SAKSI MATI

(DOM Aceh)

Lihat lah bagaimana kumpulan tulang- belulang kami dinistakan

Sebagi jasad pebuktian

Tidakkah lubang peluru di tengkorak kami

cukup bukti akibat dor- ran Si Pai

Sepuluh tahun tidak cukup bagi tanah keabadian

memusnakan bukti- bukti bagi tulang- tulang kami yang di patah paksa

Kulit dan daging kami memang telah menjadi tanah,

tapi bukan alasan pelarian tanggung jawab kebiadaban.

English Version :

The Dead Witness

(Territorial Military Operation : DOM Aceh)

Look how a bunch of our bones has been insulted

as the authentication body

Is the holes ofbullet on our skull

not sufficient enough to prove the Pai’s* shots

Ten years are not enough for the land of eternity

Annihilate the proofs of our bones which are broken down forcefully

Our skin and flesh has indeed become soils

But that is not the reason for escaping from the responsibilities of impertinence

* Pai’s : Mention names for Military where have been tasking in Aceh as long as Aceh during Conflict between 1988 untilAugust 15, 2005.

TAKADASATU PUN

Dan musik pun tak lagi merdu disaat regean hujan belum juga reda

Dan alunan syair- syair lagu pun tak lagi indah di telinga sang bumi

Ketika sang jagat mulai angkuh dengan keperkasaannya

Tergeletak layu mawar di hati

Laksana rembulan tergilas surya

Bekukan niat ‘ntuk ber-sua

Ribuan juta bintang menjuntai tangan berhasrat menari dimalam jula

Menikmati fenomena angkasa dan mabuk bersama anggur jagat bermesra

bersama gulita

Berdansa dalam panggung awan dan disinari lampu bintang

Dari arah pintu angin utara ia menjelma

Sesosok mawar jingga tertusuk duri rana duka

Terbawa harum hembusan angin

Melanglang layang tak tentu arah

Semburat kata menyesal terngiang kembali

Adalah sisa sebuah jelmaan kata.

Tanpa ada yang bisa mengubahnya kembali

Dan jika ada yang berkata hari ini bumi dalam bahagia maka akulah alam dalam

keadaan luka.

English Version:

There is Nothing

And music is no longer beautiful when the sound ofrain not yet ends

And the series oflyrics do not sound beautifully through the earth’s ear

When the world becomes pround of its power

The rose lies down and wilts in the heart

Like the moon ground down by the sun

Freezing the wish to meet

Thousands million of star dangles hands arouse to dance in the night dangling

Enjoy the space phenomenon and got drunk with wines all over the world to intimate

with darkness

From the door of the North He assumes a form

A piece of bright orange rose bitten by a sorrowful thorn

Brought by the fragrance of the wind

Roaming without any destination

A disperse of regretful words heard again

is as residues of the converted word

Without anything can change it back

And if someone says todaythe earth is in happiness then it is me who is I am the nature

in the injured condition

ILLUSIKEBAHAGIANYANGTANDAS

Kau hadirkan keindahan

Kau wujudkan kebahagian

Serasa kebahagian itu abadi

Kau buai aku bersama kelembutan

Kau sandarkan aku kenyamanan

Hanya kau-lah saat itu dewa dan aku laksana dewi

Terabaikan oleh kita suatu pertalian suci

Pelaminan-pun kini menjadi mimpi

Karena esok kenyataan menghampiri

Dan aku masih mesti sendiri

Lalu apa yang terjadi

Ketika aku harus mengucapkan

‘Selamat Tinggal’ Aku lari……

English Version:

A Demolished Happiness Illusion

You presented a beauty

You made the happiness real

As if it was truly eternal

You swang me with softness

That time, you were just a god and I am a goddess

Being disregarded by us the holy relation

And the wedding became a dream

For the fact came the day after

And still I had to keep myself alone

So what happened

When I had to say

‘Good bye’ I ran away……….

GUMAM

Si Merah senja kuharap datang

Menjemput indah nya malam

Namun kegelapan yang kau bawa

Tak mampu bias sinar rembulan dan kerlip bintang

Mereka tenggelam bersama kelelahan mu

Ia kehilangan cahaya bersama keburaman mu

Kapan lagi kau datang dalam sebenarnya datang

Datang yang mampu biaskan sinar rembulan

English Version:

A Murmuring

The red twilight will come,

I hope to pick up the beuty of night

But the darkness you bring

Unable to bias the moonlight and the blink of stars

They sink along with your fatigue

He lost the light as your vague occurs

When will you come again in real arrival

The arrival which can bias the moonlight

DEWA KURSI

(Kekuasaan Yang Timpang)

Banyak orang memperebutkan Kursi.

Begitu pentingnya Kursi.

Hingga orang beranian mematikan sejumlah orang demi Kursi.

Kursi, bagi kami kamu terlalu mengerikan

Melihat sepak terjang mu,

tidaklah pantas bagi mu menjadi symbol kekuasaan.

Bila kami kau cerai berai. Karena dipastikan kamu akan pincang,

Maka jadilah kamu Kekuasaan yang pincang.

Haaaah!!!

English Version:

(the Unstable Power)

Many people fight for a chair.

How important the chair is,

So that people dare to kill others just for the chair.

Chair, you are very horrible for us

Looking at your attitudes

You do not deserve to be the symbol of power

If we are in pieces, because it is sure that you will be unstable

So that you be the unstable power

Haaaaah!!!!!!

KEMERDEKAANABADI

Kepada saudara-saudara ku di ujung pulau penantian

Keniscayaan itu semakin tampak nyata

Ketika keraguan mencapai titik kehancuran

Mengalir bersama darah-darah suci keberanian

Ketika harta benda tak bisa lagi memberi ketenangan

Pangkat dan jabatan sudah tak memiliki makna

Lalu apalagi yang hendak kita banggakan

diantara puing-puing bangunan kehancuran dan keretakan pilar-pilar menara kedamain

Tidakkah hijrah dari segala kezaliman, pengkhianatan, kepura-puraan,

pembodohan, penghilangan paksa,

akan lebih baik dari pada terus bertahan berkubangan dengan Lumpur-Lumpur kekufuran

Saudara-saudara ku di Ujung pulau penantian, bersabarlah dan terus bertawakkal.

Tangan-tangan tuhan akan segera merengkuhmu sekalian dalam kapal-kapal keselamatan,

memayungimu dengan rindang pepohonan peneduhan,

membawa mu jauh dari malapetaka keduniawian. Yakni kematian.

Karena hanya kematian –lah wujud sebuah pelepasan segala penjajahan,

perampasan, pengkhianatan, penzaliman.

Semuanya lepas

Bebas

Itu lah kebebasan, kemerdekaan yang abadi.

English Version:

To my brothers in the edge of waiting island

The certainty seems to be more real

When the doubt reaches the point of destruction

Flowing with the holy bravery bloods

When the wealth cannot give peace any longer

Rank and position mean nothing

So what we will be proud of among the ruins of broken buildings and

The crack of peace tower pillars

Isn’t the movement from all evil, betrayal. Hypocrites, fooling,

Forceful elimination, better than to keep in the swamp of stupid mud

My brothers in the edge of waiting island, hold on and pray, the arms of God will hold you all

In the saviour ships, protect you with the leafy shading trees, bring you far from the earthly disaster, that is the DEATH

Because only the death is the realization of a release from being colonized, robbed, betrayed and despised.

Everything has been released

Free

That is freedom, an eternal freedom.
