Sesorang berkata padaku,

"Tunggu aku di situ,

Aku sedang berada di persimpangan yang membuatku ragu"

Kujawab, "Aku akan di sini menunggumu,

di bawah payung ungu yang kau pinjamkan padaku"

:: Berapa bintang yang kau beri? ::.

Kata orang dulu "urip iku sawang sinawang", apa yang kita lihat mungkin tidak seperti yang orang rasakan. Kita pikir orang lain lebih beruntung, tapi mungkin orang tersebut pun berpikir kalau kitalah yang lebih beruntung. Kata orang lagi, "rumput tetangga selalu nampak lebih hijau", padahal mungkin hanya karena kita tidak pernah menikmati kebun kita sendiri. Tapi kenyataannya, begitulah manusia.



:: Berapa bintang yang kau beri? ::.

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry



:: Berapa bintang yang kau beri? ::.

That evening, I was so hungry that I couldn't stand on my own feet. With these trembling feet, I tried to walk searching for something to eat. What a lucky day, I saw an old broken pipe that I thought would worth some cents. I picked it and imagining that i would get at least a small piece of bread. I just smelled the bread... Suddenly, a big group of guards ran after me and yelling "THIEF...THIEF". My trembling feet didn't allow me to move even just a foot. They drugged me to the jail... In this cold humid jail, I stayed for months, couldn't do anything. I was ignored, no trial, but the guards were always around. I thought, I should do something to get out of this jail.



:: Berapa bintang yang kau beri? ::.

Aku seperti lelah menunggu datangnya fajar
Hingga terlelap di bawah bunga mimpi tak berujung
Menemukan warna sudut yang sama dalam tiap pandang
Tak ada celah yang mengisyaratkan mentari 'kan segera datang
Membenamkan angan dan memberi harapan tak nyata



:: Berapa bintang yang kau beri? ::.
