saco-indonesia.com, Menganggap penggunaan bahasa asing sudah sering digunakan, Budi Doremi telah memilih bahasa ibunya untuk single terbaru. Lagu itu ia beri judul
Hati Ku Telah Dijelep-jelepin Kamu.
"Judul single Hati Ku Telah Di jelep-jelepin kamu. Kalau aku import produk Bahasa Inggris yang keren-keren itu juga sudah biasa," kata Budi di Kawasan SCBD, Jakarta Selatan, Rabu (5/2) kemarin.
Budi juga mengaku bangga dengan menggunakan bahasa ibunya. Begitu juga dengan pemilihan musik melayu, pop, dan latin yang diracik menjadi satu di lagu tersebut.
"Aku lebih bangga dengan bahasa ibuku sendiri yang sebetulnya banyak orang salah persepsi tentang musik melayu. Aku gabungkan musik melayu dengan pop dan latin," paparnya.
Dilanjutkan Budi, lagu Hati Ku Telah Dijelep-jelepin Kamu bercerita tentang
keberanian dalam menyatakan perasaan secara langsung kepada orang yang dicintai.
"Itu lagu keberanian bagaimana kita bilang rasa cinta di depan orang yang kita cintai di depan mata kita," ujar Budi.
KATHMANDU, Nepal — When the dense pillar of smoke from cremations by the Bagmati River was thinning late last week, the bodies were all coming from Gongabu, a common stopover for Nepali migrant workers headed overseas, and they were all of young men.
Hindu custom dictates that funeral pyres should be lighted by the oldest son of the deceased, but these men were too young to have sons, so they were burned by their brothers or fathers. Sukla Lal, a maize farmer, made a 14-hour journey by bus to retrieve the body of his 19-year-old son, who had been on his way to the Persian Gulf to work as a laborer.
“He wanted to live in the countryside, but he was compelled to leave by poverty,” Mr. Lal said, gazing ahead steadily as his son’s remains smoldered. “He told me, ‘You can live on your land, and I will come up with money, and we will have a happy family.’ ”
Weeks will pass before the authorities can give a complete accounting of who died in the April 25 earthquake, but it is already clear that Nepal cannot afford the losses. The countryside was largely stripped of its healthy young men even before the quake, as they migrated in great waves — 1,500 a day by some estimates — to work as laborers in India, Malaysia or one of the gulf nations, leaving many small communities populated only by elderly parents, women and children. Economists say that at some times of the year, one-quarter of Nepal’s population is working outside the country.
