Descripción de Great Indonesian Music: Dewa19 - Cukup Siti Nurbaya:

This single is from the album released in 1995 titled, Terbaik Terbaik (English: The Best The Best). The title of the song in English, "Enough, Siti Nurbaya". Siti Nurbaya is a literary character in one of the golden piece of Indonesian literature, story of a woman who was given away in an arranged marriage despites her love for another, and how she fought and dealt with her family and the prevailing norm at the time. An eastern Romeo & Juliet, if you wil, a tale of forbidden love, rebelliousness of younger generation, that kinda thing. Honestly, I haven't read the book until finished, hehe. The lyrics of the song in both Indonesian and its English translation are supplied below. Lirik: Oh...masih ada Belenggu ruang cinta Meresap kini di dinding zaman Mencoba - coba kikis naluri Agitasi murahan yang ada lagi Mohon acuhkan Palingkan muka Oh...memang dunia Buramkan satu logika Seolah - olah hidup kita ini Hanya ternilai sebatas rupiah Dengarkan manusia yang terasah falsafah Sesaat katanya itu bukan dogma Katakan!! Pada Mama Cinta bukan hanya harta dan tahta Pastikan!! Pada semua Hanya cinta yang sejukkan dunia Bukan itu Mama Bukan itu Papa Oh.. cukup Siti Nurbaya Yang mengalami Pahitnya dunia Hidupku kamu dan mereka semua Takkan ada yang bisa memaksakan jalan Hidup yang kan tertempuh Lyrics (Translation): Oh...There are still Shackles in the room of Love That now seeps in the walls of ages Trying to chip away instincts Cheap agitation exists once more Please ignore Look away Oh...the world blurs the one Logic As if our life Is valued in terms of currency Listen to the man, whose philosophy is tested Who at once said, that wasn't the right dogma Tell it!!! To Mother Love is not possession and position Make sure!!! For everyone Only love soothes the world Isn't it right, Mother Isn't it true, Father. Oh...enough Siti Nurbaya who had experienced The world's bitterness My life, yours, and theirs, all There's nobody that can force the way To life that one has to live
