Lyrics of Mengerti - Laze, Ayub Jonn

Mengerti (original)

Ku harap kau mengerti mengapa ku tak pernah berhenti berlari
Ku harap kau mengerti mengapa ku tak ada disisi
Waktu ku muda tak semua mudah
Bila ku tua ku harap aku bertuah
Punya wanita yang baik di rumah
Yang bisa bersatu kala kita berdua
Bukan pelukis, tapi hari kuwarnai
Tak perlu barcode kalau ingin dihargai
Memang hartaku tiada berlebih
Tapi ibu bilang usaha tanpa letih
Walau hidupmu tak seindah mereka
Jangan masinis macam supir kereta
Cari harta jangan lupa kebaikan
Bagaikan cek, kewajiban harus ditunaikan
Oh.
Ku coba buatmu bangga
Dengan ambil langkah yang langka
Hidup bagai ular tangga
Naik dan turun lari dan merangkak
Ku lelah tapi tak menyerah
Ku pakai dasiku di kerah
Biarkan lah aku bekerja
Hingga senja bertemu senja
Ku harap kau
Mengerti
Mengerti
Ku harap kau mengerti
Menanti
Menanti
Sabarlah kau menanti
Mengerti
Mengerti
Ku harap kau mengerti
Menanti
Menanti
Sabarlah kau menanti
Semua inginkan dana yang berlimpah
Macam ibukota Peru mobil ada lima
Cari wanita mirip Adriana Lima
Ini hutan konkrit siapa jadi raja rimba
Setiap orang disini perlu makan
Masalah lebih kompleks dari perumahan
Ingin sukses, semua putar otak
Tak perlu pakai heels tapi semua ber-hak
Uang bagai gas sama-sama ditabung
Macam sinetron hidup harus bersambung
Gaji tak di kantung
Makanan tak masuk ke usus, sebab harga melambung
Dambakan hidup tanpa stress, hari-hari lebih manis dari janji capres
Ku lelah tapi tak menyerah
Ku pakai dasiku di kerah
Biarkan lah aku bekerja
Hingga senja bertemu senja
Ku harap kau
Mengerti
Mengerti
Ku harap kau mengerti
Menanti
Menanti
Sabarlah kau menanti
Mengerti
Mengerti
Ku harap kau mengerti
Menanti
Menanti
Sabarlah kau menanti
Ku harap kau mengerti mengapa ku tak pernah berhenti berlari
Ku harap kau mengerti mengapa ku tak ada disisi

(translation)

I hope you understand why I never stop running
I hope you understand why I'm not around
When I was young, not everything was easy
When I'm old I hope I'm lucky
Have a good woman at home
That can be united when we are both
Not a painter, but a coloring day
You don't need a barcode if you want to be appreciated
Indeed, I have no excess
But mother said tireless efforts
Even if your life is not as beautiful as theirs
Don't be a mechanic like a car driver
Look for wealth, don't forget goodness
Like a check, obligations must be paid
Oh.
I tried to make you proud
By taking a rare step
Live like a ladder snake
Up and down running and crawling
I'm tired but not giving up
I wear my tie on the collar
Let me work
Until dusk meets dusk
I hope you
Understood
Understood
I hope you understand
Waiting
Waiting
You wait patiently
Understood
Understood
I hope you understand
Waiting
Waiting
You wait patiently
Everyone wants abundant funds
Like the capital of Peru, there are five cars
Find women like Adriana Lima
This is a concrete jungle who is the king of the jungle
Everyone here needs to eat
The problem is more complex than housing
Wanting to be successful, all the brain spins
No need to wear heels but everyone has rights
Money is like gas both saved
Like a soap opera, life should continue
The salary is not in the pocket
Food does not enter the intestines, because the price is inflated
Longing for a stress-free life, the days are sweeter than the president's promise
I'm tired but not giving up
I wear my tie on the collar
Let me work
Until dusk meets dusk
I hope you
Understood
Understood
I hope you understand
Waiting
Waiting
You wait patiently
Understood
Understood
I hope you understand
Waiting
Waiting
You wait patiently
I hope you understand why I never stop running
I hope you understand why I'm not around
