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
