Gajah by Tulus Lyrics
Indonesian Original
[Verse 1]
Setidaknya punya tujuh puluh tahun
Tak bisa melompat kumahir berenang
Bahagia melihat kawanan betina
Berkumpul bersama sampai ajal
Besar dan berani berperang sendiri
Yang aku hindari hanya semut kecil
Otak ini cerdas kurakit berangka
Wajahmu tak akan pernah aku lupa
[Pre-Chorus]
Waktu kecil dulu mereka menertawakan
Mereka panggilku gajah
(Ku marah) Ku marah
Kini baru ku tahu puji di dalam olokan
(Mereka ingat ku marah)
Jabat tanganku panggil aku gajah
[Chorus]
Kau temanku kau doakan aku
Punya otak cerdas aku harus tangguh
Bila jatuh gajah lain membantu
Tubuhmu di situasi rela jadi tamengku
[Verse 2]
Kecil kita tak tahu apa-apa
Wajar bila terlalu cepat marah
Kecil kita tak tahu apa-apa
Yang terburuk kelak bisa jadi yang terbaik
Yang terburuk kelak bisa jadi yang terbaik
[Chorus]
Kau temanku kau doakan aku
Punya otak cerdas aku harus tangguh
Bila jatuh gajah lain membantu
Tubuhmu di situasi rela jadi tamengku
Kau temanku kau doakan aku
Punya otak cerdas aku harus tangguh
Bila jatuh gajah lain membantu
Tubuhmu disituasi rela jadi tamengku

[Verse 1]
At least I have 70 years
Although I can't jump, I can swim
I'm happy to flirt with female herds
We will be together until we die
Big and brave, I'm fighting my war alone
What I'm afraid of is just small ants
My brain is clever, I assemble and count
Your face, I will never forget it
[Pre-Chorus]
When I was young, they laugh at me
They called me an elephant
(I was angry) I was angry
Now I know there is compliments beneath mockeries
(They remember I was angry)
Shake my hand, call me an elephant
[Chorus]
You are my friend, you pray for me
I have a smart brain, I have to be tough
If I fall, other elephants will help me
You will use your body as my shield during dangers
[Verse 2]
When we were young we don't know anything
It's normal to be angry
When we were young we don't know anything
The worst can soon be the best
The worst can soon be the best
[Chorus]
You are my friend, you pray for me
I have a smart brain, I have to be tough
If I fall, other elephants will help me
You will use your body as my shield during dangers
You are my friend, you pray for me
I have a smart brain, I have to be tough
If I fall, other elephants will help me
You will use your body as my shield during dangers
