kinanthi
~ third song ~
for Intan Olivia Marbun
her little feet
must now learn
to walk without
a mother's holding
that's how it seems
but is this so ?
is it only blades of grass
her tiny hands can grab ?
wild flowers that cheer
for another attempt
to rise up in giggles
does laughter remain
when tears are no more ?
the bomb takes skin
takes pain in the end
it leaves all the time
not of this world
is that what she has now ?
kinanthi
~ tembang ketiga ~
untuk Intan Olivia Marbun
kaki mungil tak beribu
tertatih seorang diri
selepas bom di gereja
pekik pilu, jerit sedih
ia pergi ke hampar surga
menjelma indah abadi
PS : The Indonesian version follows the original pattern of Kinanthi (Six lines, 8u - 8i - 8a - 8i - 8a - 8i)
PS 2 : Intan Olivia Marbun passed away when a bomb exploded in a church she attended three days ago. Most of the victims of this incident are infants.
