Pagi Hari di Durham

Semalam hantar work-in progress punya paper. Dah pening-pening kepala sejak minggu lepas. Hari ni baru release sikit. Terus terasa nak work on another new project. So it’s time for Open Project!!

And the song is “Hey There Delilah”. First, sebab lagu ni cam popular. Second, sebab aku dah make peace with this song (this is note for Mahadi). Third, sebab lepas buat versi serious, aku cadang nak buat versi ‘keji’ untuk kawan kita yang jauh itu (this is note for Kak Dijah).

Walau bagaimanapun, it’s time for an open call for lyrics translation. Penat ah buat sendiri sorang-sorang, plus aku terus blank bila sampai part ‘it’s what you do to me’. Nah translate apa ntah dalam BM.

So here’s how things work. Kalau korang ada idea bagi mana-mana verse (termasuk Verse 1 dan 2 yang telah diterjemah), tulis nombor verse, dan terjemahkanlah. In the end, nanti aku pilihlah mana-mana yang aku berkenan:)

Ini demonya:-

Ini liriknya

Verse 1:
Hey there Delilah
What’s it like in New York City?
I’m a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can’t shine as bright as you
I swear it’s true

Terjemahan Verse 1:
Wahai Delilah
Apa khabarmu di sana
Biarpun di hujung dunia
Ku tahu kau sihat-sihat sahaja
Sinaran malam kota raya
Kaulah punca

Verse 2
Hey there Delilah
Don’t you worry about the distance
I’m right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it’s my disguise
I’m by your side

Terjemahan Verse 2
Wahai Delilah
Usahlah merenung jauh
Dengarkanlah lagu ini
Tika kau terasa sunyi
Pejamlah
Suaraku kan menemani
Kau di sana

Verse 3
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
What you do to me

Verse 4
Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I’ll pay the bills with this guitar
We’ll have it good
We’ll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Ulang Verse 3

Verse 5
A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they’ve got planes and trains and cars
I’d walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we’ll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you’re to blame

Verse 6
Hey there Delilah
You be good and don’t you miss me
Two more years and you’ll be done with school
And I’ll be making history like I do
You’ll know it’s all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here’s to you
This one’s for you
