Biru

Sebelumnya saya pernah membuat puisi dalam bahasa Inggris dan bahasa Prancis berjudul Azure dan Azur yang artinya biru muda. Kali ini saya membuat yang dalam bahasa Indonesia. 

Biru  

Awal kulihat 

Zero, hampa, sepi, tiba-tiba 

Usat, sembilang, atau limbat berenang bersama 

Ramai rupanya dalam laut biru

Keterangan: Gambar striped eel catfish dari Wikipedia, ilustrasi ikan usat/sembilang/limbat

Azure 

At first glance
Zero movement
Unexpectedly a school of fish pass by
Race of the creatures of the blue sea

---

Azur

Au premier coup d'œil
Zero mouvement, mais
Une bande des poissons passent
Race des créatures de la mer azur

My blog is bilingual, so naturally I post bilingual song lyrics too. I like Mika's songs. He writes them not only in english but also in other languages.

Grace Kelly

by Mika

Do I attract you?
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty?
Am I too flirty?
Do I like what you like?

I could be wholesome
I could be loathsome
I guess I'm a little bit shy
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me without making me try?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
I've gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like

Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you walk out the door!

How can I help it?
How can I help it?
How can I help what you think?
Hello, my baby
Hello, my baby
Putting my life on the brink
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like yourself?
Should I bend over?
Should I look older just to be put on your shelf?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
I've gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like

Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you walk out the door!

Say what you want to satisfy yourself
But you only want what everybody else says you should want

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like

Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you walk out the door!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like

Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you walk out the door!

Grace Kelly (french Version)

Mika

Compositor: Dan Warner/jodi Marr/john Merchant/mika

Est-ce que je t’attire

Ou bien te fais fuir
Quand je souris comme ça
Les regards dégueu
Les regards mielleux
Ou les deux à la fois
Un air de bûcheron
De gentil garçon
Dis moi suis-je assez glam
Pourquoi tu m’aimes pas
Pourquoi tu m’aimes pas
Sans me coller des blâmes

[Bridge]
Je prends les poses de Grace Kelly
Pour toi ça ne suffit pas
Alors, je chante un peu comme Freddie,
Mais que faut-il que je sois

[Chorus]
Un légionnaire
Un tortionnaire
Pour être ton idéal
Un mec un peu sale
Un peu comme ma gueule
Un bandit toujours en cavale
Suis-je assez in
Suis-je assez clean
Mais que te faut-il encore
Pour que tu m’aimes bien
Pour que tu m’aimes bien
Pour qu’un beau jour tu m’adores

Comment te charmer
Comment te charmer
Comment t’empêcher de me dire
De changer d’amis
De changer d’avis
De ne pas chercher à séduire
Pourquoi tu ne m’aimes pas
Pourquoi tu ne m’aimes pas
Pourquoi tu ne t’aimes pas, toi
Je me fais tout petit
Je fais tapisserie
Et tu repeint tout chez moi

[Bridge and Chorus]

Fais ce que tu veux
Fais ce que tu veux de moi
Je serai en mieux
Ce que les autres ont envie que je sois
Pour toi…

[English (Chorus)]
I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don’t you like me
Why don’t you like me
Walk out the door

[Chorus - Different First Lines]
Un mégalo
Un soprano
Pour être ton idéal
Un mec un peu sale
Un peu comme ma gueule
Un bandit toujours en cavale
Suis-je assez in
Suis-je assez clean
Mais que te faut-il encore
Pour que tu m’aimes bien
Pour que tu m’aimes bien
Pour qu’un beau jour tu m’adores

Légende du Millier de Temples de Prambanan

C’était à l’époque du Millier de Temples de Prambanan. Il y a un chevalier nommé Bandung Bondowoso. Il tue un roi et demande à la princesse Lara Jonggrang de se marier. Elle ne veut pas l’épouser mais elle a peur de refuser. Elle lui demande pour que le chevalier construire un millier de temples en une nuit. Bandung Bondowoso appelle les esprits pour l’aider.

Juste avant que le soleil se lève, quand ils finissent le 999^e temple, Lara Jonggrang et les villageois font beaucoup de bruit. Les esprits s’enfuient parce qu’ils pensent que c’est déjà le matin. Bandung Bondowoso est fâché. Il jette un sort à la princesse. A l’instant, elle se change en temple. Donc, à la fin il y a un millier de temples.

En javanais, "mille temples" se dit Candi Sewu, qui est le nom d'un ensemble bouddhique qui se trouve au nord de Prambanan.

Legend of The One Thousand Temples

This is a legend about the One Thousand Temples in Prambanan. There was a knight named Bandung Bondowoso. He killed a king and ask the princess, Lara Jonggrang, to marry him. She didn't want to marry the knight but she was afraid to refuse so she asked Bandung Bondowoso to build a thousand temples in one night. He asked the help of the demon spirits.

Just before the sun came up, when they had already finished 999 temples, Lara Jonggrang and the villagers made loud noises. The demon spirits fled because they thought it was already morning. The knight was furious. He cursed the princess and she turned into the final temple. In the end, there were one thousand temples.
