Sadness
mengapa bersedih
mengapa menangis
tak habis-habis
anggur tak terasa manis
why are you sad
why do you cry
never ending sore
this wine tastes sour

Politik Empiris
Orang narsis
Jangan sok eksis
Bikin orang meringis
Sampai ingin menangis
Orang politis
Jangan sok kritis
Cuma bikin krisis
Sampai sakit psikis
Para gadis
Jangan hanya manis
Belajarlah sedikit egois
Berjuang sampai habis
Para sinis
Tetaplah sedikit sadis
Walau hujan gerimis
Menambah rona puitis

Hujan dan Air Mata
lihatlah aku sendiri menangis tersedu
mengapa tak kau palingkan saja dari jendela lalu peluk aku
apa hujan yang turun di luar sana lebih pedih dari air mataku?

Titipan
Untuk W.S. Rendra
Milikku semua adalah titipan
Tapi karena aku terlalu lama memilikinya
Aku lupa bahwa itu bukan milikku
Dan tidak merelakannya saat aku kehilangan
Mengapa aku bersedih dan menganggapnya musibah
Tentu saja karena aku mencintainya
Aku terlalu mencintainya sebagai milikku
Padahal milikku semua adalah titipan
Lalu salahkah bila aku mencintainya
Sebagai milikku dan bukan titipan
Tapi harusnya tak kuhilangkan
Kesadaran dan kerelaan itu
Bahwa yang memberiku titipan
Juga sangat mencintai milik-Nya

Sang Pujaan
Dia terus saja memandangmu
Gadis yang melihat dari atas jendela
Dan gadis yang berpapasan di jalan
Dia jelas-jelas mengagumimu
Gadis pembuat kue
Dan gadis anak penjahit
Tapi mungkin kau tak menyadarinya
Hatimu begitu dingin dan acuh
Dia pasti mengincarmu
Gadis putri tuan tanah
Dan gadis penyanyi bar itu
Dia juga diam-diam mencintaimu
Gadis pemalu yang tak sanggup memandangmu
Dan gadis sahabat yang ada di dekatmu
Tapi mungkin kau tak peduli
Hatimu sangat dingin dan tak tersentuh
Siapakah dia yang akan kau ajak ke pesta?
Siapakah dia yang akan kau ajak berdansa?
Gadis yang cantikkah atau biasa saja
Siapakah dia yang akan kau pilih?
Siapakah dia yang mencuri perhatianmu?
Gadis yang ceriakah atau gadis yang lembut
Seisi kota begitu ingin tahu tentangmu
Tapi kau masih saja berjalan dengan santai
Mengapa kau begitu mempesona setiap gadis?
Mengapa tak kau pilih salah satu saja?
Gadis yang kau kenal baik atau gadis yang dijodohkan
Berilah kesempatan pada para gadis untuk mendapatkanmu
Juga beri kesempatan para pria untuk mendapat gadis
Bila tak juga mencari seisi kota akan menjadi gila
Dia yang mencintaimu akan menyelamatkanmu
Dia yang kau cintai akan menyelamatkan kami semua!

an unhappy childhood of this man who names himself 'I'.....
i've seen this picture of you
on that far corner of the world
land of snow and you are inside that very thick
winter clothes
there is that smile in your face
and i am taking a closer look
it is sour.
i know what sour is. I've been one for forty years
wearing that
sour smile, and i have many reasons why a smile must be sour
for forty years
the reasons are sour
very sour
beyond those tastes of a hundred green lemons
or a green mango with some disturbing gums on its mouth
i burned all my pictures in college
except those when i was yet a boy beside my mama and our white dog
i was in grade one and i did not like school and mama forced me into it
i was selling chocolates and i ate them all and mama was mad at me and beat me with a stick
papa did not like me reading books as he does not know how to read
i climb trees and hide on the leaves and read stories
in our dialect and draw some pictures of women without their dresses on
you see i still have this picture of myself riding a carabao and hauling some wood and coconut palms
i take a close look of my own smile, It is very sour
and it tastes like yours, but perhaps mine is the worst
but i am happy now, i know how to suppress sour smiles, i know how to manage and project myself
i smile like a cow now, and laugh like a horse
because all of them are dead.

Perang Bayang
pernah kulihat tanpa terkenang
pernah kutahan sebatas sayang
rinduku tuk dibelai hilang
oh, mengapa nasib dirundung malang
kuambil sebilah parang
maksud bertemu nenek moyang
di lubuk berkecamuk perang
hingga tanganku menghalang
tak jatuh ke taju pedang
dan terbang semua bimbang
matiku tak ingin meradang
seperti sapi potong siap dihidang
hidupku tak ingin kubuang
walau hanya selintas pandang

Where?
Dimanakah dirimu berada?
Di sepoi harum rumput habis dipotong
Di kertak dedaunan kering siap dibakar
Di keremangan hutan diterangi api unggun malam
Dimanakah pikiranmu berada?
Di persimpangan jalan menatap ranting penunjuk terabaikan
Di selubung sejuknya pembaringan tua yang nyaman
Di langit-langit kamar penuh bercak coklat yang liar
Dimanakah hatimu berada?
Di deru suara mesin motor yang perlahan menghilang
Di lubang kecil tersembunyi mengkerutkan senyuman
Di keringnya danau air mata dan impian

Never Ending
(words & music by kaye - springer)
Walk down to the beach at sunset
Look as far as you can see
You will find that endless ocean
And thats how my love will always be
I bring you never ending, never ending
Never ending, never ending
Never ending, never ending love
Look up at the sky at midnight
Gaze up on the starlit view
Just as heaven has no boundaries
Neither does my love for you
I bring you never ending, never ending
Never ending, never ending
Never ending, never ending love
Never ending love
Never ending love
Never ending love
Never ending love

Pain and Sore
What is pain
What is Sore
Let me define the too
They mean when a soul is dead
When there is nothing left
But emptiness
Where is pain
Where is sore
For me pain is everywhere
But for the sore
Thats only in my eyes
Where I cry all the time
How is pain
How is sore
Pain slowly kills a body
Sore is worse then words can explain
Who is pain
And who is sore
Pain is the enemies-thy sisters
As for the sore that would be my heart
When is pain
And when is sore
Pain is when you call
And sore is seeing everyone cry
All these are symbolizing one thing
That thing is whats inside
What hurts and is unbarriable
So thats what, where, how, who, when
Pain and Sore are

The Beginning Of The End
Composed and lyrics by valo
Your world is coming to its end
But you dont have to be afraid - Im here for you
Save your happiness for tomorrow
And today well drown in your tears
A drop of your blood tastes like wine today
Come closer my dear
It is just the beginning of the end
Yes, Im here for you
Save your happiness for tomorrow
And today well drown in your tears
A drop of your blood tastes like wine today
And because I love you so
And Im here for you
Save your happiness for tomorrow
And today well drown in your tears
A drop of your blood tastes like wine today
Save your happiness for tomorrow
And today well drown in your tears
Your blood tastes like life today
Will you let it rain

So wont you let it rain
Oh, let it rain

Sugar
shout, shout aloud
i still can't get enough
lover, i got sugar on the brain
these sun sets so fine, drink the heavy wine
lover never did the sugar thing
so shout it out
tell me it now
i need to know you wanna do those things
hope you can stay on
hope you lead me on
hope we can produce that special thing
take me away from this place
take me up into the space
moonshine, sunshine
brother i got sugar on the brain
shout, shout aloud
i still can't get enough
i wonder what relieves me from this pain
shine, shine your love
i hope you lead me on
lover, we got sugar on the brain
the sun sets so fine,
if you drink your heavy wine
lover never did the sugar thing
take me away from this place
take me up into the space
sugar
it tastes like sugar
moonshine, sunshine
any place you want count me in
moonshine, anytime
lover i got you, come here
it tastes like sugar
it tastes like sugar
it tastes like sugar
it tastes like sugar
it tastes like sugar
anytime, anyplace

Wine (Love Poem)
Wine is for laughing
Wine is for talking all night
Wine is for living life out loud
Wine is for making us beautiful
Wine is for all-night conversations
Wine is for getting together again
Wine is for ‘never again’ tomorrow
Wine is for sleeping like a baby
Wine is for telling the truth
Wine is food for love
Wine is friendship
Wine is fresh
Wine
Can
Be
The
One
Perfe ct
Companion
At the end of a long day

Love is sweet in the beginning but sour in the ending.
Shemally
It is flowing into the narrow stream,
But, who sets it freely as a will?
And like the water wine and the sour wine around you;
But, oh woman! ! Why are you now weeping?
To look in,
And like a sponge in the bathroom;
But the soldiers came in! !
And, it was on the first day of the week;
But, Shemally my friend came around to record this incident.

Setelah Perayaan
Terpuruk ku di sini
Di antara debu sisa-sisa kembang api
Awan di langit malam yang gelap
Kabut asap yang mengambang
Dengan bau mesiu habis terbakar
Tak ada lagi bunga yang berpendar warna-warni
Tak ada lintasan cahaya yang bersahutan bernyanyi
Bagaikan sebuah orkestra tanpa suara
Lalu aku kembali pada kesendirian
Keramaian lamat-lamat meninggalkan diriku
Yang terlalu lamban bergerak untuk mengejar mimpi
Yang kupunya hanya hasrat yang telah mati
Menunggu sejumput percikan api
Mengenaiku kembali
Dan aku akan melesat di tengah hitamnya langit malam
Berpendar dengan membakar seluruh diriku
Lalu aku akan menghilang dalam hujan bunga api
Berharap seseorang melayangkan pandang sekali
Diriku yang telah telantar dan dilupakan
Tanpa sempat memenuhi janjiku untuk menjadi
Kembang api yang tak gagal lagi

Wine, Women, and Song
As I walk through the stifling heat,
with no shoes upon my feet
I search for wine, women, and song
as I tread hopefully along.
Sweat is pouring and my face is sore
I don’t know if I can take much more.
Where is the wine, women, and song
something’s missing, something’s wrong?
It’s so oppressively hot around here
surely by now I should be getting near.
I can sense the wine, women, and song
I do hope it won’t be long.
I’ve caught a whiff of Chanel perfume,
a sure sign that I’ll be arriving soon.
But where’s the wine, women, and song
that I’ve been searching for so long?
For days I’ve followed the confusing smell
and its made me realise that I’m in hell.
Sadly there is no wine, women, and song,
and this road I walk is eternally long.
