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.
