all i wanna do - raindrops keep falling on my head

ngomong soal ujan, aku punya
kenangan khusus dari seorang
sahabatku. walau gak persis
sekali, tapi aku ingat apresiasi
kisahnya menyerupai lagu ini:

.it was a rainy night
.when he came into sight
.standing by the road
.no umbrella, no coat
.so i pulled up along side
.and i offered him a ride
.he accepted with a smile
.so we drove for a while
.i didn't ask him his name
.this lonely boy in the rain
.fate tell me it's right
.is this love at first sight
.please don't make it wrong
.just stay for the night

mungkin sahabatku melihat kesendirian orang
lain seakan kesendirian dirinya sendiri
seakan mencari persamaan kisahnya dengan kisah
sang stranger dalam hujan malam itu
seolah ada tarikan magnet yang mengiyakannya:
'fate tell me it's right!'
apapun bentuk kisahnya, sekejap apapun rasanya
begitulah keajaiban itu terjadi baginya

.so we found this hotel, it was a place i knew well
.we made magic that night.. oh, he did everything right
.he brought the woman out of me, so many times, easily
.and in the morning when he woke all i left him was a note
.i told him i am the flower you are the seed
.we walked in the garden we planted a tree
.don't try to find me, please don't you dare
.just live in my memory, you'll always be there

jeda sejenak dan dia pun melanjutkan...
malam itu seolah segalanya berlalu begitu indah
walau dia hanya bisa menyimpan erat malam itu
dalam kenangan yang akan dibawanya sepanjang masa

.then it happened one day, we came round the same way
.you can imagine his surprise when he saw his own eyes
.i said please, please understand
.i'm in love with another man
.and what he couldn't give me
.was the one little thing that you can

namun siapakah yang dapat menerka alur hidup manusia?
buat seseorang, sahabatku itu hanyalah
bagaikan sebutir pasir sepanjang teriknya pantai
sedangkan buat seseorang yang lain,
dia bagaikan mutiara indah di laut biru

khusus malam ini, aku terkenang lagu indah berikutnya:
.rainy days never say goodbye
.to desire when we are together
.rainy days growing in your eyes
.tell me where's my way

.imagine your face
.in a sunshine reflection
.a vision of blue skies
.forever distractions

....
.love me now and again

hujan memang menyimpan sejuta refleksi
cahaya mer-ji-ku-hi-ru-la-ngu
seindah itulah janji esok hari

~ all i wanna do ... heart
~ rainy days never say goodbye ... gazebo
~ raindrops keep falling on my head ... (huggies)
