Description
There are things that don't die - they just change form. Sometimes it's a feeling that freezes between an inhalation and an exhalation, when the world suddenly becomes softer, as if someone has covered it with a transparent veil of light. There is no room for haste here: everything stretches out slowly, like smoke from incense, like a memory that doesn't hurt but warms.
And in this silence, where every sound lasts a little longer than it should, a strange calm is born. As if all the hustle and bustle is just a backdrop, and the most important thing has already happened long ago. All that remains is to carefully carry your own “immortal” detail of life, which smells of tenderness and time.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Kupersembahkan bunga
Abadi yang kupetik untuknya
Dalam perjalanan menuju keabadian hidup
Hidup tiada duka, hidup tiada lara
Ku telah menyadari
Dirinyalah yang pantas miliki
Bunga abadi yang t'lah kusimpan set'lah sekian lama
Terpendam jauh dalam diriku, di dalam hidupku
Oh, apalah arti dari semua yang tercipta
Tanpa kehadirannya di sini
Oh-oh, ku menembus ruang dan waktu
Terjalin gelak tawa, sedih, dan merayu
Bersanding bersama dirinya
Ho-oh, hanya satu yang 'kan kupinta
Menjaga bunga abadi yang t'lah kuberi
Di dalam perjalanan hidupnya
Oh-oh, ku menembus ruang dan waktu
Terjalin gelak tawa, sedih, dan merayu
Bersanding bersama dirinya
Oh-oh, hanya satu yang 'kan kupinta
Menjaga bunga abadi yang t'lah kuberi
Satu dan selamanya di dalam perjalanan hidupnya, oh-oh
Kupersembahkan bunga
Abadi yang kupetik untuknya
English translation
I offer flowers
The immortal I picked for him
On the way to eternal life
Life without sorrow, life without pain
I've realized
He is the one who deserves it
An eternal flower that I have kept for a long time
Buried deep inside me, in my life
Oh, what is the meaning of all that is created
Without his presence here
Oh-oh, I penetrate time and space
There is laughter, sadness and seduction
Side by side with him
Ho-oh, there's only one thing I'd ask for
Guarding the eternal flowers that I have given you
In his life's journey
Oh-oh, I penetrate time and space
There is laughter, sadness and seduction
Side by side with him
Oh-oh, I'm just asking for one thing
Guarding the eternal flowers that I have given you
One and forever on his life's journey, oh-oh
I offer flowers
The immortal I picked for him
