Good Morning Heartache..

Good morning heartache
You old gloomy sight
Good morning heartache
Thought we said goodbye last night
I turned and tossed until it
seems you heve gone
But here you are with the dawn
Wish I forget you, but
you’re here to stay
It seems I met you
When my love went away
Now everyday I stop I’m saying to you
Good morning heartache what’s new

Stop haunting me now
Can’t shake you nohow
Just leave me alone
I’ve got those Monday blues
Straight to Sunday blues
Good morning heartache
Here we go again
Good morning heartache
You’re the one
Who knows me well
Might as well get use to
you hanging around
Good morning heartache
Sit down

(Jill Scott + Chris Botti)

Hallo Bandoeng van Wieteke van Dort

Memenuhi janji saya kepada Bung Kemal -yang sedang sibuk dengan deadline paper dan menjadikannya alasan untuk absen menulis di sini- berikut adalah lirik lagu dari lagu lama berjudul Hallo Bandoeng, dinyanyikan oleh Wieteke van Dort.. to listen to the song you can click on the title below;

Hallo Bandoeng – Wieteke van Dort

‘t Oude moedertje zat bevend
Op het telegraafkantoor
Vriend’lijk sprak de ambt’naar
Juffrouw, aanstonds geeft Bandoeng gehoor
Trillend op haar stramme benen
Greep zij naar de microfoon
En toen hoorde zij, o wonder
Zacht de stem van hare zoon

refrain:
“Hallo! Bandoeng!”
“Ja moeder hier ben ik!”
“Dag liefste jongen”, zegt zij met een snik
“Hallo, hallo!
Hoe gaat het oude vrouw?”
Dan zegt ze alleen:
“Ik verlang zo erg naar jou!”

Lieve jongen, zegt ze teder
Ik heb maandenlang gespaard
‘t Was me om jou te kunnen spreken
M’n allerlaatste gulden waard
En ontroerd zegt hij dan:
“Moeder Nog vier jaar, dan is het om
Oudjelief, wat zal ‘k je pakken
Als ik weer in Holland kom!”

refrain

“Jongenlief”, vraagt ze, “hoe gaat het Met je kleine bruine vrouw?”
“Best hoor”, zegt hij, “en we spreken
Elke dag hier over jou
En m’n kleuters zeggen ’s avonds
Voor het slapen gaan een gebed
Voor hun onbekende opoe
Met een kus op jouw portret”

refrain

“Wacht eens, moeder”, zegt hij lachend “
‘k Bracht mijn jongste zoontje mee”
Even later hoort ze duidelijk
“Opoe lief, tabeh, tabeh!”
Maar dan wordt het haar te machtig
Zachtjes fluistert ze:
“O Heer Dank dat ‘k dat heb mogen horen…”
En dan valt ze wenend neer

“Hallo! Bandoeng!”
“Ja moeder hier ben ik!”
Ze antwoordt niet.
Hij hoort alleen ‘n snik
“Hallo! Hallo!…” klinkt over verre zee
Zij is niet meer en het kindje roept: “Tabeh”

ps. Mal, kalau butuh di translate ngomong ya.. sebenernya tinggal anda copy paste ke babelfish sih, tapi yah..kadang ngaco.. hahaha..

I heard Love is Blind

My dear friend Kemal,

I promise you…this is the last song that I will put on this weblog (at least for tonight – and maybe there will be no more amy winehouse until uhm..let’s say next month hehehe)

Mal, the lyric is just funny (ironically) just read it through. I still feel like sh*t but who cares you know.. I will get everything under control. I’ll make sure of that.

Amy Winehouse – I heard Love is Blind
I couldn’t resist him
His eyes were like yours
His hair was exactly the shade of brown
He’s just not as tall, but I couldn’t tell
It was dark and I was lying down

You are everything – he means nothing to me
I can’t even remember his name
Why’re you so upset?
Baby, you weren’t there and I was thinking of you when I came

What do you expect?
You left me here alone; I drank so much and needed to touch
Don’t overreact – I pretended he was you
You wouldn’t want me to be lonely

How can I put it so you understand?
I didn’t let him hold my hand
But he looked like you; I guess he looked like you
No he wasn’t you
But you can still trust me, this ain’t infidelity
It’s not cheating; you were on my mind

Yes he looked like you
But I heard love is blind…

Wake up alone – Amy Winehouse

You know right? The feeling that you get when you got too much to think about, you just want to escape from all of it and make yourself as busy as possible? But then, when you finally got your own time…all of your thoughts come back attacking your head. Well, that’s exactly what I do when I have things to think about but I don’t want to do it. I keep myself as busy as possible and then, I woke up the next morning, staring at my big bed and realizing that I am alone. Checking on my mobile, and knowing that there is no one texting or calling me again (believe me, even if there is – it is not some one I expected to) and then, I read this lyric. stupid me.

Amy Winehouse – Wake up alone

It’s okay in the day I’m staying busy
Tied up enough so I don’t have to wonder where is he
Got so sick of crying
So just lately
When I catch myself I do a 180
I stay up clean the house
At least I’m not drinking
Run around just so I don’t have to think about thinking
That silent sense of content
That everyone gets
Just disappears soon as the sun sets

This face in my dreams seizes my guts
He floods me with dread
Soaked in soul
He swims in my eyes by the bed
Pour myself over him
Moon spilling in
And I wake up alone

If I was my heart
I’d rather be restless
The second I stop the sleep catches up and I’m breathless
This ache in my chest
As my day is done now
The dark covers me and I cannot run now
My blood running cold
I stand before him
It’s all I can do to assure him
When he comes to me
I drip for him tonight
Drowning in me we bathe under blue light

His face in my dreams seizes my guts
He floods me with dread
Soaked in soul
He swims in my eyes by the bed
Pour myself over him
Moon spilling in
And I wake up alone
And I wake up alone
And I wake up alone
And I wake up alone

Will you still love me tomorrow?

To: Kemal Supelli, my long-distance friend

Dear Kemal,

I feel like Sh*t, hehehe, I hope you dont mind that I just put some quote and lyric that I like in our blog. I don’t know why I have to pick Amy Winehouse each and every time I feel like this, maybe it just because her lyric sometimes makes me want to scream the words out. Anyway mal, this is not the last lyric that I will put here today because apparently there are some other song from Amy W. that is just perfectly fit to my present condition. So, I hope you’re getting you ass back here as soon as possible so we can start a new posting together, again. Kinda missing that in the past few days.

Amy Winehouse – Will you still love me tomorrow

Tonight you’re mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow?

Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment’s pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sight?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight with words unspoken
You’ll say that I’m the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun?

I’d like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now and I won’t ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?

So tell me now and I won’t ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow…?

Glenn Fredly

Buat temen-temen yang juga sekarang sedang tinggal di Belanda dan sekitarnya, mungkin bakalan seneng karena bakalan ada konser yang bisa ngobatin rasa kangen sama Indonesia. Kalau di Belanda, tiap tahun udah jelas ada Pasar Malam Besar di Den Haag (yang bener-bener bikin kita berasa ada di Indonesia tercinta) tapi tahun ini, ada 2 artist kenamaan yang bakalan konser juga di sini. Bulan April ini, bakalan ada Glenn Fredly dan bulan Mei bakalan ada SLANK!!!

Nahh..buat Glenn Fredly, saya juga udah beli tiket. Saya dan Mbak Shaula (juga bersama 2 teman dari Jerman) akan nonton konser Glenn di Den Haag. Tiketnya lumayan juga sih ya buat ukuran artist Indo (20 euro), tapi mungkin buat nutupin ongkos dari Indo ke sini. hehehehe.

Ini salah satu lagu yang mungkin easy listening, catchy, dan bakalan dibawain sama glenn nanti. Kalau-kalau mau ngapalin dulu biar nanti bisa nyanyi bareng sama glenn, silahkan. haha.

cruising when the sun goes down
i cross the sea
searching for something inside of me

i would find all the lost pieces
hardly feel deep in real
i was blinded now i see

* hey hey hey you're the one
  hey hey hey you're the one
  hey hey hey i can't live without you

reff:	take me to your place
	where our heart belongs together
	i will follow you
	'coz you're the reason that i breath

	i'll come running to you
	fill me with your love forever
	promise you one thing
	that i would never let you go
	'coz you are my everything

you're the one, you're my inspiration
you're the one kiss, you're the one
you're the light that would keep me safe and warm
you're the one kiss, you're the one
like the sun goes down coming from above all
to the deepest ocean and highest mountain
deep and real deeep i can see now

repeat *
repeat reff

Moondance

Well, it's a marvelous night for a Moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush

Can I just have one more Moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love

Well, I wanna make love to you tonight
I can't wait 'til the morning has come
And I know that the time is just right
And straight into my arms you will run
And when you come my heart will be waiting
To make sure that you're never alone
There and then all my dreams will come true, dear
There and then I will make you my own
Any time I touch you, you just tremble inside
And I know how much you want me that you can't hide 

Can I just have one more Moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love

Well, I wanna make love to you tonight
I can't wait 'til the morning has come
And I know that the time is just right
And straight into my arms you will run
And when you come my heart will be waiting
To make sure that you're never alone
There and then all my dreams will come true, dear
There and then I will make you my own
Any time I touch you, you just tremble inside
And I know how much you want me that you can't hide

Can I just have one more Moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love

Can I just have one more Moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love

Can I just have one more Moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love

My Love, my love

I just want one more moondance with you, yes I do 

How Insensitive

Song title: How InsensitiveArtist: Ed Motta, Frank Sinatra, etc. etc.—

How insensitive
I must have seen
When she told me that she loved me
How unmoved and cold
I must have seen
When she told me so sincerely
Why, she must have asked,
Did I just turn and stare in icy silence?

What was I to do?
What can you do
When a love affair is over?

So now she's gone away
And I'm alone
With the memory of her last look
Vague, and drawn and sad
I see it still
All the heartache in that last look
Why, she must have asked,
Did I just turn and stare in icy silence?

What was I to say?
What can you say

When a love affair is over? 

Melati dari Jayagiri

Melati dari jayagiri

Kuterawang keindahan kenangan

Hari-hari lalu di mataku

Tatapan yang lembut dan penuh kasih

Kuingat di malam itu

Kau beri daku senyum kedamaian

Hati yang teduh dalam dekapan

Dan kubiarkan kau kecup bibirku

Mentari kelak kan tenggelam

Gelap kan datang dingin mencekam

Harapanku bintang kan terang

Memberi sinar dalam hatiku

Kuingat di malam itu

Kau beri daku senyum kedamaian

Mungkinkah akan tinggal kenangan

Jawabnya tertiup di angin lalu

(Melati dari Jayagiri – Abah Iwan A. / Bimbo)

–

lagu ini ditujukan buat Mama tersayang di Bandung, mengenang masa-masa dimana beliau menyanyikan lagu ini sambil menyetrika baju diiringi piringan hitam. love you Mom.

groetjes,

meity.

Tears Dry On Their Own

One of my favorite lyric written by Ami Winehouse, (she’s a very good song-writer you know..but sometimes the news about her are just terrible and I just can’t stand all of the drama)

—

Amy Winehouse – Tears Dry on Their Own.

All I can ever be to you
Is the darkness that we knew
And this regret I got accustomed to
Once it was so right
When we were at our high
Waiting for you in the hotel at night
I knew I hadn’t met my match
But every moment we could snatch
I don’t know why I got so attached
It’s my responsibility
And you don’t owe nothing to me
But to walk away I have no capacity

He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I’m grown
And in your wake, in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

I don’t understand
Why do I stress the man
When there’s so many bigger things at hand
We coulda never had it all
We had to hit a wall
So this is inevitable withdrawal
Even if I stop wanting you
And perspective pushes thru
I’ll be some next man’s other woman soon

I can’t play myself again
I should just be my own best friend
Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men

He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I’m grown
And in your wake, in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

So we are history
Your shadow covers me
The sky above ablaze

He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I’m grown
And in your wake, in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

I wish I could say no regrets
And no emotional debts
Cos as we kiss good bye the sun sets
So we are history
Your shadow covers me
The sky above a blaze that only lovers see

He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day but I’m grown
And in your wake, my blue shade
My tears dry on their own

He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day but I am grown
And in your wake
My deep shame
My tears dry on their own

He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day but I’m grown
And in your wake
My deep shame
My tears dry
