Something To Think About.

There is no girl alike me. And there is no boy that like me. ; )

Di Bawah Langit Yang Sama


Di Bawah Langit Yang Sama








Di bawah langit yang sama
Kita hirupi udara
Tanpa mengira Beirutmu
Atau Kuala Lumpurku
Kita menghirup udara
Di bawah langit yang sama.


Aku suka gerimis di Kota London
Pernah terpesona angin dingin tajam di Washington
Pohon-pohon hijau atau aneka warna
                            tiada bezanya.
Siapa pun penghuni Australia penghuni Afrika
Kerana di bawah langit ini
Kita sama.

Aku ingin menyeberangi Laut China Selatan
Layari Lautan Teduh rentasi Laluan Sutera
Berkongsi siang miliki malam
Tiupkan harapan senada
Sesama kita-warga dunia
Di bawah langitnya yang sama.

Peta-peta itu yang memisahkan
Jangan tutup pos sempadan
Visa hanya keperluan rasmi seketika
Pasport dokumen pengenalan titik mula
Kita dakapi mimpi tak berbeza
                            gapai hasrat.
Lebur kebencian kuburkan sejarah hitam
Di bawah langit ini yang sama.

Translated by Sarah Sayuri Hartnett:

Under The Very Same Sky



Under the very same sky
We breathe in
No matter whether it’s your Beirut
Or my Kuala Lumpur
We breathe the air
Under this very same sky.

I love being touched by the soft drizzle in London City
Or being captivated by the cold,bone-slashing wind at Washington
Be it green or coloured
yet still they are called leaves.
Leave it at rest who ever may choose to become
modern Australians or native Africans
Because under this sky
We are all the same.

I wanna cross the South China Sea
I wanna sail on the Pacific Sea slowly passing through
the Silk Route
I wanna share the sunshine and enjoy the moonlight
Let’s braid the love and coloured the timeless ages
Let’s blow the same notes of hope
Amongst us-the Citizen of Earth
Under Her very same sky.

Those insignificant maps that set us apart
Do not hastily close the border post
As that visa is merely for temporary official purposes
The passports and identity documents are just a starting point
We embrace the not-so-differ dreams
Reach them
Dissolved our hates and bury even the darkest pasts
Under the very same sky.
