Hello my brothers and sisters, good morning and keep the spirit. My band and I are back again to participate in this weekly event in the #Hive #Openmic community. In this week's event, the admin gave the theme "Lost" for the music, we are going to play, so we covered a song created by a punk rock band from Jakarta, "Bunga Hitam" entitled "Pelacur" (Whore).
This song tells about a friend who is no longer in the visionary circle. They sell their idealism to get money and fame, so they forget the vision and mission that have been discussed together.
Those who used to be with us to fight the oppression and injustice created by the power system have turned around and joined the corrupt and greedy ruling group for money and mortal wealth. They have lost their way and lost their identity, and we call them Whore. The lyrics of the song are as follows:
"Kemarin kita masih disini kawan
Dalam lingkaran diskusi sebuah mimpi
Yang sama-sama kita sadari kawan
Onggokan berasap sebuah janji kedepan
Lalu kata hati mulai tak sejalan
Lingkaran setan telah menarikmu
Uang dan ketenaran tlah
menyilaukan hatimu
Kami kan berbalik dan melawanmu!
Ku panggil engkau pelacur!
Ku panggil engkau pelacur!
Ku panggil engkau pelacur!
Karena kau memang pelacur!
Percayalah kami tak peduli lagi denganmu
Kemunafikan dan keserakahanmu
Apapun alasanmu kini tak berarti lagi
Selamat datang di dunia ilusi!"
if the lyrics of the song are translated into English, then the lyrics are like this;
"Yesterday we were still here friends
In the circle of discussion a dream
What we are both aware of, friends
A smoky pile of a promise for the future
Then the heart starts to disagree
The vicious circle has drawn you
Money and fame have blinded your heart
We will turn around and fight you!
I call you a whore!
I call you a whore!
I call you a whore!
Because you are a whore!
Trust me we don't care about you anymore
Your hypocrisy and greed
Whatever your reason is now it doesn't matter anymore
Welcome to the world of illusion!"
Thank you for watching and listening to the songs we play. I hope your ears don't hurt after listening to this song. See you at the next #openmic event. Regards.
