Lirikan lalu

Dulu...

Dulu kau, dulu aku
Sekarang I and you.

Dulu pantang bertegur sapa,
Pasti ada yang tak kena,
Pasti ada yang nak dikata;
Tapi sekarang pantang berdepa,
Terus ditanya tadi ke mana?
Manis pula kata-kata.

Dulu hujahnya tajam,
sindirannya sentiasa menikam;
Tapi sekarang lain ragam,
Rupanya manja dalam diam.

Yang dulu kini ditinggalkan,
yang sekarang didahulukan,
Larian masa takkan dapat diulang;
Pikir pula ke depan-depan,
apa guna ditenung mendung awan,
Tarian hujan takkan dapat dihalang.

Lalu...
Dulu benci dan luat,
kini benci semakin kuat.

If I were a water spider,
I'd skimp over the ripple, fleet over the water,
And when you flow
is where the spider will go.

If I were a doctor, a would-be doctor
Wouldn't life be so much easier,
The pills for health, the title for your hands
Blessings to their daughters, the parents would lend.

But if are ifs and I am neither,
Only a lad with dreams and half-sided grin,
If sulks and smiles, you never tire
Then let there be no doctor, nor spider,
only a lad with a grin.
