ARE YOU

STILL
PLAYING
YOUR FLUTE?
ZURINAH HASSAN
Are you still playing your Masihkah kau bermain
flute? seruling
When there is hardly time walau waktu telah terlewat
for our love untuk kita bercinta
I am feeling guilty aku semakin terasa bersalah
To be longing for your song melayani godaan irama
The melody concealed in the lagu yang tersimpan pada
slim hollow of the bamboo lorong halus buluh
Uncovered by the breath of dikeluarkan oleh nafas
an artist seniman
diukir oleh bibir
Composed by his fingers
diatur oleh jari
Blown by the wind
dilayangkan oleh alun angin
To the depth of my heart. menolak ke dasar rasa.
Are you still playing your Masihkah kau bermain
flute? seruling
In the village so quiet and ketika kampung semakin
deserted sunyi
Amidst the sick rice field sawah telah uzur
While here it has become waktu jadi terlalu mahal
a luxury untuk memerhatikan hujan
To spend time watching turun
the rain merenung jalur senja
Gazing at the evening rays mengutip manik embun
Collecting dew drops menghidu harum bunga.
Or enjoying the fragrance
of flowers
Masihkah kau bermain seruling
Are you still playing your ketika aku terasa mata bersalah
flute? untuk melayani rasa rindu
The more it disturbs my padamu
conscience di kota yang semakin kusut dan
tenat
to be thinking of you adik-adikku menganggur dan sakit
in the hazard of you jiwa
my younger brothers bangsaku dipecahkan oleh politik
unemployed and desperate saudara diserang bom-bom ganas
dunia sudah terlalu tua dan parah.
my people disunited by
politics
my friend slaughtered
mercilessly
this world is too old and
bleeding
Is this the end of our love
time is forcing us, as artists
to live outside ourselves

Di sinilah berakhirnya percintaan kita


kerana zaman sedang menuntut para seniman
hidup di luar dirinya.
