Dear Reader,
It's high time for another musical post. This time, I would like to share a song called 'Bagaikan Puteri' by Farra. It means 'Like a Princess'. The meaning behind the lyrics is a bit sad, but the tune is really catchy. I mean, super catchy. Like stuck-in-your-head-for-a-week catchy. Anyway, here are the lyrics and the translation.

Farra
'Bagaikan Puteri'
[Chorus]
Tapi sayang, hanyalah impian
Bulan tak bisa tumbuh di taman
Dan bila mentari datang
Pulanglah segala kenyataan
Tapi sayang, hanyalah impian
Bulan tak bisa tumbuh di taman
Dan bila mentari datang
Pulanglah segala kenyataan
Jika dunia aku yang punya
Akanku dirikan
Sebuah syurga
Malam tanpa siang
Untukku bermimpi
Akanku dirikan
Sebuah syurga
Malam tanpa siang
Untukku bermimpi
[*]
Sepanjang masa, tanpa kecewa
Bertemankan bintang yang setia
Bagaikan puteri kisah khayalan
Yang hidupnya suci dan sempurna
Bertemankan bintang yang setia
Bagaikan puteri kisah khayalan
Yang hidupnya suci dan sempurna
[Chorus]
Jika dunia aku yang punya
Akanku hiaskan
Sepasang sayap
Putih dan berseri
Untukku kemudi
Akanku hiaskan
Sepasang sayap
Putih dan berseri
Untukku kemudi
[*]
[Chorus] x2
English translation:Farra
'Like a Princess'
'Like a Princess'
[Chorus]
But too bad, it's only a dream
The moon can't grow in a garden
And when the sun comes
The reality returns
But too bad, it's only a dream
The moon can't grow in a garden
And when the sun comes
The reality returns
If the world belonged to me
I would build
A paradise
A night without day
For me to dream
I would build
A paradise
A night without day
For me to dream
[*]
All the time
Without disappointment
Accompanied by the loyal stars
Like a fairy-tale princess
With a pure and perfect life
Without disappointment
Accompanied by the loyal stars
Like a fairy-tale princess
With a pure and perfect life
[Chorus]
If the world belonged to me
I would adorn
A pair of wings
White and shining
For me to navigate
I would adorn
A pair of wings
White and shining
For me to navigate
[*]
[Chorus] x2
See what I mean? A bit pessimistic, really...but at least it's realistic; it is a widely accepted belief that the moon does not grow in gardens. Anyway, that's all for today. Hope you enjoyed this somewhat brief post. It must be a refreshing change for you, my dear reader. Until we meet again, ciao!
Yours,
