tujuh alasan mencela diri
Kahlil Gibran
Tujuh kali aku pernah mencela jiwaku:
Pertama kali ketika aku melihatnya lemah padahal seharusnya ia bisa kuat.
Kedua kali ketika melihatnya berjalan terpincang-pincang di hadapan seorang yang lumpuh
Ketiga kali ketika berhadapan dengan pilihan yang sulit dan yang mudah, ia memilih yang mudah.
Keempat kalinya, ketika ia melakukan kesalahan, dan menghibur diri dengan mengatakan bahwa semua orang juga melakukan kesalahan.
Kelima kali, ketika ia menghindar karena takut ia mengatakannya sebagai sabar.
Keenam kali ketika ia mengejek kepada sebentuk wajah buruk, padahal ia tahu bahwa wajah itu adalah salah satu topeng yang sering ia kenakan.
Dan ketujuh, ketika ia menyanyikan lagu pujian, dan menganggap itu sebagai sesuatu yang bermanfaat.

Cahaya Bulan - OST Gie (eros "sheila on 7" & okta)
perlahan sangat pelan hingga terang kan menjelang
cahaya kota kelam mesra menyambut sang petang
di sini ku berdiskusi dengan alam yg lirih
kenapa matahari terbit menghangatkan bumi
aku orang malam yg membicarakan terang
aku orang tenang yg menentang kemenangan oleh pedang
perlahan sangat pelan hingga terang kan menjelang
cahaya nyali besar mencuat runtuhkan bahaya
di sini ku berdiskusi dengan alam yg lirih
kenapa indah pelangi tak berujung sampai di bumi
aku orang malam yg membicarakan terang
aku orang tenang yg menentang kemenangan oleh pedang
reff: cahaya bulan menusukku dengan ribuan pertanyaan
yg takkan pernah ku tau dimana jawaban itu
bagai letusan berapi bangunkan ku dari mimpi
sudah waktunya berdiri mencari jawaban kegelisahan hati
terangi dengan cinta di gelapku
ketakutan melumpuhkanku
terangi dengan cinta di sesatku
dimana jawaban itu
Until
Sting
If I caught the world in a bottle
And everything was still beneath the moon
Without your love would it shine for me?
If I was smart as Aristotle
And understood the rings around the moon
What would it all matter if you loved me?
Here in your arms where the world is impossibly still
With a million dreams to fulfill And a matter of moments until the dancing ends
Here in your arms when everything seems to be clear
Not a solitary thing would I fear
Except when this moment comes near the dancing’s end
If I caught the world in an hourglass
Saddled up the moon so we could ride
Until the stars grew dim, Until…
One day you’ll meet a stranger
And all the noise is silenced in the room
You’ll feel that you’re close to some mystery
In the moonlight and everything shatters
You feel as if you’ve known her all your life
The world’s oldest lesson in history
Here in your arms where the world is impossibly still
With a million dreams to fulfill
And a matter of moments until the dancing ends
Here in your arms when everything seems to be clear
Not a solitary thing do I fear
Except when this moment comes near the dancing’s end
Oh, if I caught the world in an hourglass Saddled up the moon and we would ride Until the stars grew dim
Until the time that time stands still, Until…
how insensitive
How Insensitive - laura fygi
Writer(s): antonio carlos jobim - ray gilbert - vinicius demoraes
How insensitive
I must have seemed
When he told me that he loved me
How unmoved and cold
I must have seemed
When he told me so sincerely
Why he must have asked
Did I just turn and stare in icy silence
What was I to say
What can you say when a love affair is over
Now he’s gone away
And I’m alone with the memory of his last look
Vague and drawn and sad
I see it still
All his heartbreak in that last look
Why he must have asked
Did I just stare and stay in icy silence
What was I to do
What can one do when a love affair is over
so many stars
The dark is filled with dreams
So many dreams which one is mine
One must be right for me
Which dream of all the dreams
When there’s a dream for every star
And there are oh so many stars
So many stars
The wind is filled with songs
So many songs which one is mine
One must be right for me
Which song of all the songs
When there’s a song for every star
And there are oh so many stars, so many stars
Along the countless days, the endless nights
That I have searched so many eyes
So many hearts, so many smiles
Which one to choose, which way to go, how can I tell
How will I know, out of, oh
So many stars, so many stars
Yes, the wind is filled with songs, so many songs
Which one is mine, one must be right for me
Which song of all the songs
When there’s a song for every star
And there are, oh, so many stars, so many stars
Along the countless days, the endless nights
That I have searched so many eyes
So many hearts, so many smiles
Which one to choose, which way to go, how can I tell
How will I know, out of, oh, so many stars
So many stars, oh, so many stars
oh, there are so many stars
lots and lots of stars, oh so many
Oh, so many stars, many

All the Things You Are (J. Kern)
You are the promised kiss at springtime - that
makes the lonely winter seem long
You are the breathless hush of evening - that
trembles on the brink of a lovely song - you are the angel
glow that lights a star - the dearest
things I know are what you are
Some day my happy arms will hold you and
some day I’ll know that moment divine - when
all the things you are are mine
Seutas Sepi
Sebutir hening menetes
Membasahi batin yang telanjang
Mengalirkan lamunan menempuh jalan asa
tak berujung
Sebentuk keraguan tercipta
Menempati relung terdalam nurani
Menggetarkan pilar-pilar keyakinan
yang menopang kehidupan
Seutas sepi terentang
Menghubungkan dua hati nelangsa
Mengikat dua anak manusia
yang merindukan cinta
(E.N.)
