DANCE WITH MY FATHER AGAIN (Lyric)


Back when I was a child,
Before life removed all the innocence.
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me
And then spin me around ‘til I fell asleep.
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure I was loved.
If I could get another chance,
Another walk, another dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
How I’d love, love, love
To dance with my father again

When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way, I would run from her to him
He’d make me laugh just to comfort me
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me

If I could steal one final glance,
One final step, one final dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
‘Cause I’d love, love, love
To dance with my father again

Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
And I’d hear how my mother cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me

I know I’m praying for much too much
But could you send back the only man she loved
I know you don’t do it usually
But DEAR LORD she’s dying
To dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream

" To my dearly dearly husband, hehe...
I know u love this song much although sad song hey! But at least it is nice be able to listen u singing this song for your self, remembering I know u are too shy to sing, hehehe.
This song is for u, Mark... "

Love,
Our baby & me XXxXX

LAGU DOLANAN BOCAH Vs NURSERY RYHMES



Memasuki bulan Juni ini sebagaimana musim dingin di sini, hujan sering mengguyur bumi New Zealand. Membuat cuaca tidak hanya dingin tapi juga lembab dan tiupan anginnya membekukan (baca=menggigit atau 'cekit-cekit' di tulang membuat merinding), walaupun kadang matahari masih bersinar. Karena itu kalau tidak ada acara atau kepentingan yang penting sekali kami lebih suka tinggal di rumah. Bagi kami berdua sih tidak ada masalah dengan cuaca, tapi mengingat Nathan masih terhitung bayi yang masih gampang kena virus penyakit kalau badannya tidak fit karena dingin.

Dengan lebih seringnya menghabiskan akhir pekan di rumah, kami bertiga jadi lebih sering bermain bersama. Kebetulan Nathan sudah bisa diajak berinteraksi : tersenyum, tertawa terkekeh-kekeh, mendengarkan kalau kita sedang bicara, ataupun (mencoba) berkata dengan bahasa celotehannya sendiri. Sering kami juga mengajak dia bermain sambil menyanyi, karna kebetulan kami berdua memang suka menyanyi. Dan kalau Nathan sudah bisa menyadari pasti dia akan mengerti bahwa kami sering mengajaknya menyanyi dengan bahasa yang berbeda-beda.

Berikut ini lagu-lagu yang sering kami nyanyikan dengan Nathan :
Kalau pas hari hujan maka Mark akan menyanyikan Nursery Rhyme (lagu dolanan anak-nya UK) "It's Raining, It's Pouring" dan aku akan gantian menyanyikan "Tik Tik Tik Bunyi Hujan". Biasanya pas lagu "It's Raining, It's Pouring" dibagian akhir lagu di kalimat "Little Johny" akan diganti dengan "Little Nathan" atau kalau pas aku yang menyanyikan biasanya kuganti dengan "dek Nathan"! (ha ha...).

Kali lain ketika Nathan mulai mengantuk dan kami ingin membuatnya lebih tenang agar segera tertidur di bok bayinya, maka akan terdengar lagu kalau tidak "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" ya lagu "Nina Bobok" (walaupun di sini tidak ada nyamuknya, hehehe). Tergantung siapa yang sedang bersamanya ketika Nathan mengantuk. Biasanya pas lagu "Nina Bobok", kata "Nina" akan kuganti dengan "Nathan"... (maafkan saya ya pengarang lagu "Nina Bobok"...).

Untuk lagu yang interaktif dan sekaligus bisa membuat Nathan tertawa karena di-"ilikithik" (baca=digelitik perutnya), kalau pas Mark menyanyikan lagu "This Little Piggie" atau pas aku menyanyi "Keplok Rame-Rame" ("Pok Ame-ame"). Seringnya setelah lagu "Keplok Rame-Rame" aku suka tambahin sendiri lagunya dengan :
...Di mana susunya, di sini, sini, sini... Di sini, sini, sini...
(sambil tanganku menggelitik dadanya)

Lain waktu juga bermain sambil bernyanyi sekaligus yaaah... belajar berhitung jugalah kalau bisa dibilang. Biasanya Mark akan menyanyi lagu "One Two Three" dan tentu saja aku akan menyanyi lagu andalan anak-anak Indonesia untuk belajar dasar menghitung, "Satu Satu Aku Sayang Ibu"!!! ha ha...

Satu hal yang mungkin Nathan bisa membedakan diantara nyanyian orang tuanya (seandainya dia sudah bisa mengungkapkan) ialah Mark lebih pemalu (baca=cuma tersenyum-senyum sambil menyanyi dan memandang mata anaknya) dan cenderung dengan suara pelan kalau mengajak Nathan menyanyi sambil bermain. Kalau aku sih bukannya tidak pemalu ya (tapi malu-maluin kali ya, ha ha), tapi biasa jadi penyanyi di kamar mandi sih, jadi cuek aja dengan suara kenceng dan dengan gerakan-gerakan tangan dan ekspresi muka. Biarlah... asal anakku senang dan tertawa-tawa deh! Wkekekekekekkk...

IT'S RAINING, IT'S POURING
It's raining, it's pouring
The old man is snoring
Went to bed and bumped his head
And couldn't get up in the morning.
Rain, rain, go away;
Come again another day;
Little Johnny wants to play.

TIK, TIK, TIK BUNYI HUJAN
Tik tik tik bunyi hujan di atas genting.
Airnya turun tidak terkira.
Cobalah tengok, dahan dan ranting,
pohon dan kebun basah semua.

TWINKLE, TWINKLE, LITTLE STAR
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

NINA BOBOK
Nina bobok, Ooohh Nina bobok
Kalau tidak bobok digigit nyamuk
Boboklah, bobok anakku sayang
kalau tidak bobok digigit nyamuk

THIS LITTLE PIGGIE
This little piggie went to market,
This little piggie stayed home,
This little piggie had roast beef,
This little piggie had none,
And this little piggie cried, "Wee! Wee! Wee!"
All the way home.
Note : (Use your finger to wiggle each toe starting with the biggest)

KEPLOK RAME-RAME
Keplok rame-rame, belalang, kupu-kupu
Siang makan nasi kalau malam minum susu
(tambahanku) :
Dimana susunya, di sini, sini, sini...
Di sini, sini, sini...

ONE, TWO, THREE...
One, two, three, four, five
Once I caught a fish alive.
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Then I let it go again.
Why did you let it go?
Because it bite my finger so.
Which finger did it bite?
This little finger on the right.

SATU, SATU AKU SAYANG IBU
Satu, satu aku sayang Ibu
Dua, dua juga sayang ayah
Tiga, tiga sayang adik kakak
Satu dua tiga sayang semuanya

When You Love Someone

For my lovely husband...
"Happy Valentine's Day! Thank you for loving me..."

When you love someone - you'll do anything
you'll do all the crazy things that you can't explain
you'll shoot the moon - put out the sun
when you love someone...

You'll deny the truth - believe a lie
there'll be times that you'll believe you can really fly
but your lonely nights - have just begun
when you love someone...

When you love someone - you'll feel it deep inside
and nothin' else can ever change your mind
when you want someone - when you need someone
when you love someone...

When you love someone - you'll sacrifice
you'd give it everything you got and you won't think twice
you'd risk it all - no matter what may come
when you love someone... yeah
you'll shoot the moon - put out the sun
when you love someone...

Mother, How Are You Today?

Mother, how are you today?
Here is a note from your daughter
With me everything is ok
Mother, how are you today?

Mother, don't worry, I'm fine
Promise to see you this summer
This time there will be no delay
Mother, how are you today?

I found the man of my dreams
Next time you will get to know him
Many things happened while I was away
Mother, how are you today?

SOMEWHERE OUT THERE

Somewhere out there
beneath the pale moonlight
Someone's thinking of me
and loving me tonight

Somewhere out there
someone's saying a prayer
That we'll find one another
In that great somewhere out there

And eventhough I know
how very far apart we are
It helps to think
we might be wishing
on the same bright star
And when the night wind starts
to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping
underneath the same big sky

Somewhere out there
if love can see us through
Then we'll be together
Somewhere out there
out where dreams come true...


I dedicate this song to "Someone Out There",
who always in my pray...

WHEN YOU BELIEVE



Many nights we've prayed

In our hearts a hopeful song

We barely understood

Now we are not afraid

Although we know

There's much to fear

We were moving mountains



There can be miracles

When you believe

Though hope is frail

It's hard to kill

Who knows what miracles

You can achieve

When you believe

Somehow you will

You will when you believe



In this time of fear

When prayer so often

Proves in vain

Hope seemed like the summer birds

Too swiftly flown away

Yet now I'm standing here

My heart's so full

I can't explain

Seeking faith and speaking words

I never thought I'd say



There can be miracles

When you believe

Though hopeis frail

It's hard to kill

Who knows the miracles

You can achieve

When you believe

Somehow you will

You will when you believe



So in times when all your hope is gone

And you go through life afraid

In your heart there lies a hopeful song

That is there to guide the way

And all the hurt and all the pain

You soon will learn was not in vain

For all your prayers

They will be heard

They'll come to pass through faith
