Dazzled by the night

Dazzled by the night's mortal lights
With cars driving close by me and my pupils thin as pins
I waited for you 100 years long in the black-and-white streets
You came over, whistling
Dazzled by the night's mortal lights
Kicking the cans on the ground, as lost as a ship
If I lost my mind, I loved you and even worse
You came over, whistling
Dazzled by the night's mortal lights
Will you love life at last, or just watch it pass by?
There's almost nothing left of our nights of smoking
But your ashes in the morning
At this subway station, full of life and dizziness
At the next top, called Petit Européen
Run your hand all the way down my chest
Dazzled by the night's mortal lights
A last lap, stretching out my hand
I waited for you 100 years long in the black-and-white streets

......

Kabarmu yang semakin menghilang
Menjauh sayup sayup memudar

Barisan memori yang menolak pergi
Harapan yang terasa akan mati

Apakah engkau bahagia?apakah laramu tersirna?
Sudahkah kau dekap mimpimu? hilangkah semua gundahmu?

Hati bertahan, membatu, menolak pergi
Masih kucinta dirimu, meski kau tak bisa, akupun juga

Tetap kutunggu kabar darimu, semoga
Bila rasa telah tiada biarkan doa yang kan menyertaimu
Membawamu pulang atau sekedar melepasmu dengan lapang

Karena rasa akan selamanya, begitupun doa
Aku bahagia untukmu, disana
