Sajak-sajak INDRA NARA PERSADA, 1981-1990 (5)

/indra nara persada/

MONOLOG PERKAWINAN

: buat istriku

seperti rima ombak tak pernah penuh kita berkayuh

di langit angka matahari menunjuk jam satu

sudah lewat waktu berpacu

diamlah dalam rumahku

kerabat tak lagi pergi pergi

kaudengar ricik pasir sampai di tepi?

gairah tinggal hanya kelip damar, sayang

waktu tiada mencampak luka dan rindu

dan Rindu? inilah nyanyi menjelang Sepi

- bila esok aku mati, tanamkan sepucuk hati

  biar kelak buahnya tiada, bagikan juga buat si bayi

. 1982

MARRIAGE MONOLOGUE

: for my wife

such as rhyme of waves never full we paddle
in the sky the sun digit is pointing at one o’clock
time to race has passed
keep to my home silently

relatives no longer go away
did you hear rushing sand reach for the edge?

desire left behind only the flicker of resin torch, it is a pity
time no threw the wounding and yearning

and deep Longing? this is the song before the Lonely
- if I die tomorrow, planting a piece of heart
  although no fruit one day, share it for the baby

. 1982

KITA BERDUA

kita berdua di sini

ada ketukan

(ketukan itu tiap kali kita bertanya

ketukan itu tiap kali kita saling tak menyapa)

jangan tanya jam

biar kita berikan salam

mari kita berkayuh

(biar tak terasa pendayung berpeluh)

beri tanda pada kata

“ada berita dalam kaca”

. mei 1982/juli 1983

WE’RE BOTH

we're both here
there was a knock

(it beats every time we ask
it beats every time we do not greet each other)

do not ask the hour
let us give greetings

let's paddle
(though not felt rowers sweating)
mark on the word
"there are news in the glass"


. may, 1982/july, 1983

SIAPAKAH

Siapakah yang siap di balik kaca

menenteng selembar kain

membawakan baju padaku?

. 1982

WHO

Who is ready behind the glass
carrying a piece of cloth
brought the clothes to me?


. 1982 /indra nara persada/

TERDEKAP JUGA

Terdekap juga segala rindu

segalanya terasa jenuh, tiada gerak

nyanyianku

Terdekap juga segala ragu

segalanya rasa tak tentu, tiada lagu

lagu sajakku

. 1982

ALSO HUGGED

Also hugged all the longing
everything was saturated, there is no motion
singing of mine

Also hugged all the doubt
everything indeterminate sense, there is no song
singing of my verses


. 1982

NYANYIAN MARI

mari malam mari ke mari

berikan gelap dalam hidupku

mari nelayan mari menari

berikan laut dalam sajakku

. 1982

SONG OF LET’S

let's night let to let
give the dark in my life
let's fishermen let's dance
give the sea in my verses
