It’s a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I’m not one of those, who can easily hide
I don’t have much money, but boy if I did
I’d buy a big house where we both could live.

If I was a sculptor, but then again no,
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it’s not much, but it’s the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one’s for you.

And you can tell everybody, this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it’s done,
I hope you don’t mind, I hope you don’t mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world.

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses, well they’ve got me quite cross
But the sun’s been quite kind while I wrote this song,
It’s for people like you, that keep it turned on.

So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
You see I’ve forgotten, if they’re green or they’re blue
Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I’ve ever seen

Rolling Stones – Laugh, I Nearly Died

I’ve been travelling but I don’t know where
I’ve been missing you but you just don’t care
And I’ve been wandering, I’ve seen Greece and Rome
Lost in the wilderness, so far from home
Yeah, yeah

I’ve been to Africa, looking for my soul
And I feel like an actor looking for a role
I’ve been in Arabia, I’ve seen a million stars
Been sipping champagne on the boulevards – yes

I’m so sick and tired
Trying to turn the tide, yeah
So I’ll say my goodbye
Laugh, laugh
I nearly died

I’ve been down to India, but it froze my bones
I’m living for the city, but I’m all alone
I’ve been travelling, but I don’t know where
I’ve been wandering, but I just don’t care

I hate to be denied
How you hurt my pride
I feel pushed aside
But laugh, laugh, laugh
I nearly died

Been travelling far and wide
Wondering who’s going to be my guide

Living in a fantasy but it’s way too far
But this kind of loneliness is way too hard
I’ve been wandering, feeling all alone
I lost my direction and I lost my home…Well

I’m so sick and tired
Now I’m on the side
Feeling so despised
When you laugh, laugh
I almost died

(Been travelling far and wide
Wondering who’s going to be my guide)

I hurt my pride, hurt my pride, hurt my pride (Been travelling far and wide)
Been travelling, yeah

(Been travelling far and wide
Wondering who’s going to be my guide)

(Been travelling far and wide)

Wrapped around your finger
The police

You consider me the young apprentice (magang/praktek)
Caught between the scylla and charybidis
Hypnotized by you if I should linger
Staring at the ring around your finger

I have only come here seeking knowledge
Things they wouldnt teach me of in college
I can see the destiny you sold
Turned into a shining band of gold

Ill be wrapped around your finger
Ill be wrapped around your finger

Mephistopheles (seperti iblis) is not your name
But I know what youre up to just the same
I will listen hard to intuition
And you will see it come to its fruition

Ill be wrapped around your finger
Ill be wrapped around your finger

Devil and the deep blue sea behind me
Vanish (lenyap) in the air youll never find me
I will turn your flesh 9daging) to alabaster (pualam)
Then you will find your servant is your master

And youll be wrapped around my finger
Youll be wrapped around my finger
Youll be wrapped around my finger

Message in a bottle

The police

Another lonely day, with no one here but me, oh
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair, oh

Ill send an s.o.s. to the world
Ill send an s.o.s. to the world
I hope that someone gets my

Message in a bottle, yeah

A year has passed since I wrote my note
But I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life but
Love can break your heart
Ill send an s.o.s. to the world
Ill send an s.o.s. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah

Walked out this morning, dont believe what I saw
Hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore
Seems Im not alone at being alone
Hundred billion castaways, looking for a home
Ill send an s.o.s. to the world
Ill send an s.o.s. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Sending out at an s.o.s.
Sending out at an s.o.s.

Somebody’s Me

…by Enrique Iglesias

You
Do you remember me
Like I remember you
Do you spend your life
Going back in your mind to that time
Cause I
I walk the streets alone
I hate being on my own
And everyone can see that I really fell
And I’m going through hell
Thinking about you with somebody else

Chorus:
Somebody wants you
Somebody needs you
Somebody dreams about you every single night
Somebody can’t breathe without you it’s lonely
Somebody hopes that one day you will see
That somebody’s me
That somebody’s me
Yeah

How
How did we go wrong
It was so good and now it’s gone
And I pray at night
That our paths soon will cross
What we had isn’t lost
Cuz you’re always right here in my thoughts

Dont stand so close to me

The police

Young teacher the subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be
Inside her theres longing
This girls an open page
Book marking – shes so close now
This girl is half his age

Dont stand, dont stand so
Dont stand so close to me
Dont stand, dont stand so
Dont stand so close to me

Her friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes its not so easy
To be the teachers pet
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, shes waiting
His car is warm and dry

Dont stand, dont stand so
Dont stand so close to me
Dont stand, dont stand so
Dont stand so close to me

Loose talk in the classroom
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staff room
The accusations fly
Its no use, he sees her
He starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in
That book by nabakov

Dont stand, dont stand so
Dont stand so close to me
Dont stand, dont stand so
Dont stand so close to me
Dont stand, dont stand so
Dont stand so close to me

Roxanne

The police

Roxanne, you dont have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You dont have to sell your body to the night
Roxanne, you dont have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets for money
You dont care if its wrong or if its right

Roxanne, you dont have to put on the red light
Roxanne, you dont have to put on the red light
Put on the red light, put on the red light
Put on the red light, put on the red light
Put on the red light, oh

I loved you since I knew ya
I wouldnt talk down to ya
I have to tell you just how I feel
I wont share you with another boy
I know my mind is made up
So put away your make up
Told you once I wont tell you again its a bad way

Roxanne, you dont have to put on the red light
Roxanne, you dont have to put on the red light
You dont have to put on the red light
Put on the red light, put on the red light

Tak perlu berharap ketulusan dari orang lain
Karena semakin berharap, maka akan semakin kecewa
Biarkan dirimu saja yang memberikan ketulusan itu
Tanpa berharap balas, mengharap imbalan, ataupun simpati
Berikan, berikan saja, dan lupakan

Maka, ….Kau kan merasakan ketulusan itu
Datang bertubi-tubi, mewarnai hari-harimu
Ketulusan yang datang dari arah tak disangka-sangka
Yang hadir dari pihak-pihak yang mungkin tak terduga
Yang diberikan oleh orang-orang yang mungkin tak pernah kita kenal sebelumnya

Mereka, lingkaran terluar hidup kita
Namun mampu menyeruap masuk dalam lingkaran terdalam
Di sini, di palung sanubari
Mengikatnya, menjadi kumparan cinta yang bernama Ukhuwah
Kenapa ini bisa terjadi?

Keikhlasan untuk memberi dan kerelaan untuk menerima apa adanya
Itulah yang kan menerangkannya
Sebab, setiap pemberian pasti berbalas
Meski tak selamanya dari tangan-tangan yang sama
Setiap yang hilang pasti akan kembali
Tapi mungkin hadir dalam bentuk yang berbeda

Setiap tangan yang terulur pasti ada yang menyambutnya
Namun ada kalanya kita perlu menunggu
Dan mungkin saja bukan dari pihak yang sama
Karena, segala sesuatu yang ada di dunia ini tercipta berpasangan
Meski terkadang keduanya sangat bertolak belakang

Pagihari, sekitar jam 9.30 WIB membuka warnet, tak lama berselang dua orang gadis datang tuk browsing, kemudian datang seorang pria remaja menggunakan kursi roda, akupun menyapa “pagi mas” tanyaku..dia menjawab “baru buka ya mas? udah bisa peke belum?. udah jawabku, akupun turut mendorong kursi rodanya ke dalam warnet. Sekitar dua jam dia browsing, lalu aku ajak bicara, ya cuma sekedar tanya_tanya biasa dan pada satu titik akhirnya dia bercerita tentang kehidupan yang dia rasakan.

Kupersembahkan u/teman baruku.

Menelusuk Relung Hati _Temanku

Siang dan malam datang silih berganti

Menghantarkan sang waktu yang terus berlalu

Hingga tak setitik masa silammu dapat terulang

Dulu, kau masih dapat mengurai canda bersama teman-temanmu;

Dulu, kau masih dapat bersenandung riang untuk hilangkan kepenatan hatimu;

Tapi kini terduduk lemah di kursi roda

Nalurimu tak mampu menahan kesedihan derita ini;

Betapa kaurasa hidup dalam timbunan puing-puing kepunahan asa

Seiring sang waktu yang terus berlalu

Kaurengkuh peran pahit dalam panggung hidup ini;

dengan besar hati

Dan.. tak terasa telah jauh menapaki hidup ini

Perlahan kaupahami, tak semua memicingkan mata dikala memandangmu;

Kausadari bahwasanya masih ada orang-orang yang peduli menembus relung-relung deritamu

Menyapa jiwamu, dan peduli membesarkan jiwamu

Jangan sesali apa yang sudah pergi. Jangan tangisi apa yang sudah tiada. Tetapi bangkitlah dan bina kembali apa yang telah hilang dan pergi.

Jika anda bekerja semata-mata untuk uang, anda tidak akan menjadi kaya kerananya. Tetapi jika anda mencintai pekerjaan yang anda lakukan itu, kejayaan akan menjadi milik anda ~ Ray Kroc (Pengasas McDonalds)

Kita sering nampak menderita hari ini, tapi kita jarang ingat kebahagiaan untuk esok hari, jadi belajarlah untuk menghargai apa yg kita miliki hari ini, kerana kita takkan dapat mencapai penghargaan untuk keesokan harinya jika semuanya telah tiada…..

Komunikasi adalah sesuatu yg mudah, susahnya ialah apabila kita tidak menyebutnya dengan perkataan yg mudah.~T.S Matthews

• Apabila kita tidak pernah mencoba, kita tak akan pernah tahu..

ð Keutamaan akal ialah hikmah kebijaksanaan, dan keutamaan hati ialah keberanian.
