.Feast • From “Membangun & Menghancurkan”
o,Tuan Lyrics Translation (from “Membangun & Menghancurkan”)
.Feast sings about withering flowers, drying grass, and yellow leaves. The line “I promise I’ll let go willingly, but not today” repeats in the chorus, hinting at delayed surrender. The lyricist writes the verses without tangled metaphors, showing a direct fear of the operating room.
Oh jelas aku tahuOh, I clearly know
Bunga akan layuThat flowers will wither,
Rumput kian mengeringGrass keeps drying up,
Daun ‘kan menguningAnd leaves will turn yellow.
Kau tahu menurutkuYou know, in my view,
Waktu adalahTime is a
KutukanCurse,
AncamanThreat,
BualanNonsense.
Dan satu per satuAnd one by one,
Orang sekitarkuThe people around me
Mulai ditinggalkanAre starting to be left behind,
Oh ini peringatanOh, this is a warning.
Untukku o TuanFor me, oh Lord,
Wahai KematianOh, Death,
Ku tak bisa melawanI can’t fight back,
Jamah perhentianTouching the final stop
Berjanji kuikhlaskan dengan relaI promise I’ll let go willingly,
Namun jangan hari iniBut just not today.
Melihatmu masuk ke dalam ruang operasiSeeing you enter the operating room,
Berdoa semalam suntukPraying all night long
Di kamar yang heningIn a silent room.
Tanpa metafora dan analogiWithout metaphors and analogies,
Kiasan berbelit diksiTangled metaphors of diction,
Tanpa berbungkus fiksiUnwrapped in fiction,
Aku takutI’m scared.
Untuknya o TuanFor them, oh Lord,
Wahai KematianOh, Death,
Ku tak bisa melawanI can’t fight back,
Jamah perhentianTouching the final stop
Berjanji kuikhlaskan dengan relaI promise I’ll let go willingly,
Namun jangan hari iniBut just not today.
KurelakanI’ll let go,
O TuanOh Lord,
KurelakanI’ll let go,
Namun jangan hari iniBut just not today.
KurelakanI’ll surrender,
O TuanOh Lord,
KurelakanI’ll surrender,
Namun jangan hari iniBut just not today.
KurelakanI’ll let go,
O TuanOh Lord,
KurelakanI’ll let go,
Namun jangan hari iniBut just not today,
Namun jangan hari iniBut just not today.
