Tolong Jangan Jadi Rembulan Bagi Samudera ku
Please, do not be the moon to my sea.
Tolong, jangan jadi rembulan bagi samuderaku.
Please, do not be the moon to my sea.
Rasanya tak adil.
Setiap detik waktu-ku habis tercuri oleh bayangmu,
sedang dalam hadirku, kamu bahkan tak pernah menyapaku.
It feels so unfair, a cruel decree.
Every second of my time is stolen by your ghost,
Yet in my presence, you are a silent host.

Kamu seperti rembulan di atas sana—
sengaja memamerkan keindahan yang tak terjangkau,
membiarkan bintang-bintang menertawakan
jarak dan kerinduanku yang sendirian.
You are like the moon, up in
the skies—
Flaunting a beauty too distant for my eyes,
Leaving the stars to mock from above
The heavy distance of my lonely love.
Nyatanya, aku ini hanya lautan.
Yang pasang dan surutnya, sepenuhnya dikendalikan oleh gravitasimu.
Aku sekacau itu.
The truth is, I am merely the ocean deep.
Whose tides are yours to command and to keep.
Ruled by your gravity, breaking apart,
I am a chaotic, restless heart.
Lucu, ya?
Meski diabaikan, aku tetap tak berani membayangkan
bagaimana jika kamu benar-benar menghilang.
Mungkin karang-karang di hatiku akan hancur,
dihantam ombak yang kehilangan arah pulang.
Isn’t it ironic? A bittersweet cost.
Even when ignored, I dread if you were lost.
Perhaps the reef in my soul would shatter and weep,
Crashed by waves with no home left to keep.
Terkadang aku lelah bertanya-tanya;
kamu yang selalu berlalu-lalang di kepalaku ini,
sebenarnya sedang menikmati rinduku yang menderita?
Sometimes I grow weary of this endless strain;
Do you walk through my mind just to relish my pain?
Are you pleased by the ache that you put me through?
Namun pada akhirnya ku tahu,
Kau hanya sedang mengorbit di atas garis takdirmu
Sedang aku hanyalah ketidaksengajaan rasa,
Yang berdiri di bawah sinarmu.
But in the end, the bitter truth is clear,
You only orbit your own fated sphere.
While I am but an accident of grace,
Standing forgotten beneath your glowing face.
