Hola Hivers
Such a blessing time to finally make my comeback to take a part on weekly music celebration on our beloved platform, Hive blockchain. It was about three months ago since my late post on this community before I made up my mind to have a break for a moment. As always, this community become my top priority to share my music and celebrate the event with many great musicians from some different countries. Really happy to see you all still turn the community on with your music guys.
As we all know and believed, music still one of the best way to spread peace and global harmony in this complicated world. What the founder of this community done so far is absolutely unbelievable. By the time going, the number of participants increase well. For me who has been here since the week of #2 of Hive Open Mic, with my old account that was stolen due to the phising link, @rezasofyan, I bloody glad to find myself with you all great Hivers all over the world. God bless you all!
For this occassion, the week of #278 with the given theme "FUNNY SONGS", I am singing my original song in Acehnese language. Still accompanied by my string guitar that need to upgrade its string, the song tittle "KAPAI TUHA" or "Old Boat" in English translation is going to fit the theme while the song telling you about THE FUNNIEST COUNTRY in the world name, Indonesia. This sarcastic song, not using BAHASA or the official language of Indonesia. I use my mother language, Aceh.
To little bit telling you more, Aceh is one of the province of Indonesia that has long story fight for our freedom and seperate from Indonesia. You may googling what had happened precisely about this horizontal conflict. Long story short, Aceh was a funding area during the founding of Indonesia that become a country after the world war II while Japan surrender to United states and its allies on 7 August 1945. Ten days later, The country name Indonesia born to the earth after declaration by Soekarno, the 1st president of this country.
Soekarno succeed to manipulate Acehnese leader to join Indonesia. Then, after the short honeymoon, Aceh was betrayed by Indonesian ruler. The first conflict was happened on 1953 after Aceh province erased. Then Acehnese people raised the weapon againts Jakarta, Indonesia and finally reached "Daerah Istimewa" or Special Area after peace on 1956.
What next was trully a tragedy while Natural resources, including oil and gas, were extracted from Aceh to finance the Indonesian state. What did we get? Bloody massacre after bloody massacre, with countless lives lost due to decades of military operations in Aceh since 1976 to 2005.
Woow, I talked you a lot! Let me conclude it, I am An Acehnese and poor me my country is Indonesia, the most random country in the world!
Let's go to my video guys!
Lyrics and its translation
Indon nyoe lagee kapai tuha
Buco kon aloh tapi be raya
Leumah tanda kapai keuneuk lham
Keuneuk wassalam meu akhe masa
Indonesia likes an old boat
the leak is not small but big
It seems will be sink
The time to end up will be come
Tapi yang lucu takalon aneh
Rame theun daleh dhoe kapai tuha
Demi rupia meuglong-glong mareh
Dawa boh ngon kreh tan mupat punca
But so many freak Acehnese shows up
They try to work the boat sail
But the truth they just stand for the sake money
Make a noise, useless fighting as penis and its ball
Kah leumak sidroe kana u dalam
Dikee kabi tan inoe dilua
Bek ka khop sidroe wase kapai nyan
Keubah keu pajan bek abeh papa
You Acehnese wealth by working in the boat
I really forgotten outside
Don't eat all for yourself
Save some don't be waste
Ingat sekoci yoh lham kapai nyan
Bek sampoe karam meu eunchit tan na
Bek abeh sigo peuturot badan
Ingat hai rakan nyoe KAPAI TUHA
Remember to prepare the lifeboat when this old boat sink then
Don't sink with no trace
Don't waste all greedily
Remember Indonesia is an OLD BOAT
Bek abeh sigo sampoe gleh pingan
Keubah meulisan keu aneuk cuco
Meunyo tan tinggai meu saboh talam
Pane dikeunang jeujak tanyoe na
Don't let all waste for nothing
Let some sweet to the next generation
If there is nothing left then
Our stepfoot will not be remembered
Note: The old boat refers to Indonesia. The funny things about this song, for me, so many Acehnese become a part of this new kind of colonization while so many corruption, horrible law enforcement, bad education, etc still happen in the big(read- FAT) country name Indonesia!
