Hive Open Mic Week 187 - Perdamaian (cover) by IndonesiaBersatu

Hello Hive OpenMic brothers and sisters and music lovers. We are @indonesiabersatu. A punk rock band from Medan, Indonesia. Today, the weekly Hive #OpenMic event has entered week 187, and this week, we have an interesting theme, A Peaceful Song. This theme was chosen by our friend @usagidee. She is a talented singer in this community.

From this theme, we bring you an old song called Perdamaian, if translated, it means Peace. This song was created by the music group Nasida Ria. They are a legendary kasidah music group from Semarang, Central Java, which has been established since 1975. The group is known for its religious and Islamic songs, but it is also full of social and humanitarian messages. One of Nasida Ria's most famous songs is "Perdamaian", which we perform today.

This song talks about the importance of peace in the midst of diversity. The lyrics describe how the world is beautiful and diverse, but also full of conflict and strife. The message of peace conveyed in this song is still very relevant to the current world situation. Everywhere, we see human tragedies and wars happening. The war in Ukraine, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the humanitarian crisis in Yemen are some examples.

War only brings misery and suffering to everyone. It destroys infrastructure, costs lives, and deeply traumatizes the victims. War also hinders the development and progress of a nation. Therefore, peace is very important. Peace is the key to creating a better, fairer and more prosperous world for everyone.

Lyrics

Perdamaian perdamaian
Perdamaian perdamaian
Perdamaian perdamaian
Perdamaian perdamaian

Banyak yang cinta damai
Tapi perang makin ramai
Banyak yang cinta damai
Tapi perang makin ramai

Bingung bingung ku memikirnya

Wahai kau anak manusia
Ingin aman dan sentosa
Wahai kau anak manusia
Ingin aman dan sentosa

Tapi kau buat senjata
Biaya berjuta-juta
Tapi kau buat senjata
Biaya berjuta-juta

Banyak gedung kau dirikan
Kemudian kau hancurkan
Banyak gedung kau dirikan
Kemudian kau hancurkan

Bingung bingung ku memikirnya
