The Scarecrow ~ Orang - Orangan Sawah - (ENGLISH AND INDONESIA)

in poem •  7 years ago  (edited)

ENGLISH

Once I said to a scarecrow, 'You must be tired of standing in this
lonely field.'

And he said, 'The joy of scaring is a deep and lasting one, and I
never tire of it.'

Said I, after a minute of thought, 'It is true; for I too have
known that joy.'

Said he, 'Only those who are stuffed with straw can know it.'

Then I left him, not knowing whether he had complimented or belittled
me.

A year passed, during which the scarecrow turned philosopher.

And when I passed by him again I saw two crows building a nest
under his hat.

Poem by Kahlil Gibran


INDONESIA

Begitu saya mengatakan kepada orang-orangan sawah, 'Anda pasti bosan berdiri dalam hal ini
Bidang kesepian. '

Dan dia berkata, 'Kegembiraan menakut-nakuti adalah hal yang dalam dan abadi, dan saya
Tidak pernah bosan dengan itu

Kata saya, setelah satu menit berpikir, 'Itu benar; Untuk aku juga punya
Tahu itu sukacita

Katanya, 'Hanya mereka yang dipenuhi jerami bisa mengetahuinya.'

Lalu aku meninggalkannya, tidak tahu apakah dia telah memuji atau meremehkan
saya.

Setahun berlalu, di mana orang-orangan sawah berpaling menjadi filsuf.

Dan ketika saya melewatinya lagi saya melihat dua gagak membangun sarang
Di bawah topinya
