Terjemahan Lagu Wonder - Lauren Aquilina :)

Hell-o, everyone. Miss me? HAHA

Aku lagi pengalihan tugas Discourse nih. Jadinya nerjemahin lirik lagu kesayangan :) Judulnya ‘Wonder’ dari penyanyi asal Inggris, Lauren Aquilina. Maaf ya, terjemahannya level newbie banget. Maklum bre, masih kuliah.. (excuse aje lu Deb, ah!) If anything goes wrong, I’ll gladly consider your comment. Enjoy!

I can't control my feelings
I can't control my thoughts
I'm staring at the ceiling
Wondering how I got so caught

Tak bisa mengendalikan perasaanku
Tak bisa mengendalikan pikiranku
Kupandangi langit-langit
Memikirkan bagaimana aku tenggelam seperti ini (1)

You're completely off limits
For more reasons than just one,
but I can't stop

Kau benar-benar di luar jangkauan(2)
Untuk banyak alasan
Tapi aku tak bisa nerhenti

You're aware of my existence,
but you don't know I'm here
You're the center of attention
You control the atmosphere

Kau sadari kehadiranku
Tapi kau tak tahu aku disini
Kau lah pusat perhatianku (3)
Kau yang mengendalikan atmosfir

You're so busy being busy,
I don't want to interfere
But I can't stop

Kau sangat sibuk menjadi sibuk
Aku tidak mau mengganggumu
Tapi aku tak bisa berhenti

So I'll remain within your aim,
until my thoughts can travel somewhere new
My mind is blind to everything but you
And I wonder if you wonder about me, too

jadi ku kan bertahan dalam tujuanmu
hingga pikiranku bisa pergi ke tempat yang baru
pikiranku dibutakan dengan segala tentangmu
dan aku memikirkan apakah kau memikirkanku juga

If you were to stop talking
I don't know what I'd do
The future's fall is daunting
Walking into it with you

Jika kau bermaksud berhenti bicara
Aku tidak tahu apa yang akan kulakukan
Masa depan begitu menakutkan
Menjalani masa itu denganmu

So drink 'til you can't think it,
pretend I'm what you choose
'cause I can't stop

Minumlah hingga kau tak bisa memikirkannya
Berpura-puralah aku yang kau pilih
Karena aku tak bisa berhenti

So I'll remain within your aim,
until my thoughts can travel somewhere new
My mind is blind to everything but you
My mind is blind to everything but you
And I wonder if you wonder about me

jadi ku kan bertahan dalam tujuanmu
hingga pikiranku bisa pergi ke tempat yang baru
pikiranku dibutakan dengan segala tentangmu
pikiranku dibutakan dengan segala tentangmu
dan aku memikirkan apakah kau memikirkanku

So I'll remain within your aim
until my thoughts can travel somewhere new
My mind is blind to everything but you
And I wonder if you wonder about me too

jadi ku kan bertahan dalam tujuanmu
hingga pikiranku bisa pergi ke tempat yang baru
pikiranku dibutakan dengan segala tentangmu
dan aku memikirkan apakah kau memikirkanku juga

(1) ‘Got so caught’ literally means being involved even if we dont want to. Biar puitis dan masuk ke keseluruhan lirik lagu, dirubah jadi ‘tenggelam seperti ini’.
(2) ‘off-limits’ itu artinya ‘forbidden’ tapi biasanya kata sifat ini buat wilayah gitu. Nah, jadi saya berpikir kalo ini tuh ada figure of speech-nya. Jadi, biar sisi puitisnya tetep ada saya artiin ‘di luar jangkauan’.
(3) Sebenernya ga ada possessive pronoun ‘my’ tapi aku tambahin di artinya jadi ‘perhatianku’, biar tetep kerasa romance-nya.. dan lagipula janggal aja kalo ngedenger ‘kau lah pusat perhatian’ atau ‘kau bagai pusat perhatian’.

Apology

My sun..
It is a sorry for I cannot 
bury you on my anonymous land
It is a sorry for I am powerless
to separate todays and yesterdays
It is a sorry for I'm too feeble
to rip off our memories into pieces

My sun..
It is a sorry for I always
track your memorial paths
It is a sorry for I'm getting used to
wrap up your remaining shadows
It is a sorry for I'm glad
to wake up and found you shining on my days

My sun..
Deep condolences for I cannot forget you
Deep condolences for I'm not ready to lose you
Deep condolences for I'm way too far loving you




p.s. you know for whom this poem is created.

Long Distance Relationship

Love, you think? Yes, it is about love..
A true love from my family :)

Just now, my 10-year-old sister who is really fierce, harsh, and boyish texted me.

nasywa : ebod

I did not reply, because I was too busy with my proposal.
Few hours later, she texted me again.

nasywa : nj naon embi , cape te :~) (what are you doing, embi? are you tired?)

me : (amazed) Nju ngerjakeun tgas kneh. Cape, tapi da kudu beres :) (still doing my assignment. I'm tired, but it has to be done)

nasywa : oh sing tereh beres atuh :) (hopefully it can be done soon)

me : okeh :D

nasywa: dadah good night sister :)

me : (startled) Good night :*

It was.. weird, you know. We always fight whenever I'm home (I know, it sounds not normal to fight a kid for me..). But see, this long distance does not give us a chance to attack each other :D this long distance makes us close. this long distance makes my devilish enemy become my cute angel who is worth missing. Long distance is.. another God's play :)

B3

I don't know if in the next year's December I still could see them...


They are my very first friends in the university..

I remember I firstly met Meydi on MOKA ..

I remember that Fajar was the only classmate I knew before I knew the other classmates, because he was in the same group of "KAB" with me..

I remember Riska with her harsh face was the first person to whom I introduced myself in the class..

I remember I got close to Retta when we were gossipping about something during PAI class..

I remember I was amazed by Wahyu's TOEFL quiz' score in the Reading for General Communication class..

I remember the first impression I saw from Fitri was.. she compared her nickname with a bird in Speaking class..

I remember Mak Novi was so active and not shy at all to meet new people when we firstly attended the class..

I remember I made a joke with Odon. I pretended that actually we were from the same high school, because he was from SMAN 6, and I was from SMAN 6 as well. Haha, the difference lies only on the city..

I remember Buls was so close with the boys..

I remember I thought that Risty and Neni were from the same high school because they were so close, and their body size were pretty similar: small, if I could tell :p

I remember I made a joke to Elis because her origin was always changing whenever the lecturer asked where she is from..

I remember I firstly did not want to disturb Nyueh because her face reminded me the one I hated in junior 
high school..

I remember that in the beginning of the college's life, Azhari was seen as the most religious person in the class..

I remember that I thought that Aldo and Zul would be best friends even if they came from different high school.. and they are now..  

I remember the first impression of Indar was .. so fierce.. haha because her accent was like scolding someone to whom she spoke..

I remember the first impression of Yurfa was "Whoaaa he is so high!"

I remember Dyah's appearance was so.. emo-ish (?) 

But..

 I dont know.. I  really dont know.. if in the future I would get to see us together like this..

Wahyu - Fajar - Debi - Yurfa - Adisa - Nur - Azhari - Doni
Anisah - Fitri - Wulan - Raita - Novi - Riska - Meydi - Risty - Elis


Selamat PPL, selamat berskripsi ria :'))

Don't Let Me Die

I’m nothing but a dry grass waiting for the rain to be over me

But all I do is daydreaming to gulp a drop of an oasis

I’m tortured living in the middle of summer’s eternity

My chance of life is now wrapped around a ticking bomb

Cause there’s nothing I could do any less anymore

I will just need to linger till the death gives me a call

Unless you arise and erase my foredoomed infinity




p.s. Dear my sweet sun.. this poem is (again) for you. Understand this, could you please?
