HANYA BILA AKU SEORANG IBU
waktu Kau menitipkan mereka di rahimku,
aku pikir aku akan baik-baik saja
waktu Kau ukir bentuk dan rupa mereka,
kupikir aku akan baik-baik saja
waktu Kau sakitkan lahir mereka,
kupikir aku akan baik-baik saja
waktu Kau wajibkan susuku pada mereka,
kupikir aku akan baik-baik saja
waktu Kau desahkan kata pertama 'mama' pada lidah mereka,
kupikir aku akan baik-baik saja
waktu Kau pakaikan gembira luar biasa melihat langkah pertama mereka,
kupikir aku akan baik-baik saja
waktu Kau membuatku tetap terjaga pada malam-malam mereka demam,
kupikir aku akan baik-baik saja
waktu Kau mengantarku temani hari sekolah pertama mereka,
kupikir aku akan baik-baik saja
waktu Kau membisakan mereka bertanya dan menjawab tentang hidup,
kupikir aku akan baik-baik saja
waktu Kau membuat mereka berbeda sifat,
kupikir aku akan baik-baik saja
waktu Kau sadarkanku bahwa mereka perempuan,
kupikir aku akan baik-baik saja
waktu Kau minta waktuku untuk lembar rupiah bagi jajan mereka,
kupikir aku akan baik-baik saja
waktu Kau memerihkanku ketika mengawal hari mereka lewat telepon kantor,
kupikir aku akan-baik-baik saja
waktu Kau memintaku menjaga mereka sebagai titipanMu,
kupikir aku akan baik-baik saja
waktu Kau mengikatku dengan rasa bahagia berada dekat mereka,
kupikir aku akan baik-baik saja
waktu Kau mengharu biru sembabkan perasaanku ketika mereka dalam pelukku,
kupikir aku akan baik-baik saja
menghenyak juga menghentak saat aku tahu,
semua itu Kau ijinkan aku nikmati,
hanya bila aku seorang ibu.

BUT I AM A MOTHER
as you placed them in my womb,
i thought i would be fine
as you sculpted their bodies and faces,
i thought i would be fine
as you bourne pain to deliver them,
i thought i would be fine
as you obliged my breast milk for them,
i thought i would be fine
as you gust their tongue for their first word 'mother',
i thought i would be fine
as you slipped on ecstasy seeing their first steps,
i thought i would be fine
as you kept me awake in the middle of the nights of their high fever,
i thought i would be fine
as you escort me when i took them to their first day of school,
i thought i would be fine
as you let them query about life,
i thought i would be fine
as you built their differences,
i thought i would be fine
as you awaken me of their feminine,
i thought i would be fine
as you demanded my time for their pocket money,
i thought i would be fine
as you impaired me when i start their days by work phone conversation,
i thought i would be fine
as you asked me to look after them as your consignment,
i thought i would be fine
as you reminded me of the happiness being near them,
i thought i would be fine
as you touched my feelings when i have them in my arms,
i thought i would be fine
...................
suddenly i am awaken for those YOU permit me to take pleasure in,
but i am a mother
