The narrative weaves between personal struggles and the desire to return to a loved one.
Tuang gelas ketigaI’m pouring a third glass,
Malam di teras rumahspending the night on the house porch.
Sembari bertanya di kacaWhile asking my reflection in the mirror,
Apa kabarmu, kawan?“How are you doing, friend?”
Masih betah, gak mau pulangYou’re still comfortable here, not wanting to go home.
Ah-ah, gak mau pulangAh, you don’t want to go back.
Tenggak gelas keempat, habis ditelan, ku menggumamI gulp down a fourth glass, and after swallowing it, I mutter,
Pulang“Go home.”
Rodaku berputar-putar mengikuti anginMy wheels keep spinning, following the wind.
Dia bawa ku kembali ke jalan yang belum pastiIt brings me back to an uncertain path,
Kembali ke kitaback to the two of us.
MemangIndeed,
Kembali ke kitaback to us.
MemangIndeed,
Kembali ke kitaback to us.
Memang, ku ingin pulangIndeed, I want to go home.
Yeah, yeahYeah, yeah.
Perantau seribu pulauA wanderer across a thousand islands,
Cari apa yang kurangsearching for what’s missing.
Masa lalu yang kelamA dark past,
Yang kau harap bisa hilangthat you hope will just disappear.
Agama tarekatmu jaga sampai ajal menjemputYou guard your faith and ‘spiritual path’ until death comes for you.
Ini bagaikan bunga dan lebah juga perjalanan tanpa hala tujuThis is like a flower and a bee, a journey without a clear destination.
Apalah artinya rumah kalau cuma ada aku di situ?What’s the point of a home if I’m the only one there?
Pada-Nya ku berlautIn Him, I sail the seas.
Pada-Nya ku berlabuhIn Him, I find my anchor.
Berdoa pencarian ini berujung kita berdua bertautI pray this search ends with the two of us joined together.
PulangGo home.
Rodaku berputar-putar mengikuti anginMy wheels keep spinning, following the wind.
Dia bawa ku kembali ke jalan yang belum pastiIt brings me back to an uncertain path,
Kembali ke kitaback to the two of us.
MemangIndeed,
Kembali ke kitaback to us.
MemangIndeed,
Kembali ke kitaback to us.
Memang, ku ingin pulangIndeed, I want to go home.
Berbekal doa dari mereka yang mengaminiEquipped with prayers from those who say ‘Amen’,
Semoga kau dapatkan apa yang kau cariI hope you find exactly what you’re looking for.
Namun, kembali ke kitaBut still, back to the two of us.
MemangIndeed,
Kembali ke kitaback to us.
MemangIndeed,
Kembali ke kitaback to us.
Memang, ku ingin pulangIndeed, I want to go home.
Untuk pasangankuFor my partner.
Yang membuatku bercerminThe one who makes me look in the mirror,
Dengan sumpah kita bersatuwith the vow that we’re united,
Hadapi panas dan dinginfacing the heat and the cold.
AminAmen.
Kuangkat gelas bersulang untukI raise a glass to toast,
Mereka para penulis pilu yang habis-habisan semalam suntukthose sorrowful writers who worked tirelessly all night long.
Menulis tentangmuWriting about you,
Curahan keluhan, tangisanmuthe outpouring of your complaints and your tears,
Yang dominan ada di kepalamuthe thoughts that dominate your mind.
Coba tunjukkan beringas teriakmuGo ahead and show the ferocity of your scream,
Biar akhirnya mereka juga tahuso that they finally understand too.
Pengalaman dalam dirimu yang penuh renungan, peramal curi waktuThe reflections within your experience, where fortune tellers steal time,
Temukan jawab pertanyaankufind the answer to my question.
Terangi jalan, semoga kau bawakuLight the way, I hope you’ll take me
Pulanghome.
Rodaku berputar-putar mengikuti anginMy wheels keep turning, following the wind,
Dia bawa ku kembali ke jalan yang belum pastiit carries me back to an uncertain path.
Kembali ke kitaBack to us,
Memangindeed.
Kembali ke kitaBack to us,
Memangindeed.
Kembali ke kitaBack to us,
Memang, ku ingin pulangindeed, I want to go home.
Mereka tuduh ku pembangkang, memang aku bukan penurutThey accuse me of being a rebel; I’ve never been one to follow rules.
Mereka tuduh ku penjilat, juga tuduh ku pengecutThey call me a sell-out and accuse me of being a coward.
Pandangan yang kadang buatku terpojok dan tersulutThese judgments sometimes leave me cornered and triggered,
Lupa aku manusia dengan hati pasang surutforgetting that I’m just a human with a heart that ebbs and flows.
Yeah, wahYeah, wow.
Memang ku beginiThis is just who I am,
Nasib sang perintisthe fate of a pioneer.
Situasi yang kritisIn a critical situation,
Still, I’m standing on business, ahI’m still standing on business, ah.
Ini bukan laguThis isn’t just a song,
Bisa jadi puisiit could be a poem.
Perfeksionis akutAn acute perfectionist,
Memang aku beginithis is just who I am.
Rodaku berputar-putar mengikuti anginMy wheels keep turning, following the wind,
Dia bawa ku kembali ke jalan yang belum pastiit carries me back to an uncertain path.
Kembali ke kitaBack to us,
Memangindeed.
Kembali ke kitaBack to us,
Memangindeed.
Kembali ke kitaBack to us,
Memang, ku ingin pulangindeed, I want to go home.
Berbekal doa dari mereka yang mengaminiArmed with the prayers of those who believe in me,
Semoga kau dapatkan apa yang kau cariI hope you find whatever it is you’re looking for.
Namun, kembali ke kitaBut, it always comes back to us.
MemangIndeed,
