Merenungi alam semestaI’m contemplating the vast universe,
Merintih ke langitwhile crying out to the heavens.
Di sumbu bumi yang sesakIn this crowded world,
Jiwaku dipelukmy soul is held in an embrace.
Lihat aku yang penuh lukaLook at me, covered in wounds,
Berantakan sekaliand so completely messy.
Bolehkah aku memintaMay I please ask,
Renggut pilu ini?that you take away this pain?
Jauh aku mencari tempat mengaduI’ve searched far for a place to confide,
Padahal kau dekat dengankueven though you’re always near me.
Dan kubersumpahAnd I give you my word,
Tiada yang lain selain dirimuthere’s no one else but you.
Runtuh pertahananku dan sok kuatkuMy defenses and my false strength have crumbled,
Kuakui kelemahankuas I admit my own weaknesses.
Dan kuberjanjiAnd I promise you,
Takkan habis puja-puji melangitkanmuthat my praises ‘sent skyward’ to you will never end.
