Phenomenal Woman ~ Wanita Fenomenal - [Poem by Maya Angelou]

in poetry •  7 years ago 


Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size But when I start to tell them, They think I'm telling lies. I say, It's in the reach of my arms The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

BAHASA INDONESIA


Wanita cantik bertanya-tanya di mana rahasiaku berada. Saya tidak lucu atau dibangun sesuai dengan ukuran model busana Tapi ketika saya mulai memberitahu mereka, Mereka mengira aku berbohong. Saya katakan, Ini ada di jangkauan lenganku Rentang pinggul saya, Langkah langkah saya, Curl bibirku Saya seorang wanita Fenomenally Wanita fenomenal, Itu aku

Aku masuk ke sebuah ruangan
Sama dinginnya denganmu,
Dan untuk seorang pria,
Teman-temanya berdiri atau
Jatuh berlutut.
Lalu mereka berkerumun di sekitarku,
Sarang lebah madu.
Saya katakan,
Ini adalah api di mataku,
Dan kilat gigi saya,
Ayunan di pinggangku,
Dan sukacita di kakiku.
Saya seorang wanita
Fenomenally
Wanita fenomenal,
Itu aku

Pria sendiri bertanya-tanya
Apa yang mereka lihat di dalam diriku
Mereka mencoba begitu banyak
Tapi mereka tidak bisa menyentuh
Misteri batinku
Saat saya mencoba menunjukkannya
Mereka bilang mereka masih belum bisa melihat.
Saya katakan,
Ada di lengkungan punggungku,
Sinar matahari senyumku,
Perjalanan payudaraku,
Anugerah gayaku.
Saya seorang wanita

Fenomenally
Wanita fenomenal,
Itu aku

Sekarang kamu mengerti
Hanya kenapa kepalaku tidak membungkuk.
Saya tidak berteriak atau melompat-lompat
Atau harus bicara keras banget.
Bila Anda melihat saya lewat
Itu harus membuatmu bangga.
Saya katakan,
Ada di klik tumit saya,
Lekuk rambutku,
Telapak tanganku,
Kebutuhan perawatan saya,
Karena aku wanita
Fenomenally
Wanita fenomenal,
Itu aku.
