Bumiku Buruk Rupa
Dialog Dini Hari Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Surya sinarnya tak terbendung
Awan bergerak tak menentu
Angin kencang bukan puyuh
Tanahku injak seperti pasir
Bagai gelombang dilaut pesisir
Liang lahat raksasa hadir
Bumiku bumi buruk rupa
Bumiku bumi buruk rupa
Air bumi menipis
Seakan akan hampir habis
Sungai danau hilang sungai danau hilang
Dan kemarau kian panjang
Hujan. hujan. tenggelamkan bumi
Hujan. hujan. tenggelamkan bumi
Panas. panas. panas. bakar bumi
The lyrics of Dialog Dini Hari's song Bumiku Buruk Rupa describe the current state of the earth and the impact of human activity on it. The first verse talks about the unpredictable movements of the clouds and the strong winds which are much stronger than the mild breeze. The second line compares the ground to sand that moves like waves on the shore. Moreover, the lyrics suggest that there is a great threat to the earth in the form of giant holes in the earth or giant craters as a result of human activities such as mining or deforestation. The song also indicates that the aboriginals who originally took care of the land are failing to do so now.
The chorus of the song describes the earth as having an ugly appearance. The second verse refers to the depletion of water resources, which suggests that rivers and lakes are disappearing as a result of human activities leading to long periods of drought. The last line talks about the scorching sun burning the earth. The repeated lines of “Hujan” and “Panas” towards the end of the song signify the cycle of droughts and floods that worsens every year due to the continuous exploitation of natural resources.
