Description
It sounds like a memory wrapped in the rustle of old film. The quiet notes seem to touch the heart with their fingertips - they don't press, they don't call, they just are. There is something in them of a summer afternoon, when everything around has frozen, and all you can hear is the breath of the wind and light laughter fading into the distance. Music in which you don't need to understand the words - it speaks for them: about tenderness, about gratitude, about that rare calm that comes when you are no longer looking for meaning, but simply feeling.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Takkan selamanya tangan ku mendekapmu.
Takkan selamanya raga ini menjagamu.
Seperti alunan detak jantungku, tak bertahan melawan waktu.
Dan semua keindahan yang memudar atau cinta yang telah hilang.
Tak ada yang abadi, tak ada yang abadi.
Tak ada yang abadi, tak ada yang abadi.
Ha, biarkan aku bernafas sejenak sebelum hilang.
Ha, takkan selamanya tangan ku mendekapmu.
Takkan selamanya raga ini menjagamu.
Jiwa yang lama segera pergi.
Bersiaplah para pengganti, oh.
Tak ada yang abadi, tak ada yang abadi.
Tak ada yang abadi, tak ada yang abadi.
English translation
My hands won't hold you forever.
This body will not always look after you.
Like the beat of my heart, it doesn't last against time.
And all the beauty that has faded or the love that has been lost.
Nothing lasts forever, nothing lasts forever.
Nothing lasts forever, nothing lasts forever.
Ha, let me breathe for a moment before it's gone.
Ha, my arms won't hold you forever.
This body will not always look after you.
The old soul is soon gone.
Get ready replacements, oh.
Nothing lasts forever, nothing lasts forever.
Nothing lasts forever, nothing lasts forever.
