SAJADAH PANJANG (Taufik Ismail)

syair ini digubah oleh salah satu pujangga besar Indonesia

TAUFIK ISMAIL

syair ini dilagukan oleh kelompok musik BIMBO dan GIGI

lagu yang setiap kali mendengarkannya

menggiring batinku untuk selalu mengingat dan menyatakan cinta ku pada NYA

***

ada sajadah panjang terbentang

dari kaki buaian

sampai ke tepi kuburan hamba

kuburan hamba bila mati

ada sajadah panjang terbentang

hamba tunduk dan sujud

di atas sajadah yang panjang ini

diselingi sekedar interupsi

mencari rejeki, mencari ilmu

mengukur jalanan seharian

begitu terdengar suara adzan

kembali tersungkur hamba

ada sajadah panjang terbentang

hamba tunduk dan ruku'

hamba sujud tak lepas kening hamba

mengingat DIKAU sepenuhnya

LOVE QUOTS (by Noname)

happiness is a healthy mental attitude,

a grateful spirit,

a clear conscience,

and a heart full of love

***

the most lonely place in the world

is the human heart when love is absent

***

true love doesn't consist of holding hands

it consists of holding hearts

***

a house is made of walls and beams,

a home is built with love and dreams

***

you can give without loving

but you can't love without giving

***

love may be blind

but it seems to find it's way around

***

of all human passions love is the strongest,

for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses

***

you can always get someone to love you

even if you have to do it yourself

***

CHRISTOPHER MARLOWE

THE PASSIONATE SHEPHERD TO HIS WIFE

Christopher Marlowe
1599 AD

come live with me and be my love

and we will all the pleasure prove

that valleys, groves, hills and fields

woods, or steepy mountain yields

and we will sit upon rocks

seeing the shepherds feed their flocks

by shallow rivers to whose falls

melodious birds sing madrigals

and i will make thee beds of roses

and a thousand fragrant poises

a cap of flowers , and a kirtle

embroidered all with leaves and myrtle

a gown made of the finest wool

which from our pretty lambs we pull

fair lined slippers for the cold

with buckles of the purest gold

a belt of straw and ivy buds

with coral clasp and amber studs

and if these pleassures may thee move

come live with me and be my love

the shepherds' swains shall dance and sing

for thy delight each May morning

if these delights thy mind may move

then live with me and be my love

KEMBALI KITA REBAH BULAT , LAGI dan LAGI

composed by Indonesian artist lives in the USA, Moonear...
thanks for letting me to put your poems here

-----

Bila kata kata… sudah tiada lagi bermakna
Bila semua kalimah… yang terucap dari jiwa
Sudah tiada lagi berarti bagimu
Lalu kenapa masih saja,
Kembali berdua kita rebah bulat
Bagaikan bayi, penuh rinai tawa, dan menagis lagi berdua
Dipelataran jiwa dan di hamparan hatilagi dan lagi….dan lagi
Jangan lagi ada amarahJangan lagi ada sangsi dan gundah
Karna kuyakin engkau bahagian belah jiwaku
Jangan ragu, letakkan gumpal hatiku digarba jiwamu

Biar kutimang hatimu dengan sederhanakuJangan kau pinta, yang aku tak mampu
Karna takkan kugadai jiwaku pada hal hal yang semu
Biarlah dalam sahaja ini kita bertumpu
Tidaklah tetangga sini situ yang buat kita ragu
Di sederhanamu aku bertumpu
Agar aku mampu menerjang karang
Disahajamu kutemukan manikam.
Yang kutahu senyummu luruhkan dahaga
Hingga aku tegak berdiri menyapa hari'Kan kubawa pulang sejatinya peluh
Yang kuraih dengan kepak bahuku sendiri
Janjiku, tidaklah kupersembahkan buatmu
Sesuatu yang bukan miliku
Tidaklah anak kita 'kan tersuapi dengan itu
Kuingin anakku tumbuh dari akar sahaja iniKu tak punya mantra mantra ‘tuk yakinkan dirimu
Agar engkau mengerti atas apa yang kurasa
Namun bisakah kita saling pelajari kitab kitab bilah hati
Dan berbagi hanggara kasih, penuh cinta dan damaiDipundak hatiku kau biasa bersandarDilembut hatimu biarkan kulepas dahaga
Berdua kita selami jelaga hati, segelap apapun.
Berdua kita taburkan pelangi jiwa, seindah lukisan alamKemarilah, disinilah... bersama segala apa adamu

Kita redam segala amarah, mari kita genggam nubuat hati
Mari kayuh bersama Biduk cinta ini
Sampai cakrawala tak terpandang lagi
Sampai garis hidup tak terbaca lagi…

MORNING HAS BROKEN

LYRIC WRITTEN BY : Eleanor Farjeon

SUNG BY : CAT STEVEN

===============================================

morning has broken , like the first morning
blackbird has spoken , like the first bird

praise for the singing , praise for the morning

praise for the springing , fresh from the word

sweet the rains's new fall, sunlight from heaven

like the first dewfall , on the first grass

praise for the new sweetness of the wet garden

sprung in completeness where his feet pass

mine is the sunlight , mine is the morning

born of the one light , Eden saw play

praise with elation , praise every morning

GOD's recreation of the new day

========================================

the history of this sweet song :

(adobted from WIKIPEDIA)

========================================

"Morning Has Broken" was an obscure Christian hymn that became widely known when Cat Stevens included it on his 1971 best-selling album Teaser and the Firecat. It became a signature song for Stevens when it reached number 9 in the charts in 1972.

The

lyrics were written by Eleanor Farjeon in 1922 and is found in the hymnals of many denominations. The tune to which it is normally sung is called "Bunessan", based upon a Scottish Gaelic traditional melody. Before Farjeon's words, it was used as a Christmas carol which began "Child in the manger, Infant of Mary", translated from the Gaelic lyrics written by Mary MacDonald. The English-language Roman Catholic hymnal also uses the tune for the hymn "This Day God Gives Me".

Writing credit for "Morning Has Broken" has often been erroneously attributed to Stevens because of his version of the song which brought it out of obscurity. The familiar piano arrangement on Stevens' album was performed by

Rick Wakeman, a classically trained keyboardist with the English progressive rock band Yes. Wakeman was not credited with nor paid for his contribution at the time of the recording; years later Cat Stevens, now known as Yusuf Islam, acknowledged Wakeman's contribution and paid him.

In 2000, Wakeman released an instrumental version of "Morning Has Broken" on an album of the same title.
Although Stevens is credited with the musical arrangement, the familiar piano intro and general structure of the piece was heard already on Floyd Cramer's 1961 album Last Date.
The song has been covered by numerous artists, including Judy Collins, Floyd Cramer (twice), Dana, Neil Diamond, Art Garfunkel, Nana Mouskouri, Aaron Neville, Kenny Rogers and the First Edition, Sister Janet Mead, and Roger Whittaker.
