lyrics

The nameless shrouds
Must be cast into the pit
Rich and poor alike
Find no rest in a common grave

The smell of quicklime bubbles
Bursting in the air
Disintegrate what’s left of who you were
There’s nothing but the dirt we share

(Mijil by Mangkunegara IV from the Salokatama 16)
Kayektine pangkat ageng alit
Kang luhur kang asor
Sugih miskin kabeh sasamane
Yen ginulung sarta den condhongi
Adoh kang sok serik
Cedhak sukanipun

Translation: (Soesatyo Darnawi)
(Actually people of high rank or low
Who are glorious or servile
Rich or poor, are all the same
If we could all live together
Dissatisfaction would fade away
And people would be happier)

The suffering of a child
The bread of our affliction
Accept or deny everything

Detect, condemn, what choice do I have?
To know or to cure, a life or a soul?
The weight of my exhaustion, a blessing in disguise
I can’t feel the fire, though it burns
(by SH)
