I wish

"I dig my toes into the sand
The Ocean looks like a thousand diamonds
Strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind
Pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment I am happy happy

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here

I lay my head onto the sand
The sky resembles a backlit canopy
With holes punched in it
I'm counting UFOs
I signal them with my lighter
And in this moment I am happy happy

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
Wish you were here

The worlds' a roller coaster
And I am not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care
But my hands are busy in the air saying

I wish you were here
I wish you were

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
Wish you were here"

lentur buluh dari rebungnya,

Agar tertanam resmi padi;

Kasih ibu bawa ke syurga,

Kasih ayah kekal abadi.

"dan ia tidak pernah merasa, sebab derita itu adalah dia."

Mata Ayah

"Kujabat mesra tangan ayah
urat-urat daging-daging tua keras terasa
mataku tersenyum, matanya menyapa
anak yang pulang disambut mesra.

Tapi matanya, mata yang menatapku
kolam-kolam derita dan pudar bulan pagi
garis-garis putih lesu melingkungi hitam-suram
suatu kelesuan yang tak pernah dipancharkan dulu.

Kelibat senyum matanya masih jua ramah
akan menutup padaku kelesuan hidup sendiri
bagai dalam suratnya dengan kata-kata riang
memintaku pulang menikmati beras baru.

Anak yang pulang disisi ayahnya, maka akulah
merasakan kepedihan yang terchermin dimata
meski kain pelekatnya bersih dalam kesegaran wudhu'
dan ia tidak pernah merasa, sebab derita itu adalah dia."

Selagi berada di bumi tuhan,
syukur selalu kembali bertemu.

Sebuah penghormatan untuk lagu Berada
oleh Aman RA ft. Altimet & Noh Salleh

Ketupat dianyam saling menyatu,
Sebagai tanda suci lebaran;
Bersyukur kita pada Yang Satu,
Syawal dirai penuh keriangan.

"Tiga ratus pendekar enam puluh hantu,
tujuh lekuk sakti-ku mari tikam batu;
lidahku kerisku menari-menari,
keris bukan sebarang keris namanya Taming Sari."

Rejuvenate

Hatred is a serial killer
proud and boast too

Bragging is like banging
your head to the wall

Too many complaints until the plain
wall turns to dirt

Poison minds renegade our souls

Rejuvenate, Pure Hearts!

Let the petals of peace bloom
and the scents of love arouse

Rejuvenate, Pure Hearts!

Let the bond remains
and all hearts cure

Rejuvenate, Pure Hearts!

Speak the truth
and spread the love

Rejuvenate, Pure Hearts!

Lend a hand
and walk hand in hand

Rejuvenate, Pure Hearts!

When the sun sets
and the night falls
The poison will heal, recover, and cure

Rejuvenate, Pure Hearts!

old is gold

I was the young gun then,
a classic man now.

Sedangkan burung berpagi-pagian,
terbang tinggi mencari rezeki;
alangkah rugi bermalas-malasan,
bangun bangkit hari dah tinggi.

sehari-hari

Hari terbit Kurnia Ilahi,

sinar mentari terangi alam;

bangkit kita terus berbakti,

adatnya kita pewaris Adam.

Hari yang lelah kini melabuh,

disambut senja malam menanti;

itulah aturan nikmat seluruh,

Kuasa yang Esa tidak berganti.

Kelam malam kelawar terbang,

tetap terisi dahaga lapar;

yakinlah kita rezeki yang datang,

tetap cukup untuk yang sedar.

Terang bulan terang malam,

menyuluh bumi tunduk menyepi;

terang kalbu sujud yang dalam;

menyuluh hati insan yang erti.

Kokok jantan sedar berjaga,

setia menyeru jiwa yang erti;

sedar dan syukur limpah kurnia,

tenang meniti sehari-hari.
