Seasons of my life

Dari September 2005
Aku perhati dari sehari ke sehari
Terimakasih Ya-Robbi di atas kurniaMu ini
Sebuah jendela
dengannya ku lihat dunia
Di bumi asing
musafir aku di sini

September 2005:
Each day I look out from my window.
Thank you Lord for this gift,
an opening through which I see the world.
In this foreign land I am a wanderer.

Suatu jendela
buat ku intai wajah-wajah
warna-warni ciptaanMu Ilahi

A window through which I peep the colors of your Face.

Panorama langit Stirling
di lorong Allanvale
Dari jendelaku
bagai bingkai
merakam waktu berlalu

The panoramic skies of Stirling
on Allanvale,
my window frames the passing of time.

Senja hari ini
jingga dan biru
Membongkar cerita musim nan baru

The sunset hues were orange and blue.
Unveiling a new season of clues.

Biarpun musim bergilir
air sungai Allan tetap saja mengalir
walau aur di tebing
kaku membeku
Seasons changed,
the waters of Allan flows though the banks froze.

Sabar pada peredaran waktu.
Itulah hikmah buat renunganku

To be patient with the changing times,
it's one lesson I learned.

Terimakasih Ya-Robbi
kerana mengizinkan aku
berkongsi kegembiraan itik berenang girang
setenang air sungai
buatku leka keriangan

Thank you Lord,
for I share the joy of ducklings swimming gayfully.

The tranquil still waters made me cheery.

Terimakasih Ya-Robbi
kerana mengizinkan aku merasai
kedamaian burung-burung di langit
terbang bebas mencelah awan
menjadi teman setia sepasang mata dari jendela

Thank you O Lord,
for letting me feel the peacefulness of birds flying freely.

They are companions to these lonely eyes
looking through the glass.

Memberi senyuman
dalam meyusur arus kehidupan
yang ada kalanya tenang…

Making me smile as I float in this life which could at times be calm...

Ada kalanya hujan…
namun tetap ianya mejadi peneman
pada sebuah hati yang sendirian
menggapai harapan babak kehidupan baru.

Though it rains sometimes,
I feel like I have a friend as I embrace new chapters of a lifetime.

Suram malam bukanlah satu pengakhiran…

The gloomy dark night is not an end...

Bahkan ia mengiring
sinar permulaan sebuah impian…

It is a new beginning of a new dream...

Mengusir awan pilu bersama kedukaan lalu

Chasing away the sad clouds of yesterday.

Hidup di dunia ini
umpama berteduh sebentar di bawah pohon
kemudian harus terus berjalan
mendamba Kasih paling setia
DIA

Life is like stopping momentarily under the shade of a tree,
one must continue walking...longing for Love, He.
