Can You Smile?

아주 오래 전 너를 보았던
그 느낌을 기억해 난
너를 알았던 나를 알았던
그 시절이 생각나
너를 닮고 싶던
어울리고 싶던
간절했던 시간을
난 다시 생각해
다 지나간 한낱 추억 뿐인걸
And Can you smile? smile..
니가 원하잖아
니가 바라잖아
내 맘 만으로는
널 잡을 수가 없는가봐
And Can you smile? smile..
내가 가라잖아
난 괜찮다잖아
마지막 너에게
난 이것 밖엔 못 주나봐
이미 오래 전 내가 받았던
니 마음을 기억해 난
내겐 넘치던 니가 고맙던
그 시절이 생각나
가장 사랑할 때
가장 행복할 때 이별을 마주했어
내겐 참 넘쳐서
미안해서 잡아둘 순 없는걸
And Can you smile? smile..
니가 원하잖아
니가 바라잖아
내 맘 만으로는
널 잡을 수가 없는가봐
And Can you smile? smile..
내가 가라잖아
난 괜찮다잖아
마지막 너에게
난 이것 밖엔 못 주나봐
그래도 그래도 결국 그래도 난
하지만 아마도 결국 그래도 난
그래도 그래도 결국 그래도 난
하지만 결국 그래도 난
[Rap]
그래 빈번해진 니 그 말
답답했어 변해진 내 말투와 행동이
할말 없게 만든다고
화만 나게 돋군다고
쏘아대며 격해진
밤 하늘에
별이 밝혀줬지
달이 비춰줬지
항시 갈 길 갔지
별들과 밤이 온다
다른 별에 가려질 뿐
the moon always stay there
I’ll always be here for you, want you
And Can you smile? smile..
널 잡고 싶지만 
붙잡고 싶지만
내 곁에 있어서 
넌 웃음을 잃어가잖아
And Can you smile? smile..
내가 가라잖아 
난 괜찮다잖아
내 곁을 떠나야
넌 행복할 수 있으니까

Translation

I remember that feeling from a long time ago

When I looked at you

I remembered that time when I knew you

And you knew me

I think about those desperate times

When I wanted to be like you,

To hang out with you

But it’s merely a memory that passed

And, can you smile? You want this,

You hope for this, I can’t seem to have you

With only my heart

And, can you smile? I said to go,

I said that I’m okay

Seems like I can’t give you anything

But this to you in the end

I remember a long time ago

When I received your heart

I think of those times when you were

So loving towards to me, and I was thankful

We came across a farewell,

When we were the most in love

And when we were the happiest

I couldn’t hold you back because you were

So loving towards me, because I was sorry

And, can you smile? You want this,

You hope for this, I can’t seem to have you

With only my heart

And, can you smile? I said to go,

I said that I’m okay

Seems like I can’t give you anything

But this to you in the end

And still, still, in the end, still I…

But probably in the end… I still…

And still, still, in the end, still I…

But in the end, I still…

But I was suffocating from your frequent words

You tell me with rage

That my way of talking and my actions

Made you lose your words

And they made your anger rise

On this violent night

The starts lit up the sky and the moon shone

And you went steadily down your path

The night and moon are coming,

They’re just covered up by stars

The moon will always stay there

I’ll always be here for you, want you

And, can you smile? I want to take

I want to hold it all back

Because you can only be happy

Once you leave my side

And, can you smile? I said to go

I said that I’m okay

It seems like I can give you nothing

But this in the end

Garam

"Kamu adalah garam dunia. Jika garam itu menjadi tawar, dengan apakah ia diasinkan?

Tidak ada lagi gunanya selain dibuang dan diinjak orang.

(Matius 5:13)

Bagi seorang Kristen tentu sudah biasa mendengar istilah 'garam' dan 'terang dunia'. Bahkan mungkin sudah muak, dan merasa kata-kata itu hanya sekedar sesuatu yang klise saja. Itu saya. Saya sudah terlalu bosan dengan ungkapan-ungkapan surgawi yang mustahil dijalankan di dunia yang bejat ini.

Saya ingin membahas tentang garam.

Garam.

Orang Kristen itu idealnya seperti garam. Menunjukkan identitasnya sebagai kristal putih bersih. Entahkah dia di taruh di atas api. Entahkah dia dimasukkan ke dalam plastik murahan. Entahkah dia di dalam toples yang sudah bulukan... Dia tetap menunjukkan identitasnya sebagai sesuatu yang bersih.

Dan bagaimana jika dia dimasukkan ke dalam masakan? Sayur asem barang kali? Ikan barang kali? Tentu masakan akan menjadi asin karenanya.

Garam itu tercampur dengan masakan yang dia masuki. Kali ini dia tidak terlihat lagi, tetapi berbaur dengan makanan itu. Namun identitasnya tetap nyata: ASIN.

Saya pernah mendengar, di dunia ini tidak ada masakan yang dibuat tanpa garam. Kalau pun ada, masakan itu sama sekali tidak sempurna rasanya.

Bahkan, untuk membuat suatu bubur manis, yang notabene melulu gula, garam tetap dibutuhkan di sana. Katanya kalau tanpa garam, manisnya terasa hambar.

Yah. Garam.
