Hapuslah air matamu..u..u
Kini ku hanya datang untukmu
Memang hidup kadang susah
Bikin gelisah ah ah ah ah
Genggamlah tanganku
Aku akan selalu
mendukungmu setiap waktu
Curahkan semua kesal amarah lelah
Sampai hilang semua beban itu
Jangan hiraukan mereka yang benci
Memandang penuh iri dan melukai hati
Mungkin mereka ingin sepertimu
Tapi ternyata tak mampu
reff :
Lihatlah ke langit
kelangit penuh warna
(Yakinlah hujan inikan reda)
Mari bernyanyi dididi dadada
(Beragam kisah baru kan ada)
hapuslah air mata kita kan bahagia
(Pasti kita kembali tertawa)
Aku dan kamu kita akan bersama
(Bersama dalam tawa duka)
Mungkin tak setiap hari
Ku kan selalu bisa menemani
Tapi tak perlu kau resah
Semua akan berakhir indah
Percaya padaku
Aku akan selalu
Menangkapmu kala kau tak ada
Sembuhkan semua bimbang
Resah gundah gelisah indah
Sampai lenyap semua beban itu
Back to reff
RAPP :
kebersamaan janganlah pernah usai
sedih atau senang say hello and say good bye
percaya padaku semua akan berlalu
genggam tanganku hapuslah air matamu
berhentilah manyun mukamu jadi culun
mandi atau belum memberikan aku senyum
Nepal’s Young Men, Lost to Migration, Then a Quake

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.
