membekas pada sisa senyumnya
tawa terlepas,,,
pada air mata sisa perang
Ada cerita yang tak terlupakan
tentang riwayat perjuangan,,
ketika tragedi berdarah,
menggilas jutaan nyawa tak bersalah
Pahlawan renta,
kini telah terlupa,,
walau dahulu kekar tangannya
mengangkat senjata menyabung nyawa,,
Rasa gentar,tak pernah menyapa,,
untuk mengusir musuh dan penjajah
demi putra bangsa,,
demi putra tumpah darah mereka
Pahlawan renta,
kini telah terlupa,
banyak kata mengucap semu tentangnya
namun mereka sering mengumpat
adakah yang tahu,,,?
seorang pahlawan renta,,
kini jadi peminta-minta
terjajah oleh kemerdekaan yang pernah di raihnya
adakah hati kita yang masih iba,,,?
Despite the doubts and troubles that you've gone through,
BalasHapusThere is no doubt at all about your love.
Though many now change partners when they want to,
You've found your one and chosen not to move.
In doing so, you've given me a picture
More beautiful than any I might draw,
More potent than the most persuasive lecture,
With far more force than any rule or law.
So much you've given me! Yet what you've given
Of love and time and money and concern
Is less than what I've seen as you have striven
To make your lives a lesson I might learn.
I'm grateful for the things you did and do,
But even more, for what you made of you.
