Bila Salju Turun pada Musim Semi


Salju turun pada musim dingin (winter)... ya biasa!! (Biasa juga kalau kita melihat hamparan salju yang tertimbun di mana-mana, di daerah dengan 4 musim...), seperti yang pernah saya lihat di Puncak Pilatus, Swiss.

Yang engga biasa adalah, salju turun pada musim semi! Kacaunya gejala alam sekarang ini terjadi di semua belahan dunia.

Yang istimewa adalah, saya belum pernah melihat bagaimana suasana ketika salju SEDANG turun (hujan salju)!! Dan tidak disangka, kedatangan kami ke Denver rupanya peluang bagi kami untuk menikmati peristiwa itu.

Nah, seperti "Blessing in Disguise", ketika saya dan keluarga tiba di Denver, Colorado, sesuai jadwal, yaitu hari Rabu tanggal 15 April 2009 waktu Denver, dengan dijemput ponakan tercinta: Ika, saat kami sudah merencanakan pergi di akhir minggu mengunjungi Colorado Springs dan Aspen, yaitu dua tempat rekreasi yang sangat direkomendasikan oleh mamanya Ika serta teman-teman e-mail yang sudah berkunjung ke sana, ternyata ... ramalan cuaca bilang bahwa hari Jumat akan turun salju. Sudah pasti kami agak kecewa karena turunnya salju akan membuat jalan licin, dan pemandangan tidak lagi seindah yang seharusnya bisa kita nikmati... Tentu saja kita harus mengutamakan keselamatan diri! Artinya: rencana jadi batal deh!

Ada pepatah Inggris yang mengatakan: "Behind every cloud there is always a silver lining". Dari pepatah itulah kita tahu bahwa setiap peristiwa yang tidak menyenangkan atau tidak sesuai dengan harapan kita, selalu saja ada sesuatu yang bisa kita pelajari atau bahkan kita nikmati. Jadi tidak selalu peristiwa yang tidak menyenangkan itu tidak bisa memberikan kita sesuatu yang baik.

Ketika langit masih bernuansa hitam keabu-abuan dengan sedikit warna oranye di balik horizon pagi hari Jumat itu, dan saya mulai masak air sambil mencuci piring/gelas, melalui kaca ruang makan di rumah Ika tiba-tiba saja saya melihat sesuatu turun seperti hujan tanpa menimbulkan suara apapun. Saya perhatikan, "tetesan hujan" itu sepertinya ringan sekali, lembut, dan turun tidak sejajar satu sama lain. Kelihatannya seperti "acak-acakan" terbawa angin sepoi... Saya segera sadar, itulah salju yang sedang turun. Saya melihat di taman bermain anak-anak di belakang rumah, sebagian hamparan rumput sudah mulai berwarna putih. Salju tipis sudah mulai menutupinya.

Segera saya ambil kamera dan videocam untuk mengabadikan peristiwa yang belum pernah saya lihat ini! Norak banget ya? Hehehe!


Bagian belakang rumah Ika. I wonder, pagarnya pakai kayu apa ya, kok sudah bertahun-tahun kena 4 musim, engga juga lapuk?



Segera saya teringat masa kecil dulu ketika masih bersekolah di SD Mardi Yuana, Serang, sekitar tahun-tahun ke 3 atau 4. Beberapa kali saya mendapat nilai tertinggi untuk ulangan mata pelajaran Agama Katholik, dan saya "berhak" mendapatkan gambar-gambar indah dari guru, yang bernuansa Katholik. Di antaranya adalah gambar-gambar pohon pinus dengan salju yang melekat pada bagian-bagian atas daunnya. Gambar-gambar itu tentu saja membuat saya selalu kagum... "Ini toh yang disebut salju? Sepertinya lembut banget ya, jangan-jangan terasa manis pula seperti buttercream yang biasa menghiasi kue tart ulangtahun saya!"


Begitulah kampungannya anak kampung ini!

Dan ternyata memang kelihatan lembut sekali butiran-butiran salju yang kemudian menumpuk di setiap apapun yang ada di bumi. Peristiwa yang sudah sangat biasa ini bagi orang yang tinggal di daerah 4 musim, adalah peristiwa pertama (dan mungkin hanya sekali dalam hidup saya) yang sanggup memukau saya!


Everything grey, memang benar! Tapi kelihatan indah lho!


Ika sudah mempersiapkan heater sejak tadi malam sehingga udara di dalam rumah tidak terasa terlalu dingin dengan perubahan cuaca yang begitu drastis.

Tidak menyangka, hujan salju terus menerus sehingga semakin tebal saja salju yang menumpuk di luar, bahkan di atap-atap rumah dan mobil.


Serunya salju kalau lagi menerpa apa saja yang ada di bumi!

Mobil Ika berselimut salju


Karena gak bisa kemana-mana, sambil nunggu salju mencair, ya udah di rumah aja... Bengong...

hehehe!


Main internet sambil "deprok" di lantai, asyik juga !


Dingin juga rasanya, ya, Ka?



Salju yang menumpuk berbahaya dan menyulitkan anak-anak kecil, orang yang tetap ingin menjalankan aktifitas olahraganya (jogging), serta para pemilik anjing yang harus "walk the dog" di sekitar tempat tinggalnya. Maka sudah menjadi keharusan pemilik real estate untuk memenuhi tugas membersihkan, setidaknya, path atau jalan yang akan dilalui penduduknya dengan menggunakan mesin seperti yang terlihat di gambar atas.



Hari ke 3, sebagian salju yang menumpuk sudah disisihkan ke tepi tetapi yang berada di atas mobil dibiarkan mencair sendiri, dan yang menumpuk di tubuh mobil tentu saja menjadi tugas pemilik mobil sendirilah untuk membersihkannya. Kadang saya lihat mobil-mobil itu hanya dibersihkan bagian kacanya saja. Jadi yang terpaksa harus keluar rumah untuk belanja atau ke kantor, misalnya, membiarkan tumpukan di atas mobil berjalan bersama mobilnya! Hehehe...





Save Your Kisses







Though it hurts to go away
It's impossible to stay
But there's one thing I must say before I go
I love You --you know
I'll be thinking of You in most everything I do
Now the time is moving on
And I really should be gone
But You keep me hanging on for one more smile
I love You --all the while
With your cute little way
Will You promise that you'll save your

Kisses for me
Save all your kisses for me
Bye bye baby, bye bye
Don't cry honey don't cry
Gonna walk out the door
But I'll soon be back for more

Kisses for me
Save all your kisses for me
So long honey so long
Hang on, baby, hang on
Don't You dare me to stay
Cause You know I'll have to say

That I've got to work each day
And that's why I go away
But I count the seconds till I'm home with You
I love You --it's true
You're so cute honey -gee
Won't You save them up for me -your

Kisses for me
Save all your kisses for me
Bye bye baby bye bye
Don't cry honey don't cry
Gonna walk out the door
But I'll soon be back for more

Kisses for me
Save all your kisses for me
So long honey so long
Hang on baby hang on
Don't you dare me to stay
Cause you know
You've got to save your

Kisses for me
Save all your kisses for me
Bye bye baby bye bye
Don't cry honey don't cry
Won't You save them for me
Even though you're only three...

Sweet Dreams


In my waking dreams I often see,
a dashing young boy leaning by a tree.

Playing sad songs I'd like to hear.
He sings for no one but me.

He croons it with all his tender might
Doleful guitar and a faltering voice
Cherished, subdued am I,
how I wish it isn't a dream


Ah....
will someone bring my dream to reality.

Ah....
will this not be just another whimsical moment

Blossoms in the night...
fizzles out at dawn.


Spoken:
(Fleeting dreams are what I have.

Night after night, they feed my restless mind.
That funny, but tender feeling grows and grows
in gardens of darkness.

Who'll pick the rustling leaves
that shatter the silence of night
and dreams of mine)


Last night I dreamt my dream again.
My black-haired sweet heart by the tree.
Wooing, songs a-cooing,
my heart pounded like a drum


Now in my sweet dreams I live my life.
No more sorrow and no more sigh.
In my sleeping moments,
my heart booms with ecstasy


Ah.........
will someone bring my dream to reality.

Ah.........
will this not be just another whimsical moment

A dream's but a dream
It ends by the morn
Blossoms in the night,
fizzles out at dawn.

The Prayer






I pray you'll be our eyes

And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don't know

Let this be our prayer
As we go our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe
La luce che to dai

I pray we'll find your light
Nel cuore restero
And hold it in our hearts
A ricordarchi che
When stars go out each night
L'eterna stella sei
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer
Quanta fede c�e
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace

Give us faith so we'll be safe.
Sognamo un mondo senza piu violenza

Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace e di fraternita

La forza che ci dai
We ask that life be kind
E�il desiderio che
And watch us from above
Ognuno trovi amore
We hope each soul will find
Intorno e dentro a se
Another soul to love

Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Just like every child

Needs to find a place,
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
E la fede che
Hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salvera

Nobody's Child






As I was slowly passing
an orphan's home one day.

And stopped there for a moment
just to watch the children play.

Alone a boy was standing
and when I asked him why

he turned with eyes that could not see
and he began to cry.


R E F R A I N :

I'm nobody's child
I'm nobody's child
I'm like a flower just growing wild.
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile
nobody wants me
I'm nobody's child.

People come for children
and take them for their own.

But they all seem to pass me by
and I am left alone.

I know they'd like to take me
but when they see I'm blind

they always take some other child
and I am left behind.


R E F R A I N :

I'm nobody's child
I'm nobody's child
I'm like a flower just growing wild.
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile
nobody wants me
I'm nobody's child.

No mommy's arms to hold me
or soothe me when I cry.

Sometimes it gets so lonely
I wish that I could die.

I'd walk the streets of heaven
where all the blind can see.

And just like all the other kids
there'd be a home for me.


R E F R A I N :

I'm nobody's child
I'm nobody's child
I'm like a flower just growing wild.
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile
nobody wants me
I'm nobody's child.

Goodbye



Mary Hopkins


Please don't wake me up too late
tomorrow comes

And I can not be late
Late today when it becomes tomorrow
I will
leave to go a-way

Goodbye...Goodbye...
Goodbye, Goodbye, my love, Goodbye

Songs that lingered on my lips excite me now
And linger on my mind
Leave your flowers at my door
I'll leave them for

The one who waits behind

Goodbye...Goodbye...
Goodbye, Goodbye, my love, Goodbye

Far away my lover sings a lonely song
And calls me to his side
When a song of lonely love invites me on
I must go to his side

Goodbye...Goodbye...
Goodbye, Goodbye, my love, Goodbye

Dancing Queen






Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music,
getting in the swing
You come in to look for a king

Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the musics high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the dancing queen,
young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat
from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive,
having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene,
dig in the dancing queen

You're a teaser, you turn them on
Leave them burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the dancing queen,
young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat
from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive,
having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene,
dig in the dancing queen

The Carnival is Over







Say goodbye my own true lover
As we sing a lovers song
How it breaks my heart to leave you
Now the carnival is gone

High above the dawn is waiting
And my tears are falling rain
For the carnival is over
We may never meet again

Like a drum my heart was beating
And your kiss was sweet as wine
But the joys of love
are fleeting

For Pierrot and Columbine

Now the harbour light is calling
This will be our last goodbye
Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die

Like a drum my heart was beating
And your kiss was sweet as wine
But the joys of love are fleeting
For Pierrot and Columbine

Now the harbour light is calling
This will be our last goodbye
Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die
Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die

Time to Say Godbye



Sarah Brightman & Andrea Bocceli


Sarah:
Quando sono sola
sogno all'orizzonte
e mancan le parole,
si lo so che non c'è luce
in una stanza quando manca il sole,
se non ci sei tu con me, con me.
Su le finestre
mostra a tutti il mio cuore
che hai accesso,
chiudi dentro me
la luce che
hai incontrato per strada.

Time to say goodbye. -- Con te partirò.
Paesi che non ho mai
veduto e vissuto con te,
adesso sì li vivrò.
Con te partirò
su navi per mari
che, io lo so,
no, no, non esistono più,
it's time to say goodbye. -- con te io li vivrò.

Andrea:
Quando sei lontana
sogno all'orizzonte
e mancan le parole,
e io si lo so
che sei con me, con me,
tu mia luna tu sei qui con me,
mio sole tu sei qui con me,
con me, con me, con me.

Time to say goodbye. -- Con te partirò.
Paesi che non ho mai
veduto e vissuto con te,
adesso sì li vivrò.
Con te partirò
su navi per mari
che, io lo so,
no, no, non esistono più,

Both:
con te io li rivivrò.
Con te partirò
su navi per mari
che, io lo so,
no, no, non esistono più,
con te io li rivivrò.
Con te partirò

Io con te.

Goodbye, Jimmy, Goodbye





CHORUS

Goodbye, Jimmy, goodbye

Goodbye, Jimmy, goodbye
I'll see you again but I don't know when
Goodbye, Jimmy, goodbye

Wind is a-blowin', rain starts to fall
Train is a-tootin' its long, lonesome call
Wheels are clickin' their way down the track
Countin' the days till he's comin' back

CHORUS

When he has traveled the land and the sea
He'll stop his wand'rin' and come home to me
Give me a kiss for each tear and each sigh
Till then my Jimmy, my Jimmy, goodbye

CHORUS

Goodbye Jimmy goodbye

Love is a Many-splendored Thing






Love is a many-splendored thing,
It's the April rose
that only grows in the early spring,
Love is nature's way of giving
a reason to be living,
The golden crown that makes a man a king.

Once on a high and windy hill,
In the morning mist
two lovers kissed and the world stood still,
Then your fingers touched my silent heart
and taught it how to sing,
Yes, true love's a many-splendored thing.

Walk Away





Walk away, please go
Before you throw your life away
A life that I could share for just a day
We should have met some years ago
For your sake I say
Walk away, just go.

Walk away, and live
A life that's full
With no regret
Don't look back at me
Just try to forget
Why build a dream that cannot come true
So be strong, reach the stars now
Walk away, walk on.

If I heard your voice
I'd beg you to stay
So don't say a word
Just run, run away.

Goodbye my love
My tears will fall
Now that you've gone
I can't help but cry
But I must go on
I'm sad that I after searching so long
Knew, I loved you, but I told you
Walk away, walk on, walk on

The Wonder of You






When no one else can understand me
When everything I do is wrong
You give me hope and consolation
You give me strength to carry on

And you're always there to lend a hand
In everything I do
That's the wonder
The wonder of you

And when you smile the world is brighter
You touch my hand and I'm a king
Your kiss to me is worth a fortune
Your love for me is everything

I guess I'll never know the reason why
You love me like you do
That's the wonder
The wonder of you

Paper Roses





I realized the way your eyes deceived me
with tender looks that I mistook for love
So take away the flowers that you gave me
And send the kind that you remind me of

Paper Roses
Paper Roses
Oh how real those roses seem to be
But they're only imitation,
Like you imitation love for me

I thought that you would be a perfect lover
You seemed so full of sweetness at the start
But like a big red rose that's made of paper
There isn't any sweetness in your heart

Paper Roses
Paper Roses
Oh how real those roses seem to be
But they're only imitation like you imitation love for me

Cherry Red





Where are you
Cherry red , sweeter than the honeycomb
Sweeter still when we're alone
Cherry red, my cherry red

Turquoise green , greener than the deeper sea
Greener still when she's with me
Cherry red , my cherry red

I wonder why (wonder why)
The stars that night shine big and bright for me
I wonder why (wonder why)
She's true to me the way that she will always be

Cherry red , sweeter than the honeycomb
Sweeter still when we're alone
Cherry red , my cherry red

(break)

I wonder why (wonder why)
The stars that night shine big and bright for me
I wonder why (wonder why)
She's true to me the way that she will always be

Cherry red , sweeter than the honeycomb
Sweeter still when we're alone
Cherry red, my cherry red

G i r l






Is there anybody going to listen to my story
All about the girl who came to stay?
She's the kind of girl you want so much
It makes you sorry
Still you don't regret a single day.
Ah girl! ..Girl Girl!

When I think of all the times I've tried so hard to leave her
She will turn to me and start to cry;
And she promises the earth to me
And I believe her
After all this time I don't know why.
Ah, girl!..Girl Girl!

She's the kind of girl who puts you down
When friends are there, you feel a fool.
When you say she's looking good
She acts as if it's understood.
She's cool, ooh, ooh, ooh,
Girl! ..Girl Girl!

Was she told when she was young that pain
Would lead to pleasure?
Did she understand it when they said
That a man must break his back to earn
His day of leisure?
Will she still believe it when he's dead?
Ah girl! Girl.... Girl

Octopus' Garden



I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his octopus' garden in the shade

I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus' garden with me
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade.

We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
Resting our head on the sea bed
In an octopus' garden near a cave

We would sing and dance around
because we know we can't be found
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade

We would shout and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves
(Lies beneath the ocean waves)
Oh what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe
(Happy and they're safe)

We would be so happy you and me
No one there to tell us what to do
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden with you.

And I Love You So






And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived 'til now
I tell them I don't know

I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand

And yes I know, how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me

And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do

The book of life is brief
And once a page is read
All but life is dead
That is my belief

And yes I know, how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
