What is "Kos-kosan"?

Kost (Kos) or Kos-kosan, actually it's from Dutch word... But the meaning is little bit different from the root word.
Now, Kost means "a room" (Kamar kos) or a house with rooms (Kos-kosan) that rooms are rented for a month, some months, or even a year.. it depends on the owner.

Kos/Kos-kosan is really different with hotels, or guest house..because kos-kosan are really like a normal house. Usually there is no receptionist room or something like that.

Aku Takkan Bersuara - Nike Ardilla

Nike Ardilla - Aku Takkan Bersuara

Izinkan cintaku
Berbunga dihatimu
Biar terus mekar
Jadi kenyataan..

T'lah lama ku dahaga
Belaian seorang insan
Semoga bersama mu
Ceria hidupku..

Ku tak akan bersuara
Walau dirimu kekurangan
Hanya setia mu itu
Ku harapkan..

Ku tak akan menduakan
Walau kilauan menggoda
Kasih dan sayangku
Tetap utuh untukmu..

Hanya ku pinta darimu
Setialah selamanya
Sehingga abadi
Cinta ini sayang itu ku doakan..

Tak mungkin kan terjadi
Kehancuran cinta kita
Andainya hatimu..seperti hatiku..
Andainya hatimu..seperti hatiku..

I will not make any voice

Allow my love
to grow in your heart
so it will continue to bloom
and becomes reality

For a long time I've been thirsty
of someone's caresses
Hopefully it will be with you
then my life will be cheerful

I will not make any voice
even though you have defiency
only your loyalty
that I hope

I will not find the other one
even though the temptation is sparkling
my love and affection
remain intact for you

JUst, one thing I ask you
be loyal forever
so the love will be eternal
that's what I pray

It's imposible to happen
the destruction of our love
if your heart..is like my heart
if your heart..is like my heart..

Akhir Sebuah Cerita (The End of The Story)

Akhir Sebuah Cerita

Tak sanggup lagi diriku bertahan
Untuk hidup bersamamu
Tak mampu lagi diriku paksakan
Untuk tak pergi darimu

Walau sesungguhnya diriku ini
Teramat sayang padamu
Dan sejujurnya aku
Menyadari tiada mudah
Bagi diriku melupakanmu
Menghapuskan bayanganmu
Tak mudah pula bagi diriku
Untuk tak membencimu

Tak sanggup lagi diriku bertahan
Untuk hidup bersamamu
Tak mampu lagi diriku paksakan
Untuk tak pergi darimu

Lelah diriku mencoba
Mempertahankan semua demi cinta
Walau terkadang diri rendah terhina
Namun diriku tak kuasa
Menerima pengkhianatan cinta
Jalan terbaik hanyalah perpisahan

Biarlah cinta dan kenangan
Terkubur bersama luka
Namun tak akan kubiarkan
Hatiku berair mata ho ..........
==============================
The End Of A Story

I can't hold any longer
to live with you
can't force my self anymore
for not leaving you

Even though actually I
really love you
and to be honest
I realize it's not easy
for me to forget you
to erase your shadow
also not easy for me
to not hate you

I can't hold any longer
to live with you
can't force my self anymore
for not leaving you

I am so exhausted to try
to keep everything for the sake of love
even sometimes it made my self was low and humiliated
but I can't stand
to accept a betrayal of love
the best way is simply a farewell

let love and memories
are buried with the wound
but I will not let
this my heart cries

Lebih Indah (Adera)

Saat kutenggelam dalam sendu
Waktu pun enggan untuk berlalu
Kuberjanji tuk menutup pintu hatiku
Entah untuk siapa pun itu

Semakin kulihat masa lalu
Semakin hatiku tak menentu
Tetapi satu sinar terangi jiwaku
Saat kumelihat senyummu

Reff:
Dan kau hadir merubah segalanya
Menjadi lebih indah
Kaubawa cintaku setinggi angkasa
Membuatku merasa sempurna
Dan membuatku utuh tuk menjalani hidup
Berdua denganmu selama-lamanya
Kaulah yang terbaik untukku

Kini kuingin hentikan waktu
Bila kau berada di dekatku
Bunga cinta bermekaran dalam jiwaku
Kan kupetik satu untukmu

Repeat reff

Kaulah yang terbaik untukku

Kupercayakan seluruh hatiku padamu
Kasihku satu janjiku kaulah yang terakhir bagiku
===============================
Lebih Indah (More Beautiful) - (Adera)

When I drowned in the sadness
the time was reluctant to pass
I promised I would close the door of my heart
for whoever she is

The more I saw the past,
The more my heart was erratic.
but one light brightened my soul
when I saw your smile

Reff.
And you came and changed everything
everything becomes more beautiful
you bring my love as high as the sky
it makes me feel perfect
and it makes my live complete
together with you forever
you are the best for me

now I want to stop the time
if you're near me
flowers of love are blooming in my soul
I'll pick one for you

Repeat reff

You're the best for me

I entrust all my heart to you
my love, one of my promise is you're the last for me

Kepompong

This song named "Kepompong", by Sindentosca band. It tells about friendship. Not a new song, but still good to listen..Hope you like it..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFdZVi2m27Q

Kepompong (Sindentosca)

Dulu kita sahabat
Teman begitu hangat
Mengalahkan sinar mentari

Dulu kita sahabat
Berteman bagai ulat
Berharap jadi kupu-kupu

*Kini kita melangkah berjauh-jauhan
Kau jauhi diriku kar'na sesuatu
Mungkin ku terlalu bertindak kejauhan
Namun itu karna ku sayang

Reff:
Persahabatan bagai kepompong
Mengubah ulat menjadi kupu-kupu
Persahabatan bagai kepompong
Hal yang tak mudah berubah jadi indah

Persahabatan bagai kepompong
Maklumi teman hadapi perbedaan
Persahabatan bagai kepompong
na na na na na na na na na

Semua yang berlalu
Biarkanlah berlalu
Seperti hangatnya mentari

Siang berganti malam
Sembunyikan sinarnya
Hingga ia bersinar lagi

** Dulu kita melangkah berjauh-jauhan
Kau jauhi diriku karna sesuatu
Mungkin ku terlalu bertindak kejauhan
Namun itu karna ku sayang
Reff:
Reff:
Persahabatan bagai kepompong
Mengubah ulat menjadi kupu-kupu
Persahabatan bagai kepompong
Hal yang tak mudah berubah jadi indah

Persahabatan bagai kepompong
Maklumi teman hadapi perbedaan
Persahabatan bagai kepompong
Kepompong...

na na na na na na na.....

A Cocoon

In the past We were friends
it was so warm
beating the sun

In the past were friends
we were friends like caterpillars
that hoped being butterflies

*Now we walk in distant
you stay away from me because of something
Maybe I have done too far
but it was because I cared

Reff:
Friendship is like a cocoon
turns the caterpillar into the butterfly
friendship is like a cocoon
turns the uneasy thing into a beauty

friendship is like a cocoon
try to understand friends, and face the differences
friendship is like a cocoon
na na na na na na na na

All that passed
let it passed
just like the warmth of the sun

the noon turns into the night
hide the light
till it shines again

**We walked in distant
you stayed away because of something
maybe I had done too far
but It was because I cared

Reff.
Reff.
Friendship is like a cocoon
turns the caterpillar into butterfly
friendship is like a cocoon
uneasy things turns into beauties

Friendship is like a cocoon
Understand friends, face the differences
Friendship is like a cocoon
a cocoon

Jera

"Jera", this word..I don't know in English. When I google the meaning in English, it doesn't give the right meaning. "Jera" actually means a feeling that makes someone doesn't want to do something again, because he has gotten bad experience while doing it. Maybe is the same with 'trauma'. This song was created by "Rhoma Irama", and I choose Lesty for the video, because I think her voice is really...super! In this translation, I keep the word "Jera", since I don't know how to say it in English. Or, you can change it into 'trauma' if you want.

Jera

Jera… bercinta…
Jera… jera-jera-jera-jera

Bagai disayat-sayat sakitnya hati
Betapa sakitnya hati
Bagai diremas-remas hancurnya jiwa
Betapa hancurnya jiwa
Melihat kasih bercinta nyata di depan mata
Bagai disayat-sayat sakitnya hati
Betapa sakitnya hati
Bagai diremas-remas hancurnya jiwa
Betapa hancurnya jiwa

Bayangan kau bercumbu dengan si dia
Selalu menghantui jiwaku ini
Aku tak sudi lagi mengenal cinta
Mungkin ‘tuk selamanya ‘ku tak percaya

-------------------------------------------------------

Jera... to love
Jera.. jera..jera..jera..jera..

Just like being slashed again and again
this painful heart
how painful this heart is

just like being squeezed again and again
this broken soul
how broken this soul is

Seeing my lover making love (with others)
Apparent, in front of my eyes

JUst like being slashed again and again
this painful heart
how painful this heart is

just like being squeezed again and again
this broken soul
how broken this soul is

The image of you making out with her
always haunts me
I don't want to know what love is anymore
maybe forever
I won't believe in love anymore
