Once Upon a Time In the West
08) Ennio Morricone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
berdiri menanti mencari yg tak pernah pasti
berkawan angin malam kuarungi kehidupan
diantara gelak tawa kemunafikan
aku tak lagi peduli apa kata mereka tentang diriku ini
aku ingin bebas sendiri berdiri dg diri tanpa dirimu lagi
kutahu isi hatimu segala prasangka tentang diriku
seperti kata mereka
belum tentu apa yg dihatimu
seperti isi hatiku
meski ku hanya lelaki penghuni malam
diantara awan hitam rumahku berdiri dg tinggi terbang tinggi jalannya terbuka
aku berkawan angin malam melangkah dan berjalan
menyusuri kehidupan

Several of these (and other Morricone's) themes have been my regular earworms for over fifty years.

Once Upon a Time In the West is just the best soundtrack ever. I used to hold a cassette player to the TV and record the music to listen back to in my bed at night.

And that's the way we did it back in the day!
@Joseph-ue5wc
Agree and Thanks, big time.

Hey I do the same thing I sleep with this music we have so much in common this is fantastic to hear someone else doing the same thing that I'm doing
@soliv27
Much better than the movie in my opinion. I heard the music long before I watched the movie, and to me the music is way bigger and better, though the movie is ok. But if you love this music don't watch the movie, my two cents..

@soliv27 shut up. Just shut up.
@RollsRoyce1954
One of the greatest western soundtracks of all time in my opinion.
@jc940
Yes indeed, if not Thee!
