Hi all my friends, my name is Teofilus Sinaga. I come from Indonesia, precisely to the city of Medan. I'm back to entertain you again on the weekly Hive #openmic event which has entered its 133rd week with the theme "Opportunity". This theme was chosen by a young woman who has a beautiful voice, she is @sekani. This community is very interesting to me because it provides challenges every week with interesting themes. I have to find a song with the right theme. This challenge is what got me interested in this Hive Open Mic.
In this week's theme, I will sing a cover of a song called “Jump Higher”, in English “Jump higher”. This song was written and popularized by an Indonesian pop music group, Sheila On Seven. I love this band because the songs are so uplifting and vibrate in my soul. Although they sing songs with the theme of love, the lyrics in their songs are not cryptic and heartbroken. Instead, it gives strength and energy to rise even though it is hit by infidelity and unrequited love.
One of Sheila On Seven's songs that I performed today tells about the spirit to achieve better things, rise from hostile conditions, and then jump to a higher position. Many people who have so much energy to achieve something, pick the dream star. Some of them are passionate about facing challenges. Regardless of what motivation they want to get, what's interesting is that they always have something in common, namely, they have abundant energy, dare to face challenges and have big ambitions to be realized.
Indonesian Lyric
“Kita berlari dan teruskan bernyanyi
Kita buka lebar pelukan mentari
Bila ku terjatuh nanti, kau siap mengangkat aku lebih tinggi
Seperti pedih yang telah kita bagi
Layaknya luka yang telah terobati
Bila kita jatuh nanti, kita siap 'tuk melompat lebih tinggi
Bersama kita bagai hutan dan hujan
Aku ada karna engkau telah tercipta
Kupetik bintang, untuk kau simpan
Cahayanya tenang, berikan kau perlindungan
Sebagai pengingat teman
Juga sebagai jawaban
Semua tantangan
Sebelum waktu memisahkan detikku, detikmu
Sebelum dewasa, menua, memisahkan kita,
Degupan jantung kita akan s'lalu seirama
Bila kau rindu aku”
English Lyric
“We run and keep on singing
We open wide the embrace of the sun
If I fall later, you are ready to lift me higher
Like the pain we have shared
Like a wound that has been healed
When we fall later, we are ready to jump higher
Together we are like forest and rain
I exist because you were created
I pick stars, for you to save
The light is calm, give you protection
As a reminder friend
Also as an answer
All challenges
Before time separates my seconds, your seconds
Before maturity, aging, separates us,
Our heartbeats will always be in rhythm
When you miss me”
Thank you for listening to the songs I play, I hope you all enjoy the voice I sing. Greetings all. May we all be able to give love to all beings in the universe. Stay healthy, keep your spirit, and greetings from me. Below is the original version of the song I performed today.
