English translation: Sal Priadi — Sunflower Gala
Mungkinkah,
mungkinkah,
mungkinkah
Kau mampir hari ini
bila tidak mirip kau
jadilah bunga matahari
Yang tiba-tiba mekar di taman
Meski bicara dengan bahasa tumbuhan
Ceritakan padaku
Bagaimana tempat tinggalmu yang baru
Adakah sungai sungai itu benar benar
Dilintasi dengan air susu
Juga badanmu tak sakit sakit lagi
Kau dan orang orang di sana muda lagi
Semua pertanyaan
Temukan jawaban
Hati yang gembira sering kau tertawa
Benarkah orang bilang
ia memang suka bercanda
Mungkinkah
Mungkinkah
Mungkinkah
Kau mampir hari ini
Bila tidak mirip kau
jadilah bunga matahari
Yang tiba-tiba mekar di taman
Meski bicara dengan bahasa tumbuhan
Kan ku ceritakan padamu
Bagaimana hidupku tanpamu
Kangennya masih ada disetiap waktu
Kadang aku menangis bila aku perlu
Tapi aku sekarang sudah lebih lucu
Jadilah menyenangkan seperti katamu
Jalani hidup dengan penuh suka cita
Dan percaya kau ada dihatiku selamanya
Mungkinkah,
mungkinkah,
mungkinkah
Kau mampir hari ini
Bila tidak mirip kau jadilah bunga matahari
Mungkinkah
mungkinkah
mungkinkah
Kau mampir hari ini
Bila tidak sekarang
janji kita pasti kan bertemu lagi
Is it possible,
is it possible,
is it possible,
For you to visit today
If it does not look like you
be like a sunflower
That suddenly blooms in the garden
Even if speaking in the language of plants
Tell me
How is your new home
Are those rivers really
filled with milk 1
And your body no longer hurts
You and the people there are young again2
All questions
finds their answers
A happy heart, you often laugh
Is it true what people say,
that he3 indeed likes to joke
Is it possible,
is it possible,
is it possible
For you to visit today
If it does not look like you,
be like a sunflower
That suddenly blooms in the garden
Even if speaking in the language of plants
I will tell you
How my life is without you
The longing is still there at every moment Sometimes I cry when I need to
But I’m funnier now
Become pleasant as you said
Live life with full of joy
And believe that you are in my heart forever
Is it possible,
is it possible,
is it possible
For you to visit today
If not, be like a sunflower
Is it possible,
is it possible,
is it possible
For you to visit today
If not now,
our promise will surely meet again
- Referring to the concept of Paradise in Islam: The description of the Paradise promised to the righteous is that in it are rivers of fresh water, rivers of milk that never changes in taste, rivers of wine delicious to drink, and rivers of pure honey. There they will ˹also˺ have all kinds of fruit, and forgiveness from their Lord. ↩︎
- Muhammad saying: it was narrated from Muadh ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The people of Paradise will enter Paradise hairless, beardless with their eyes anointed with kohl, aged thirty or thirty-three years.” (Narrated by At-Tirmidhi, 2545. Classed as authentic by Al-Albani in Sahih Al-Jami, 7928) ↩︎
- Possibly referring to Prophet Muhammad himself. ↩︎
