27iYmR3U

Cinta sejati yang bisa
Memberi tanpa harus menerima
Dia membawa damai dan bahagiakan jiwa
untuk semua manusia

Hanya cinta sejati yang bisa
Bertahan tanpa mengenal waktu
Tak kan pernah sirna bagai karang di samudra
Kan abadi tuk selamanya

Seperti itulah
cintaku
Untuk dirimu
Tulus dan apa adanya
Datang dari semua rasa
Sucinya hati
Atas nama cinta sejati

Dan bila engkau telah mengerti
Betapa besar artinya cinta
Hingga setiap nafas yang mengalir di tubuhmu
Mengandung cinta dari Yang Kuasa

Seperti itulah
cintaku
Untuk dirimu
Tulus dan apa adanya
Datang dari semua rasa
Sucinya hati
Atas nama cinta sejati
========================

Cinta Sejati (True Love)

It's true love that can..
give without expecting reward
It gives peace and it makes happy in soul

It's only true love that can
(make us) survive in all time
will never vanish like "reefs in an ocean"
will be eternal forever

It's just like that,
my love
for you
sincere and real
comes from all feeling
of pure heart
in the name of true love

And if you have understood
how big the meaning of love is..
so that every breath that flows inside your body..
it contains love from the AlMighty (God) there..

It's just like that,
my love
for you
sincere and real
comes from all feeling
of pure heart
in the name of true love

(Note: the description of "reefs in an ocean" is often used to describe eternity, even in reality we know that coral can vanish too. That's because corals seem very strong, even the wave smash them many times).

Sakitnya tuh Disini (The Pain is Here) - by Cita Citata

Sakitnya tuh di sini Di dalam hatiku
Sakitnya tuh di sini Melihat kau selingkuh

Kau sedang bercumbu

Sakitnya tuh di sini Di dalam hatiku
Sakitnya tuh di sini Melihat kau selingkuh
Sakitnya tuh di sini Pas kena hatiku
Sakitnya tuh di sini Kau menduakan aku

Sakit sakit  sakitnya tuh di sini
Sakit sakit  sakitnya tuh di sini

==================================
The pain is here, in my heart
The pain is here, Have seen you making affair
The pain is here, right into my heart
The pain is here, you make an affair

How could you did that?
Playing my love
How mean your way is
betraying me
How hurt my heart is
How broken my soul is
(I saw) in front of my eyes
you're making out

The pain is here, in my heart
The pain is here, Have seen you making affair
The pain is here, right into my heart
The pain is here, you make an affair

hurt, hurt, the pain is here
hurt, hurt, the pain is here

Mengintai..what does it mean?

"Mengintai"
- Kelompok A sedang mengintai kelompok B.
Do you understand the word 'mengintai' ?

Answer:
 it's 'silently watching, or following, or stalking, to find out what someone is doing, or anything about the one we follow, etc'. Usually policemen do that. They 'mengintai' a criminal.

Jalan Masih Panjang (The Road is Still Long)

Sung by 7 Bintang (7 Stars).

* Kusadar hidup ini hanya sebentar
Untuk apa putus asa
Kan buang waktu saja
Bukankah setiap orang punya problema
Yang harus kita lalui
Dengan hati yang tabah

Lupakan sudah masa lalu kelabu
Kita susun langkah baru
Jangan hanya menunggu
Harapan, kesempatan, dan jua waktu
Takkan selamanya datang
Menghampiri hidup kita

Bersyukurlah hari ini
Kita masih dapat berjumpa
Dalam kasih sayangnya

Berdoalah raih semua
Cita-cita hidup di dunia
Dan jangan kita lupa
Dia yang di atas sana, kawan

back to *

Hidup ini berat tapi jangan takut, kawan  
sebab pengorbanan
Selalu menjadikan bahagia
Satu lagi, kawan
Jalan masih panjang
Berarti kita harus melangkah terus kemuka

Bersyukurlah hari ini
Kita masih dapat berjumpa
Dalam kasih sayangnya

Berdoalah raih semua
Cita-cita hidup di dunia
Dan jangan kita lupa
Dia yang di atas sana, kawan

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

* I realize this life is just a moment
so why desperate?
will just waste of time

doesn't everyone have problems
and we have to pass it
with a steady heart?

Just forget all the grayness in the past
let's arrange a new step
don't just wait
Hope, opportunity, and time
will not always come
to our lives

be thankful because today
we still can meet
in His (God's) compassion

(let's) pray and reach all
our dreams of life in this world
and let's not forget
Him (God) who is up there, pals

back to *

This life is hard but don't be afraid, pals
because sacrifices
will always create happiness
and one more, pals
The road is still long
it means we have to keep going forward

be thankful, because today
we still can meet
in His (God's) compassion

(let's) pray and reach all
of our dreams of life in this world
and let's not forget
Him (God) who is up there, pals..

ENAKNYA kita jalan ke mana ya?

YL: Numpang tanya artinya apa kalimat ini?"enaknya kita jalan ke mana ya?"
Saya tahu "kita jalan ke mana?" Tapi"enaknya" artinya apa disini? Terima Kasih.

Answer: 
Biasanya, "enaknya" digunakan untuk makanan. "Enaknya makanan ini.." (This food is delicious).

(literally "enak(nya)" means "delicious" (for food)). 

Tapi dalam percakapan non-formal, kata "enak(nya)" juga sering dipakai untuk mengekspresikan perasaan "nyaman".
-- "Enaknya tinggal di sini..." (It's comfortable/nice to live here).

But in non-formal conversation, we use it also for expressing the feeling of comfort. "Enaknya tinggal di sini..." (It's comfortable/nice to live here).

Dan sering juga digunakan untuk yang lain-lain, untuk mengekspresikan hal-hal yang bagus/lebih bagus (good/better), nyaman (comfortable), lezat (delicious), dan lain-lain. 

Enaknya kita jalan ke kiri = It's better we go to the left.
Enaknya kita jalan ke mana? = It's better we go to..where..?

Contoh lain dalam percakapan sehari-hari:
Enaknya hujan-hujan begini .... tidur = it's better ..in this raining time ..we sleep. (It's better to sleep on this raining time)
Enaknya hujan-hujan begini ... ngapain ya? = it's better..on this raining time...do what ya? = it's raining, what should we do?

To make it simple, remember the word 'enaknya' mostly be used in non formal conversation. In formal situation, in this context we can use 'sebaiknya'.

"Enaknya kita jalan ke mana ya?" --> "Sebaiknya kita jalan ke mana ya?" = Where should we go? 

Sebaiknya = should/it's better
Kita = we
Jalan = walk, but in this context it means 'move'/'go'.
ke mana = to where
Literally it means "Should we go to where?" --> Where should we go?

Basi ..what does it mean?

- Omonganmu basi.
- Nasinya basi.
- Dia cuma basa-basi.

Do you understand those words? If don't ..read this explanation below:

Jika ada masakan (atau makanan) yang sudah lama dan mulai berbau berbeda, mungkin berbau tidak enak, berarti masakan itu basi. (If there is some food which has expired, it will begin to smell different, so the food is "basi"). Tapi kemudian, kata "basi" digunakan untuk hal2 lain (but then the word "basi" is used for other things).

Omonganmu basi = what you said has 'expired', I am sick of what you said.

Nasinya basi = the rice is expired, the rice is stale/musty.

basa-basi has different meaning. Usually when people want to begin a conversation, they do "basa-basi", by saying like "the weather is nice, isn't?" Jadi basa-basi adalah kata2 iseng saja..

Do you understand the meaning of 'basi' now?

Artis Youtube: Nathan Fingerstyle

Recently I often watch videos on youtube, by 'Nathan Fingertyle'. He's a guitar player, a fingerstyle guitar player. (Baru-baru ini aku sering nonton video di youtube, videonya Nathan Fingerstyle. Dia pemain gitar 'fingerstyle')

I know there are many other cool guitar players in Indonesia, let alone in this world. But he is the only one that can make me want to watch again and again. (Ku tahu ada banyak pemain gitar yang keren di Indonesia, apalagi di dunia. Tapi dia mungkin satu-satunya pemain gitar yang membuatku ingin menonton videonya lagi dan lagi.)

The way he plays guitar, and at the same time he also plays percussion on his guitar, they are very enjoyable..and the percussion sounds very Indonesian..at least for me :D . (Cara dia memainkan gitar, dan pada bersamaan bermain perkusi dengan gitarnya, sangat asik buat dinikmati..dan permainannya terdengar sangat Indonesia..setidaknya menurutku begitu :D ).

Some people even made duet with him, by combining his video with theirs. (Beberapa orang bahkan berduet dengannya, dengan mengkombinasi video Nathan dengan video mereka sendiri).

Look at two of his videos below, what do you think?  (Coba lihat dua video di bawah, bagaimana menurutmu?)

Cinta Terbaik (The best love)

Honestly, I am not able
to remove your face from my heart
although the night (becomes) disturbing
(can't) remove your smile from my eyes
I realize I'm in love with you

although I am not the first in your heart
but my love for you is the best
although I am not a star in the sky
but my love (for you) is the best

Honestly, I am not able
to go from you
although my heart is hesitated
and you're not beside me everytime
I realize I'm in love with you

although I am not the first in your heart
but my love for you is the best
although I am not a star in the sky
but my love (for you) is the best

oh although I am not the first in your heart
but my love for you is the best
although I am not a star in the sky
but my love (for you) is the best

oh although I am not the first in your heart
but my love for you is the best
although I am not a star in the sky
but my love is the best (my love is the best)
but my love is the best (my love is the best)

Hanya Satu Kata (Only One Word) - Harry Mukti

Hanya satu kata
Tiada tempat terucap
Walau kita berjumpa
Dan saling menyapa

Hanya satu kata
Kembali karam di hati
Walau sering bicara
Sampai lupa waktu

Dimana kuharus mencari
Sebuah kata yang hilang
Saat denganmu

Bukan banyak kata
Ketika ingin bicara
Tentang bara di dada
cukup satu kata

Jangan kau ragu dan membisu
Ucapkan saja isi hatimu
Lewat satu kata
Ketika ingin bicara
Tentang bara di dada
Cukup satu kata
................
Only one word
but no place of speaking that
Although we've met
And greet each other

Only one word
(but it) went back and sank into my heart
Although (we) often talk
Till we forget the time

Where do I have to search
A missing word
When I'm with you

It's Not many words
I want to talk
about a flame in (my) chest
(it's) just one word

(the singer talks to himself:)
Do not be hesitated and silent
Just say what's in your heart
Through one word
When you want to talk
about a flame in (your) chest
Just one word
