INTRODUCTION
Hello Music Lovers
Today I am back to take a part on Hive Music Festival Week N°120 Round 3. It is very nice to back of make a post on this music community that give a chance for all hivers passionate in music to share their work either original or cover song from various language/country. The number of participants who take part on every week of this hive music festival going up in number by the time running. I am very happy to see talented musicians from many countries on stage of this music community.
The song that I am going to cover for this ocassion is "ELANG" from one of Indonesian legend band DEWA 19. "ELANG" means "EAGLE" in English translation. "ELANG" is an emotional song by Dewa 19 that expresses the longing for freedom and unrequited love. Through poetic lyrics, the song tells the story of an individual's journey as he struggles to free himself from the shackles of a painful relationship. The metaphor of the "EAGLE" symbolizes the desire to fly high, reach for dreams, and transcend limitations. The song became popular due to the power of its moving lyrics and heartbreaking melody, making "ELANG" a timeless song that continues to touch its listeners.
Here is the song lyrics and its translation in English...
Aku ingin terbang tinggi
Seperti elang
Melewati siang malam
Menembus awan
I want to fly high
Like an eagle
Passing through day and night
Penetrating the clouds
Ini tanganku untuk kau genggam
Ini tubuhku untuk kau peluk
Ini bibirku untuk kau cium
Tapi tak bisa kau miliki... aku
This is my hand for you to hold
This is my body for you to hug
These are my lips for you to kiss
But you can't own... me
Reff
Tak usah kau terus tangisi kepergianku
Air mata takkan memanggilku
Untuk kembali...
You don't have to keep crying over my departure
Tears won't call me
To return...
Aku adalah mimpi - mimpi sedang melintasi
Sang perawan yang bermain dengan perasaan
I am the dreams that are passing by
The virgin who plays with feelings
Ini tanganku untuk kau genggam
Ini tubuhku untuk kau peluk
Ini bibirku untuk kau cium
Tapi tak bisa kau miliki... aku
This is my hand for you to hold
This is my body for you to hug
These are my lips for you to kiss
But you can't own... me
Here the original video of the song...
