What a Song



Such a beautiful song. Yeah, the wordings are romantic indeed. But do they make sense?

When you're in love, nothing seems impossible and you thought you'd be willing to go through hell and high waters just to be with the one you love, no?

But reality check please.

Part of the lyrics I find interesting to analyse:

Relaku menunggumu seribu tahun lama lagi
Tapi benarkah hidup aku akan selama ini


Translation:
I'm willing to wait for you for 1000 years longer
But will my life last this long


Yeah right. Wait for another 1000 more years? Most can't even wait 10 years longer or even just 10 months longer. At least he had the sense to question the possibility of his life lasting that long.

Next,
Relaku mengejarmu seribu batu jauh lagi
Tapi benarkah kaki ku-kan tahan sepanjang jalan ini


Translation:
I'm willing to chase you for a further 1000 miles
But will my legs be able to stand the whole journey


Good question there dude. But I was wondering, why do you need to go on foot just to chase after the girl. Have you heard of chasing her by car instead? You'll cover the extra 1000 miles in no time and your legs won't have to suffer too.

Duhh! Things people do and say for love...
