Satu Bunga Gugur

satu bunga gugur

satu bunga gugur
dari tangkai bergulir
jatuh ke tanah

akhirnya ia tunduk
kala waktunya telah tiba

biarlah,
ia sudah berkembang
dari kuncup sampai bunga mekar

hidupnya sudah penuh
dari menatap matahari
hingga menentang angin dan hujan

satu bunga gugur
putihnya masih berkesan
harumnya masih terkenang

one flower fell

one flower fell
rolling slowly from the stalk
fallen to the ground

finally it submitted
when the time had come

let it be,
for it had matured
from a bud to a fully blooming crown

its life was full,
from daring to stare at the sun,
to withstanding against wind and rain

one flower fell
yet the white is emblazoning
the fragrant is reminiscing

hope you can still play your jazz records up there
