Saat Aku Lanjut Usia
Sheila on 7 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Saat ragaku terasa tua
Tetaplah kau slalu di sini
Menemani aku bernyanyi
Saat rambutku mulai rontok
Yakinlah ku tetap setia
Memijit pundakmu hingga kau tertidur pulas
Genggam tanganku saat tubuhku terasa linu
Kupeluk erat tubuhmu saat dingin menyerangmu
Kita lawan bersama dingin dan panas dunia
Saat kaki tlah lemah kita saling menopang
Hingga nanti di suatu pagi salah satu dari kita mati
Sampai jumpa di kehidupan yang lain
Saat perutku mulai buncit
Yakinlah ku tetap tersexy
Dan tetaplah kau slalu menanti
Nyanyianku di malam hari
Genggam tanganku saat tubuhku terasa linu
Kupeluk erat tubuhmu saat dingin menyerangmu
Kita lawan bersama dingin dan panas dunia
Saat kaki tlah lemah kita saling menopang
Hingga nanti di suatu pagi salah satu dari kita mati
Sampai jumpa di kehidupan yang lain
Sampai jumpa di kehidupan yang lain

Saat aku lanjut usia
As I age
Saat ragaku terasa tua
When my body feels old
Tetaplah kau slalu di sini
Stay with me always
Menemani aku bernyanyi
Keep me company in singing
Saat rambutku mulai rontok
When my hair starts falling out
Yakinlah ku tetap setia
Believe that I'll remain faithful
Memijit pundakmu hingga kau tertidur pulas
Massage your shoulders until you fall asleep soundly
Genggam tanganku saat tubuhku terasa linu
Hold my hand when my body feels sore
Kupeluk erat tubuhmu saat dingin menyerangmu
Embrace you tightly when the cold strikes you
Kita lawan bersama dingin dan panas dunia
Together, we fight the cold and the heat of the world
Saat kaki tlah lemah kita saling menopang
When our legs become weak, we support each other
Hingga nanti di suatu pagi salah satu dari kita mati
Until one of us dies on a morning
Sampai jumpa di kehidupan yang lain
See you in another life
Saat perutku mulai buncit
When my belly starts to bulge
Yakinlah ku tetap tersexy
Believe that I'll still be sexy
Dan tetaplah kau slalu menanti
And keep waiting for me always
Nyanyianku di malam hari
My songs at night
Sampai jumpa di kehidupan yang lain
See you in another life
