Since today is Indonesia Independence Day, so I wanna dedicate sebuah karya anak bangsa, Bapak Chairil Anwar, who already contributed to fight for freedom through his literature work. He was so young when he began his philology world. He was only 18. And he didn't finish his junior high school, can't you imagine that?! A youth who not finish his school, while he can 4 languanges and becomes a legendary poet 'till now. I do really adore him.
Wish you love him, too. Xx
DERAI DERAI CEMARA
Cemara menderai sampai jauh
terasa hari akan jadi malam
ada beberapa dahan di tingkap merapuh
dipukul angin yang terpendam
Aku sekarang orangnya bisa tahan
sudah berapa waktu bukan kanak lagi
tapi dulu memang ada suatu bahan
yang bukan dasar perhitungan kini
Hidup hanya menunda kekalahan
tambah terasing dari cinta sekolah rendah
dan tahu, ada yang tetap tidak terucapkan
sebelum pada akhirnya kita menyerah
1949
Perhaps all the dragons in our
lives are princesses who are
only waiting to see us act, just once,
with beauty and courage.
Perhaps everything that frightens us is,
in its deepest essence,
something helpless that wants
our love.
