Ilan Eshkeri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Judi (judi) menjanjikan kekayaan
Bohong (bohong) kalau kau pun menang
Itu awal dari kekalahan
Bohong (bohong) kalau kau pun kaya
Itu awal dari kemiskinan
Judi (judi) meracuni kehidupan
Judi (judi) meracuni keimanan
Orang malas terbuai harapan
Pasti (pasti) karena perjudian
Perdukunan ramai menyesatkan
Yang beriman bisa jadi murtad
Apalagi yang awam (uwo.hoo)
Yang menang bisa menjadi jahat
Apalagi yang kalah (uwo.hoo)
Yang kaya bisa jadi melarat
Apalagi yang miskin (uwo.hoo)
Yang senang bisa jadi sengsara
Apalagi yang susah (uwo.hoo)
Uang judi najis tiada berkah
Yang beriman bisa jadi murtad
Apalagi yang awam (uwo.hoo)
Yang menang bisa menjadi jahat
Apalagi yang kalah (uwo.hoo)
Yang kaya bisa jadi melarat
Apalagi yang miskin (uwo.hoo)
Yang senang bisa jadi sengsara
Apalagi yang susah (uwo.hoo)
Uang judi najis tiada berkah
Judi (judi) meracuni kehidupan
Judi (judi) meracuni keimanan
These lyrics are in Indonesian and are translated as follows:
Gambling promises victory
Gambling promises wealth
It's a lie if you also win
That's the beginning of defeat
It's a lie if you also get rich
That's the beginning of poverty
Gambling poisons life
Gambling poisons faith
Certainly, gambling
Seduces lazy people with hope
Certainly, gambling
Deception is rampant
The faithful may become apostates
Especially those who are ignorant (uwo.hoo)
Winners can become evil
Especially those who lose (uwo.hoo)
The rich can become poor
Especially the poor (uwo.hoo)
The happy can become miserable
Especially those who are struggling (uwo.hoo)
Gambling money is unclean and has no blessing
The faithful may become apostates
Especially those who are ignorant (uwo.hoo)
Winners can become evil
Especially those who lose (uwo.hoo)
The rich can become poor
Especially the poor (uwo.hoo)
The happy can become miserable
Especially those who are struggling (uwo.hoo)
Gambling poisons life
Gambling poisons faith
In these lyrics, the artist is warning about the dangers of gambling. While it may seem tempting to play in order to gain victory or wealth, the reality is that even those who win are still starting down a path towards defeat and poverty. Furthermore, the act of gambling can pollute one's life and faith, causing harm to oneself and others. The lyrics also speak to the idea that gambling can lead to negative behavior, such as laziness and deception, and can cause a person to lose their way morally and spiritually.

I love the musical scores in this movie!!

It is no surprise that you love the music in this movie, because the true composers are famous for their beautiful music as Johann Strauss Senior and Schubert with all his incredible nice pieces as Serenades, Lieder, etc and Strauss father with his Waltzes! Waltzes are so joyful and pleasant......no wonder!

Magnifique ! rien a dire
