Daun musim gugur

Ini lagu sedih. Sungguh. Untuk menghayatinya engkau harus merasakan suasana kehilangan. Kehilangan orang yang engkau cintai. Bayangkanlah dia memandangmu untuk terakhir kalinya, lalu pergi begitu saja. Dan, ketika musim gugur tiba, dedaunan yang jatuh menimpa kaca jendela adalah dukamu....; betapa hari menjadi amat panjang semenjak dia meninggalkanmu, yang tersisa hanya lembut elusan tangannya dan hangat sentuhan bibirnya .....

Ternyata ada beberapa versi Autumn Leaves ini. Dua yang paling aku suka adalah versi Nat King Cole dan versi Nana Mouskouri. Aku catatkan liriknya, dan aku beri link kalau engkau pingin mengunduhnya.

Aku tulis ini dalam catatan, bukan karena Gus Dur atau Frans Seda berpulang. Dua-duanya orang besar, tapi nggak ada hubungannya dengan lagu ini.

Autumn Leaves (Nat King Cole version)

The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

Autumn Leaves (Nana Mouskouri version)

Autumn leaves fall and are swept out of sight
The words that you said have gone too
Autumn leaves fall and are swept out of sight
So are the memories of love that we knew
The wind of forgetfulness blows then
Into the night of regret,
The song you would often sing
Is echoing, echoing yet

The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away, the days grow long
And soon, I'll hear old winter's song
But I'll miss you most of all, my darling,
When autumn leaves start to fall
When autumn leaves start to fall
