Aku Dan Si Bung
Silampukau Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
aku senang kau berkunjung
entah berapa lama kita tak terhubung
lalu kau bercerita tentang si yang berubah
dan tentang indonesia yang bermasalah
apa kabar bung
luka apa yang kau tanggung
katamu bertata bangsa ini mustilah berulah
sebab kita telah penuh dengan dosa
sebentar bung tunggu dulu
jangan terburu - buru
meski aku juga tak seberapa tau
apakah benar benar begitu
sebentar bung
tunggu dulu
jernihkan lah pikiranmu
jangan tergesa menghantam
rata dunia
apa kabar bung
luka apa yang kau sambung
liat sendiri bung
akunpun kurang beruntung
lantas kau bercerita tentang seluruh rencana
tentang peluang - peluang usaha
apa kabar bung
selalu senang
kau berkunjung
tapi keningmu cemas
rambutmu mulai merangga
katamu belakangan ini hidup sungguh galau
segala yang kau punya telah terampas
sebentar bung tunggu dulu
jangan bilang begitu
mungkin kau tak tau jika kondisi kita tak jauh berbeda
sebentar bung tunggu dulu
aku tak sedang melucu
kau lupa aku juga rakyat jelata
negeri yang sama
negeri yang sama
