Description
Sometimes life gets too rough, as if it has forgotten that it is dealing with a human being, not a piece of armor. It hits, pushes, knocks you down, and then suddenly there is a quiet, almost childlike impulse - just to snuggle up to the one who once knew how to heal everything with a single glance. Not with words, not with advice, but with warmth that always knew how to put back together what had fallen apart.
In this song, the pain is not loud - it is tired, worn down by countless attempts to be strong. But with every sigh, you can hear: somewhere out there, there are hands that can turn even defeat into something forgiving. The world may not become softer, but your heart will ease a little if you remember how your mother's song sounded - the one where you could still be a child.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Kumohon hentikan air matamu, Mama
Bila ternyata harus putus sekolahku
Dan kupilih gaya hidup yang tiada
Pernah indah di matamu
Tak mampu ku mengampuni diriku, Mama
Bila kucerna harunya arti doamu
Yang kau panjatkan untukku saat kubawa diriku
S'makin dalam 'tuk terjatuh
Bila ku tak pernah sanggup untuk bangkit dari
Kegagalan yang tak seharusnya kau sesali
Kar'na kenyataan hidup yang aku jalani
Tak seindah saat kudengar engkau bernyanyi
Peluklah lelah jiwaku, Mama
Yang terluka dipecundangi dunia
Hanya kasihmu yang mampu lindungi lemah hatiku
Yang tak sekuat hatimu
Bila ku tak pernah sanggup untuk bangkit dari
Kegagalan yang tak seharusnya kau sesali
Kar'na kenyataan hidup yang aku jalani
Tak seindah saat kudengar engkau bernyanyi
Peluklah lelah jiwaku, Mama
Yang terluka dipecundangi dunia
Hanya kasihmu yang mampu lindungi lemah hatiku
Yang tak sekuat hatimu
Peluk hati kecil yang penuh dendam ini
Ajari 'tuk menghapus sebuah rasa benci
Biarkan kasih lembutmu sentuh hatiku
Ubah aku jadi buah hati yang dulu
Peluklah lelah jiwaku, Mama (peluklah lelah jiwaku, Mama)
Yang terluka dipecundangi dunia (kasihmu yang mampu)
Hanya kasihmu yang mampu (lindungi hatiku) lindungi lemah hatiku
Yang tak sekuat hatimu
Peluklah lelah jiwaku, Mama (peluklah lelah jiwaku, Mama)
Yang terluka dipecundangi dunia (kasihmu yang mampu)
Hanya kasihmu yang mampu (lindungi hatiku) lindungi lemah hatiku
Yang tak sekuat hatimu
English translation
Please stop your tears, Mama
If it turns out I have to drop out of school
And I chose a lifestyle that didn't exist
Ever beautiful in your eyes
I can't forgive myself, Mama
When I understand the meaning of your prayer
What you prayed for me when I brought myself
It's getting deeper and deeper to fall
If I can never get up from
A failure that you shouldn't regret
Because of the reality of the life I live
It's not as beautiful as when I hear you sing
Hug my tired soul, Mama
The world loses to the wounded
Only your love can protect my weak heart
Which is not as strong as your heart
If I can never get up from
A failure that you shouldn't regret
Because of the reality of the life I live
It's not as beautiful as when I hear you sing
Hug my tired soul, Mama
The world loses to the wounded
Only your love can protect my weak heart
Which is not as strong as your heart
Hug this little heart full of revenge
Teach to erase a feeling of hatred
Let your tender love touch my heart
Turn me into the baby I used to be
Hug my tired soul, Mama (hug my tired soul, Mama)
Those who are hurt are lost by the world (your love is capable)
Only your love can (protect my heart) protect my weak heart
Which is not as strong as your heart
Hug my tired soul, Mama (hug my tired soul, Mama)
Those who are hurt are lost by the world (your love is capable)
Only your love can (protect my heart) protect my weak heart
Which is not as strong as your heart
