Anggun - Selamanya/A Rose In The Wind, Sessions @ West 54th

Anggun performing "Selamanya" & "A Rose In The Wind" live at Sessions At West 54th, Sony Music Studio, New York City in August 1998. Enjoy!!!

Lyric - "Selamanya"

Kuharap mentari pagi, tak menyambutku
Kuharap sinar rembulan, tutup mataku... selamanya
Sejak kau pergi, tinggalkan bumi, tinggalku di sini

Turunkan matahari
Usir bintang-bintang
Putarkan utara ke selatan
Untuk apa lagi semuanya

Ambillah jiwa retak ini, ku tak ingin lagi
Putuskan ari-ari bumi, aku ingin pergi
Menuju abadi...selamanya

Lyric - A Rose In The Wind

I was born at daybreak
To the road I did take
Trembling as the ground shakes
Under my feet cracked in a stone heat
Never ending motion
Way across the ocean
Into your devotion
Long have I gone so far from my home

Chorus:
What to do with this love that I'm in
I have given you all of my soul
Flying all my life like a rose in the wind
Tell me why I'm always alone
On my way back home

Indonesian spoken)

Dreaming always begins
Find a door that's opening
Something there is shining
The light in your eyes when you were all mine
All alone as I wake
Moving to a new place
Shivering as I trace
A road of my own cut by a deep cold
(Repeat chorus)

Hang on to me tight and a rose in the wind
Will be wherever you go
On your way back home

(indonesian spoken)

Can I take you back there?
Drifting on the warm air
Say you'll follow anywhere
All of our nights into the jade skies
I'll be true to you
Flying over the moon
Lying in the bamboo
I'll always know the light in the window

(repeat chorus)

Alone

The translation roughly is : I hope the morning sun does not greet me I hope the moon shuts my eyes Forever Since you have gone leaving this earth Leaving me here at this place Bring down the sun Chase away the stars Turn North to South What is this all for again ? Take this fractured soul I do not want it anymore Cut off all the earthly connections (lit: all earthly placentae and umbilical cords ) I want to go Towards the eternal

To the one person who voted this video down, do you even know the meaning of Selamanya? In Bahasa Indonesia (or Bahasa Melayu) the words are: Ku harap mentari pagi tak menyembut - Ku harap sinar rembulan tutup mata ku - Selamanya - Forever Sejak kau pergi tiggalkan bumi- Tinggalkan ku di sini - Turunkan matahari - Usir bintang-bintang - Putarlah utara ke selatan Untuk apa lagi semuanya? Ambillah jiwa retak ini Ku tak ingin lagi Ptutskan ari-ari bumi Aku ingin pergi Menuju abadi

@tomdib

saw her sitting infront of her mirror in her dressing room filled with people, with her long shiny dark hair hanging on her back, a man told me this woman has a powerful voice. I was also amazed when I first heard her song snow in the saharaI even now I can still remember her songs.

Because the majority of Americans (not all) have an anxiety of invasion.

Terima kasih!

I saw Anggun when she opened for Natalie Merchant (1998). I was standing in front of the stage talking to a girl I just met. Everyone talks during opening acts, but when she started "Rose In The Wind", the entire place stopped talking & we were hypnotized by this powerful voice. It was a moment I'll never forget. I'll never forget her staring at me & singing this.

I wish Anggun's newer stuff had more of this experimental, haunting quality. I found out about her while flipping through the channels at midnight and running across Session at W. 54th Street--I was fascinated by her and this fusion-style music. Her voice is totally surprising, and she is stunningly beautiful. Wish she'd revisit this style and come back!
