I don't wanna talk about things we've gone through, Though it's hurting me, now it's history. I've played all my cards and that's what you've done too, Nothing more to say, no more ace to play. The winner takes it all, The loser standing small beside the victory, that's her destiny. I was in your arms thinking I belonged there, I figured it made sense, building me a fence, Building me a home, thinking I'd be strong there, But I was a fool, playing by the rules. The gods may throw a dice, their minds as cold as ice, And someone way down here loses someone dear. The winner takes it all, the loser has to fall, It's simple and it's plain, why should I complain. But tell me, does she kiss like I used to kiss you, Does it feel the same when she calls your name. Somewhere deep inside you must know I miss you, But what can I say, rules must be obeyed. The judges will decide the likes of me abide, Spectators of the show always staying low. The game is on again, a lover or a friend, A big thing or a small, the winner takes it all. I don't wanna talk if it makes you feel sad, And I understand you've come to shake my hand. I apologize if it makes you feel bad seeing me so tense, no self confidence.
Pernah denger lagu tersebut?
ABBA menyanyi dan menciptakannya……
Mengapa saya menuliskan lagu ini?
Situasinya cocok dengan kejadian besok… Pilkada DKI
Kita lihat bait-baitnya
1.
The winner takes it all, The loser standing small beside the victory, that's her destiny.
Sang pemenang akan mengambil semuanya
Si pecundang akan terpekur kehilangan segalanya..
Jabatan gubernur dan gelar “AHLI” yang disandangnya
Itu sudah nasibnya (destiny)
2.
Though it's hurting me, now it's history.
Kekalahan menyakitkan…namun kekalahan itu bagian dari sejarah
3.
the loser has to fall, It's simple and it's plain, why should I complain.
Si pecundang harus menyingkir
Mudah…saking mudahnya kenapa harus protes?
Sehingga Pilkada tak kunjung usai karena tak mengakui kekalahan
4.
But what can I say, rules must be obeyed. The judges will decide the likes of me abide, Spectators of the show always staying low.
Nasehat yang Indah dari ABBA
“Patuhi aturan
Keputusan akan dijatuhkan
Penonton silakan menyimak tenang…..”
5.
I don't wanna talk if it makes you feel sad, And I understand you've come to shake my hand.
Pemenang tak pelu koar-koar
Karena Cuma menyakiti sang pecundang…
Berjabat tanganlah agar rasa benci itu hilang
…………………
Akankah nasehat ABBA akan terjadi besok?
Wallahualam
