In loving memory of Gunawan Maryanto
(10 April 1976 - 6 October 2021)
Seroja - hara
Bunga seroja
mekar mengabarkan duka
Ragamu usai
hanya namamu tertinggal
Terang, terangkan
mengapa
di antara sejuta
kau yang diambilnya?
Dan air mata
adalah sekuncup doa
Dan dukacita
cinta yang tak sempat ada
Sampai, sampaikan padaNya
antarku jauh
semakin jauh dan
jatuh di tempat yang sama
denganmu
Untuk jeda yang tiba-tiba
Cerita cinta bisa jadi apa saja
Ingatan jumpalitan berebut tempat
Rebut saja yang sanggup
Ambil saja yang mewujud
Hari ini mungkin pertama
Malam ini mungkin terakhir
Ambil seluruh yang mungkin
Waktu sedang cemburu
atau membencimu
Tapi demikianlah
Ini semua berlangsung
dalam jeda yang ajaib.
English translation:
Lotus - hara
The lotus flower
blooms to tell a story of loss
Your body is no longer
only your name remains
Enlighten, enlighten me
why
in a million
you were the one taken?
And each tear
is a bud of prayer
And grief
is love that couldn’t have been
So tell, tell Her
to carry me far,
farther, then
release me
wherever
you are now
In an unforeseen interlude
A love story can be anything
Memories somersaulting, fighting for a place
Seize whatever is possible
Grab whatever is left
Today may be the first
Tonight may be the last
Take in all that is possible
Time is envious
or it maybe loathes you
But alas
It’s all progressing
Within this magical interlude.
