Kalah Lagi Lyrics Translation Biru Baru | BIRU
The poet talks about daily struggles and the weight of unmet resolutions. ‘I wear a fake smile in front of the mirror, convincing myself that everything is still possible,’ she writes. The imagery of puffy eyes and silent drives adds to the honest reflection.
Beradu impianCompeting dreams,
Dengan orang sekitarkuwith the people around me.
Buka tirai jendela, rapikan kasurku, sudah bangga sendiriOpening the curtains, making my bed, I’m already proud of myself.
Menjelang siangAs noon approaches,
Sudah habis tenagakumy energy is already gone.
Kutangisi semua sebelum tidurku, coba memutus hariI cry about everything before I sleep, trying to end the day.
Tahun baru datang lagiThe new year comes again,
Buat catatan resolusimaking notes of resolutions.
Harapanku tata rapiI organize my hopes neatly,
Tetap berakhir basibut they still end up stale.
Hanya wacana tak dijalaniJust plans never acted upon.
Mereka berlari, aku sendiriThey are running, I am alone.
Tiba akhir tahun menantiThe end of the year arrives, just waiting.
Hari ini aku kalah lagiToday, I lost again.
Bukan masalah, masih ada esok hariIt’s not a problem, there’s still tomorrow.
Setidaknya tidurku cukup malam iniAt least I’ll get enough sleep tonight.
Pejamkan mataClose my eyes,
Esok coba lawan lagitomorrow I’ll try to fight again.
Kucari-cari setiap solusiI search for every solution,
Percaya isi pikiran paling pastibelieving my own thoughts are the most certain.
Ternyata masalahnya diri sendiriIt turns out the problem is myself.
Ha, hari iniAh, today.
Hari ini ku kalah lagiToday, I lost again.
Berkendara di jalan sepiDriving on an empty road,
Ditemani sisa hujan basahi kaca iniaccompanied by the remaining rain wetting this windshield.
Radio bisu hanya suara dalam hatiThe radio is silent, only the voice in my heart speaks.
Mata sembab, air mata tak kunjung pergiPuffy eyes, the tears won’t go away.
Memikirkan masalah bertubi-tubiThinking about endless problems.
Seperti hilang koneksi, teman sendiriLike losing connection with my own friends.
Banyak menduga dan menghakimi, miskomunikasiLots of guessing and judging, miscommunication.
Harapan terlalu tinggiHopes are too high.
Tak ada ruang untukku menangis, besok harus senyum lagiThere’s no room for me to cry, tomorrow I have to smile again.
Tahun baru datang lagiThe new year comes again,
Buat catatan resolusimaking notes of resolutions.
Harapanku tata rapiI organize my hopes neatly,
Tetap berakhir basibut they still end up stale.
Hanya wacana tak dijalaniJust plans never acted upon.
Mereka berlari, aku sendiriThey are running, I am alone.
Tiba akhir tahun menantiThe end of the year arrives, just waiting.
Hari ini aku kalah lagiToday, I lost again.
Bukan masalah, masih ada esok hariIt’s not a problem, there’s still tomorrow.
Setidaknya tidurku cukup malam iniAt least I’ll get enough sleep tonight.
Pejamkan mataClose my eyes,
Esok coba lawan lagitomorrow I’ll try to fight again.
Kucari-cari setiap solusiI search for every solution.
Percaya isi pikiran paling pastiI trusted my thoughts, thinking they were always right,
Ternyata masalahnya diri sendiribut it turns out that I’m my own biggest problem.
Ha, hari iniHa, today,
Hari ini ku kalah lagiI’ve lost once again today.
Senyum palsu di depan cerminI wear a fake smile in front of the mirror,
Meyakinkan diri bahwa semua mungkinconvincing myself that everything is still possible.
Walau hari ini ku kalah lagiEven though I’ve lost again today,
Bukan berarti selamanya seperti iniit doesn’t mean it’ll be like this forever.
Senyum palsu di depan cerminI wear a fake smile in front of the mirror,
Meyakinkan diri bahwa semua mungkinconvincing myself that everything is still possible.
Walau hari ini ku kalah lagiEven though I’ve lost again today,
Bukan berarti selamanya seperti iniit doesn’t mean it’ll be like this forever.
Senyum palsu di depan cerminI wear a fake smile in front of the mirror,
Meyakinkan diri bahwa semua mungkinconvincing myself that everything is still possible.
Walau hari ini ku kalah lagiEven though I’ve lost again today,
Bukan berarti selamanya seperti iniit doesn’t mean it’ll be like this forever.
