Lyrics

Halaman ini untuk menampung lirik-lirik lagu kesukaan saya di masa lalu…

Ketika saya sekolah pascasarjana di Bloomington, jika hati ini sedang sedih, saya selalu mendengarkan 2 buah lagu: “Superman” oleh Barbra Streisand dan “Bridge over Troubled Water” dari Simon & Garfunkel. Ajaib, setelah mendengarkan 2 lagu tersebut, biasanya saya ingin tidur dan setelah bangun tidur….rasa sedih sudah tidak ada lagi…

Kadangkala, waktu ingin diberi motivasi, saya juga mendengarkan lagu-lagu Mike + The Mechanics. Salah satunya adalah “The Living Years” yang ada kata-katanya “Don’t give up !!”. Ada satu lagu lagi yang salah satu bait syairnya berbunyi “I changed my name, I changed my face….”, tapi judul lagu dari Mike + The Mechanics ini apa, saya belum nemu euy….soalnya harus melihat satu demi satu dari 40 lagu yang ada.

Ketika jaman SMA, jika hati sedang sedih, saya suka mendengarkan lagu “If” dari Bread..

Tapi waktu SMP, jika saya lagi sedih, saya suka mendengarkan lagu “Oh My Love” dan “Oh Yoko” keduanya oleh John Lennon…

Tapi saya tidak tahu, yang berarti itu lagunya atau lyric-nya, tapi ya mungkin kedua-duanya…

SUPERMAN

By Barbra Streisand

Baby I can fly like a bird
When you touch me with your eyes
Flying through the sky
I’ve never felt the same
But I am not a bird and I am not a plane
I’m superman
When you love me it’s easy
I can do almost anything
Watch me turn around, one wing up and one wing down
I never thought I could fall in love for good
I’m superman
When you love me it’s easy
My sweet life has just begun
I’m in love this time
And I know I have it
Fell into my life so I grabbed it
There’s nothing I can do
When I’m with you
I’m superman
Cause I’m with you
It’s easy
My sweet life has just begun
I’m in love this time
And I know I have it
Fell into my life so I grabbed it
There’s nothing I can do
Cause I’m with you
I’m superman

BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER

By Simon and Garfunkel

When you’re weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them allI’m on your side

When times get rough
And friends just can’t be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you’re down and out
When you’re on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you

I’ll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on Silver Girl,
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way

See how they shine
If you need a friend
I’m sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

THE LIVING YEARS
Mike + The MechanicsEvery generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door

I know that I’m a prisoner
To all my Father held so dear
I know that I’m a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
I’m afraid that’s all we’ve got

You say you just don’t see it
He says it’s perfect sense
You just can’t get agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language
Talking in defence

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It’s too late when we die
To admit we don’t see eye to eye

So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
It’s the bitterness that lasts

So Don’t yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective
On a different day
And if you don’t give up, and don’t give in
You may just be O.K.

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It’s too late when we die
To admit we don’t see eye to eye

I wasn’t there that morning
When my Father passed away
I didn’t get to tell him
All the things I had to say

I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
I’m sure I heard his echo
In my baby’s new born tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It’s too late when we die
To admit we don’t see e

IF

by David Gates(from musical group “Bread”)

If a picture paints a thousand words
Then why can’t I paint you?
The words will never show
For you I’ve come to know.
If a face could launch a thousand ships
Then where am I to go?
There’s no one home but you
And now you’ve left me too.
And when my love for life is running dry
You come and pour yourself on me
If a man could be two places at one time
I’d be with you.
Tomorrow and today
Beside you all the way
If the world should stop revolving
Spinning slowly down to die.
I’d spend the end with you
And when the world was through…
Then one by one, the stars would all go out.
Then you and I, would simply fly away.ye to eye

Oh My Love

by John Lennon

Oh my love for the first time in my life

My eyes are wide open

Oh my lover for the first time in my life

My eyes can see

I see the wind,

oh I see the trees

Everything is clear in my heart

I see the clouds,

oh I see the sky

Everything is clear in our world

Oh my love for the first time in my life

My mind is wide open

Oh my lover for the first time in my life

My mind can feel

I feel sorrow,

oh I feel dreams

Everything is clear in my heart

Everything is clear in our world

I feel life,

oh I feel love

Oh Yoko

by John Lennon

In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night I call your name
Oh Yoko, oh Yoko, my love will turn you on
In the middle of the bath
In the middle of the bath I call your name
Oh Yoko, oh Yoko, my love will turn you on
My love will turn you onIn the middle of a shave
In the middle of a shave I call your name
Oh Yoko, oh Yoko, my love will turn you on

In the middle of a dream
In the middle of a dream I call your name
Oh Yoko, oh Yoko, my love will turn you on
My love will turn you on

In the middle of a cloud
In the middle of a cloud I call your name
Oh Yoko, oh Yoko, my love will turn you on
Oh Yoko, oh Yoko, oh Yoko, oh Yoko
