Hello, my brothers and sisters in the Hive community. We are “Indonesia Bersatu”, a band from Medan, Indonesia. Back to the weekly #openmic event. But today, two of our band members couldn't attend this live music because they were busy working, so we just did it alone with makeshift musical instruments. This week's theme is “This Little Town”, so we brought you a cover of the song called “Bukan Pahlawan” (Not Hero) which was popularized by the Balinese band “Superman is Dead”. This band consists of three young people from Bali, namely: Bobby Kool as guitarist and vocalist, Eka Rock as bassist, and Jerinx as a drummer.
This song tells about our experience when we were in a small town in Indonesia. There we found the nightlife that was so heartbreaking. Many women are forced to sell themselves for economic reasons, many unemployed men steal at the homes of rich people because they are forced to steal, and small children who should go to school and play are forced to become beggars to buy bread. We even met many drug dealers in the small towns we had visited. The lyrics of this song are;
“Di sudut kota ini melangkah sepi
Dihantui mimpi abadi
Tangis dan air mata di pinggir jalan
Kapankah ini 'kan berakhir?
Pemabuk di pelukan pelacur jalanan
Bermahkotakan duri tajam
Tutup matamu kawan besarkan hati
Surga dan neraka menanti
Aku bukan pahlawan berparas tampan
Sayap-sayap pupus terbakar
Salah-benar semua pernah kulakukan
Angkat gelas, kita bersulang!
Pertarungan abadi setan malaikat
Luluh-lantak darah mewangi
Berhamburan sejuta napas terakhir
Dunia berhenti tertawa”
Lyrics in English translation:
"In this corner of the city walking lonely
Haunted by eternal dreams
Tears and tears on the side of the road
When will this end?
Drunk in the arms of a street prostitute
Crowned with sharp thorns
Close your eyes, my friend, cheer up
Heaven and hell await
I'm not a handsome hero
The wings are lost on fire
I've done everything wrong
Raise a glass, and we toast!
Angel demon eternal battle
Smelling blood smells good
Scattered the last million breaths
The world stops laughing"
Below is the official video clip of their band;
Thank you so much for being willing to watch and listen to the music we play. Greetings of brotherhood and greetings of peace to all of us.
