Terima Kasih, Lissie

Waktu sa masih bodok bahasa Inggris, sa pikir Many Rivers to Cross tu lagu perjuangan :D :D

Kamu tida perlu 'ckckck'. Sa dengar ini lagu pertama kali pas SD. Bahasa Inggris sa baru kuasai kosa kata dasar sa. Bemana sa tida terkecoh, Jimmy Cliff nyanyi penuh penghayatan. Baptua pu gaya macam biduan-biduan lagi nyanyi lagu kebangsaan pas siaran Tinju Kelas Berat versi WBO. Sangat khidmat. Belum lagi penontonnya riuh tepuk tangan. Kalo kau di posisi saya, ko pasti terkecoh, to? (Bilang, iya!)

Belum lama ini sa ketemu Lissie di YouTube. Mamtua pu suara pas cover ini 1969 song enak ngeri. Donlotlah saya. Sekarang memang sa punya Inggris masih di begginer level. Hanya situasinya su beda, sodara. Dengan Google Translate makin banyak orang yang bikin status pake bahasa Inggris sa jadi tau kalo ini padahal lagu sedih!
Hahahaha

Terima kasih, Lissie. Kop suara (dan juga Google Translate) buat saya tercerahkan. *emot muka dengan dua biji mata bentuk hati 3x*

(Cerita su abis disini. Tapi biar ini tulisan agak panjang, sa salinkan lirik Many Rivers To Cross.)

Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost as I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross and it's only my will
That keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years and
I merely survive because of my pride.

And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My woman left and she didn't say why
Well I guess I have to try.
Many rivers to cross but just where to begin
I'm playing for time
There'll be times I find myself thinking
Of committing some dreadful crime.

I've got many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost as I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross and it's only my will
That keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years and,
I merely survive because of my pride.
