Pursuit Of Dream

Scintillation light in the morning
Welcomes soul full of ambition
Start wading step
A bright future awaited
    I start with a definite step
Staring at the sun light
Incessant pulse
Retracing steps stronger my heart
On expectations of ideals
Although I traveled nevertheless far right
Sky-high ornamental star
I will continue to reach out it
     Million for steps to achieve it
Covering an area of ocean sweat
Never mind
I will achieve all the dreams
MENGEJAR MIMPI
Kilau sinar di pagi hari
Sambut jiwa yang penuh ambisi
Memulai langkah mengarungi
Masa depan yang cerah dinanti
Kumulai dengan langkah pasti
Menatap cahaya sang mentari
Denyut nadi yang tak henti
Menapak langkah teguhkan hati
Tentang harapan tentang cita
Walau jauh kan ku tempuh jua
Setinggi bintang hias angkasa
Ku akan tetap tuk menggapainya
Sejuta langkah tuk meraihnya
Seluas lautan keringatku
Tak akan pernah pedulikan
Ku akan raih semua impian
Oleh: wawan setiawan

Never Look Back

Never Look Back
Never look back at your past,
The past is the past,
and nothing at last,
Look into the future,
for what you might see,
is the brighter days
Set up your plan,
and move your feet
Jangan Melihat Ke Belakan
Jangan melihat ke belakang
Masa lalu adalah masa lalu
Dan menjadi tak berarti
Lihatlah ke depan,
Karena kau akan melihat,
Hari yang lebih cerah
Tentukan rencanamu,
Langkahkan kakimu

At The Beach

The wind blows
I breathe deeply
I can feel the sand
I can hear the waves
I close my eyes so tight
I can barely see light
It feels as if I float in thin air
It’s relaxing, it’s refreshing
It’s peace, it’s nature
It’s as if I can fly
And never die…

Di Pantai
Angin bertiup
Aku mengirup nafas dalam
Aku bisa merasakan pasirnya
Aku bisa mendengar ombak
Kututup mata rapat
Aku bisa melihat cahaya
Seolah aku melayang di udara
Rasanya begitu santai, begitu menyegarkan
Inilah kedamaian, inilah alam
Seolah aku bisa terbang
dan takan pernah mati…
