EARLY Retirement
A young sprinter spirit
Grab an opportunity to run own business
In a hot Port environment
Left a cozy cool room in colorful tie behind
To afford education far away,
for dream a dream
Tsunami come to break the dream
No more ships dare to sail
No more income to pay the bills
The life must go on
Pension pay we rely on
For the sake of descendants
No regret for advance retirement
in a lower pay check

A bright STAR in the high
Eagle fly over to heaven
On the way to Yogjakarta Sultanate
Next to Prambanan love's legend temple
Extend in the higher study
Eager in discussion class
Seated beside a brights's eyes girl
Behind a color jilbab Moslem scarf
A pair eyeball who steal my heart
Like sparkling star in the high
Father's cheek redden shocked
Met at floor style dinner Marlboro
The curtain dropp close, no more play
The sky turn dark without a star
The class full of students, feel empty
Breaking news of star engagement
Sobbed shake my hand in the wedding
Seated to a stranger she never knew

Monalisa Smile
A broken bell ringing from up hill
Wedding a star girl and charming senior
Framed her lips in Monalisa smile
To honor guests in shock questioning
The senior lead the path away
Through tunnels and up down roads
Kept smile along the way while weeping
Out poured from the broken heart
Wedding forced by loving parents
Earthquake rocking almost two decades
Unable to melting down lava of love
Just wipe out cold water flooding
I am sorry can't return your true love
Except loving tree un sinned volunteers
Cold Priangan mountain killed me lonely
Wishing hug, holding me tight

PRINCE of my Heart
Most annoying around dining table
Lovely mom singing a same song
When, when, when
Worrisome miss traditional wedding
After a long stay in hospital bed
Preferred a prince of my heart
Modern wedding plan in mind
But mom dreaming Sumatra prince
Traditional culture of ancestor
Insomnia in dilemma
Dying mom nor prince
Would never be wounded
What should I do
Humming in hospital bed
Wish to inaugurated an Ulos scarf
Unique traditional wedding
And sing Borhat ma Dainang @

Green Green Grass Of Queensland
Wind rocking sway through cloudy sky
My eyeballs fixed on pure smile face
On Byron beach, mirror calm bay
Passed a tiny hole of Ausie law
Lay down over green green grass
Seat over horse's saddle, eying the cows
Anxiety heart turn to peacefully
In the middle of jokes of mixing couple
The job killed the memory of cheeky girls
In my hometown and Borneo island
But longing of Nun Hilla, Nun Baun
Timor homeland villages
Haunting, never fade away
Surrounded by multicolor garden flowers
Green green grass of ranches environment
And traditional Savu scraps in Whites resident
The copy of my beloved homeland

A Choosen Song
Leaving cheeky girl in Borneo junggle
Took a palm tree seed along to isolated island
Savu island, my empty soul to be heal
Facing brilliant sun set in the horizon
Misery told to a light black nice girl
With a bright eyes and sweet smile
Heart beat harder, face to face so close
Tempted lips full of jokes make my days
Play a guitar skilfully singing a song
Oo nawani tana ee, li ta b'ole ballo *)
I send the song to my parent home
But they preferred sing chosen song
Situmorang - Situmorang
My passion grows like a brighter sun
A red roses start to blossom
But soon whiter by old cultures
By chosen uncle girl, Situmorang
