GILA

kau benar

aku gila

aku tertidur di bawah rimbun bambu

kala malam mengguruiku dengan impiannya

hatiku terpatri 

kepada rembulan pagi

yang cahayanya berkilau di tengah samudra

dia membuat duniaku bersinar dalam gelap

aku tersesat 

di antara impian dan harapan

dusta memporak-porandakan jiwaku

rinduku menghilang, di hempas ombak 

musnah 

tak berbekas

pasir dingin mengubur hatiku 

hatiku yang terluka dalam

kau benar

aku sudah gila

surga pun tak mampu menyembuhkan aku

apalagi kau sang penghujat

You were right

I was out of my mind

I fell asleep under a grove of bamboo

when the night lectures me with its dreams

My heart was captivated

by the morning moon

light shone brightly in the middle of the ocean

makes my world shine in the dark

I have been lost 

between dreams and hopes

Lies have shattered my soul

My longing gone, swept away by the waves

vanished

without a trace

The cold sand buried my heart

My deeply wounded heart

You are right

I'm already insane

Even heaven couldn't heal me

let alone you, the blasphemer
