ANYAM ANYAMAN NYAMAN II

Anyam nyaman anyaman nyam nyam

Anyaman nyaman duka citaku
Sulam sulaman sulaman duka
Suka dukaku, duka citaku
Tisik tisikan tisiskan kasih
kasihan duka, duka citaku *)

Semesta semesranya
S’raya bertabur sapa
S’raya bertabur suka
Serayakan nestapa

Kadang dangkal kadang janggal

Jengkal jengkal jelajah kaki
kaki kami kakikan
Dekat degup detak denyut
Debar desir jantungku
Ketika tak ketika tak
Kata kata tak kita ketikkan
Tak kita titikkan
Kata kata ketakutan

Anyam nyaman anyaman nyam nyam

My sorrows entanglement
Sulam sulamat knitting joy
My joy, my sorrows
Tisik tisikan mending passion
Poor sorrow, my joy *)
Such profound intimacy
Yet spiced with greeting
Yet spiced with joy
And misery
Sometimes shallow sometimes weird
step by step the feet explored
our feet stepped by
close to the beating ticking of the pulse
The beating hissing in my heart
When not
Words we did not write out
Yet we did not end
The word of fear
