Forever Young

Ini adalah anatara lagu kegemaran aku kerana liriknya. Ia amat berbeza dari lagu-lagu balada cinta lain yang pernah aku dengar. Nanti aku cerita kenapa.

Somebody (Depeche Mode)

I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who’ll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
She’ll get my support
She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She’ll hear me out
And won’t easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she’ll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me
Aaaahhhhh….

I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and
With every breath
Someone who’ll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don’t want to be tied
To anyone’s strings
I’m carefully trying to steer clear of
Those things
But when I’m asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I’ll get away with it
Aaaahhhhh….

Kenapa aku suka lagu ini? Kalau korang perasan kebanyakan lagu-lagu cinta lebih bersifat dominan yakni dalam perhubungan karekter-karekter didalam lagu tersebut (cth you are my girl, I belong to you, Nobody can take you from me, You are mine dsb). Lagu diatas adalah bersifat perkongsian dan kesamarataan serta memupuk rasa hormat antara dua karekter.

Ini yang aku pegang sehingga sekarang.

Isteri bukan hakmilik suami, tetapi suatu anugerah.
