JBF emang pas buat lagu ini. I do not own this pic. |
Haloooo para pembaca sekalian. Karena terjemahan sudah sering aku lakukan. Kali ini aku mau nyobain hal baru, yakni menginterpretasi sebuah lagu milik Ariana Grande yang berjudul "Honeymoon Avenue" . Nggak tahu kenapa lagu ini mengena banget pas aku pertama kali dengernya. Lagu Honeymoon Avenue ini merupakan lagu pertama yang ada di album debutnya Ariana yang berjudul Yours Truly. Nah langsung aja deh kita mulai interpretasi lagu ini menurut sudut pandang aku:
1. Honeymoon Avenue ini cukup unik karena mengkaitkan sebuah mobil yang sedang melaju dengan sebuah hubungan sepasang kekasih. Kenapa aku bilang mobil? Soalnya ada beberapa kata yang menunjukkan bahwa setting lagu ini di sebuah mobil sepertI: rear view mirror (kaca spion), bumper-to-bumper traffic (kemacetan), lane (jalan sempit), stop sign (rambu berhenti), dsb.
2. Enam lirik pertama menunjukkan bahwa si ceweknya (karena yang nyanyi cewek, jadi aku ambil kesimpulan bahwa itu adalah curhatan si cewek tentang cowoknya) melihat ke kaca spion mobil dan dia merasa bahwa jalan yang ada di belakang mereka itu lebih masuk akal dibandingkan jalan yang dia lihat di depan. Aku mengkaitkannya dengan hubungan yang si cewek rasakan sama cowoknya. Bahwa cewek itu pengen balik lagi kayak dulu (mungkin lebih romantis). Lalu lirik selanjutnya adalah pernyataan bahwa ceweknya sudah siap untuk kembali seperti hubungan mereka yang dulu daripada terus maju ke depan tapi akhirnya harus berpisah sama cowoknya (ditunjukkan dari kalimat I'm ready to make that turn, ..crash and burn, ..could be the death of us...
3. Lalu ceweknya mengungkapkan bahwa cowoknya itu terbiasa berkendara di tengah derasnya hujan (setau aku, nyetir ditengah hujan deras tuh susah banget, apalagi kalau malam, bisa bahaya) dan dia bersikukuh nggak akan mengubah arah mobilnya dan mereka terjebak di jalanan sempit yang sering mereka lalui dan mereka berdua mengambil rute yang salah. Dikaitkan dengan hubungan, menurutku maksudnya adalah cowoknya tetap percaya bahwa mereka bisa melalui cobaan dalam hubungan mereka. Tapi ceweknya ngerasa bahwa mereka terjebak di dalam hubungan yang membosankan dan salah mengambil keputusan. Simpelnya sih ceweknya milih kayak dulu lagi, tapi cowoknya nggak mau. Terus ceweknya ngerasa frustasi karena nggak bisa meyakinkan cowoknya untuk ngikutin keinginan dia.
4. Ada kalimat yang unik lagi nih, "What happened to the butterflies?". Kita semua tahu kan suka ada istilah "butterflies in my stomach". Istilah ini sering dipakai dalam suatu keadaan dimana kita merasa bahagia ketika kita melihat orang yang kita sukai/cintai itu balik menatap kita, memuji kita, atau ngajak kita bicara. Maksud dari kalimat itu adalah ceweknya mulai merasakan bahwa dia nggak lagi ngerasain ada perasaan bahagia itu lagi saat bareng ama cowoknya (ditunjukan dari kalimat "Guess they encountered that stop sign"). Selanjutnya, di kalimat "And my heart is at a yellow light, a yellow light.", kalian pasti tahu kan kalau lampu lalu lintas berkedip warna kuning itu maknanya hati-hati? Begitu juga dengan perasaan cinta yang cewek ini punya untuk kekasihnya itu, sudah berada di level hati-hati atau juga nyaris berhenti! Cowoknya berusaha buat mengikuti keinginan ceweknya (ditunjukkan dari kalimat "Well, that's when we start turning around.. You're saying, "Baby, don't worry,"). Namun mereka masih saja berjalan di jalan yang salah.
5. Terakhir nihh di kalimat:
They say only fools fall in love
Well, they must've been talking about us
And sometimes I feel like I've been here before
I could be wrong, but I know I'm rightWe gon' be lost if we continue to fightHoney I know, yeah,We can find our way home
Ceweknya ngasih pernyataan bahwa banyak orang bilang kalau cuma orang bodoh yang jatuh cinta (yang aku alamin sih jadi agak sembrono ketika aku jatuh cinta, kalau ada masalah lebih mendahulukan perasaan daripada memikirkan solusinya pake logika), dia ngerasa kalau dia tuh termasuk kedalam lingkaran "orang bodoh" itu dan dia pun merasa bahwa dia sering banget ada di posisi itu. Dia berharap bahwa masalah yang mereka hadapi itu bisa dibicarakan dengan baik-baik tanpa harus terus menerus bertengkar dan dia percaya bahwa mereka bisa mendapatkan solusinya bersama-sama.
Ada juga nih pernyataan official dari Ariana Grande tentang konsep lagu ini (klik sini). Oya, buat yang penasaran sama lirik lagunya aku kasih nih di bawah dan link youtube lagunya:
HONEYMOON AVENUE
BY:
ARIANA GRANDE
I looked in my rear view mirror and
It seemed to make a lot more sense
Than what I see ahead of us, ahead of us, yeah.
I'm ready to make that turn
Before we both crash and burn
Cause that could be the death of us, the death of us, baby
You know how to drive in rain
And you decided not to make a change
Stuck in the same old lane
Going the wrong way home
I feel like my heart is stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic,
I'm under pressure
Cause I can't have you the way that I want
Let's just go back to the way it was
When we were on Honeymoon Avenue
Honeymoon Avenue
Baby, coastin' like crazy
Can we get back to the way it was?
Hey, what happened to the butterflies?
Guess they encountered that stop sign
And my heart is at a yellow light, a yellow light
Hey, right when I think that we found it,
Well, that's when we start turning around
You're saying, "Baby, don't worry,"
But we're still going the wrong way, baby
You know how to drive in rain
And you decided not to make a change
Stuck in the same old lane
Going the wrong way home
I feel like my heart is stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic,
I'm under pressure
Cause I can't have you the way that I want
Let's just go back to the way it was
When we were on Honeymoon Avenue
Honeymoon Avenue
Baby, coastin' like crazy
Can we get back to the way it was?
They say only fools fall in love
Well, they must've been talking about us
And sometimes I feel like I've been here before
I could be wrong, but I know I'm right
We gon' be lost if we continue to fight
Honey I know, yeah,
We can find our way home
I feel like my heart is stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic,
I'm under pressure
Cause I can't have you the way that I want
Let's just go back to the way it was
When we were on Honeymoon Avenue
Honeymoon Avenue
My baby, coastin' like crazy
Can we get back to the way it was?
When we were on Honeymoon Avenue
Honeymoon Avenue
Baby, coastin' like crazy
Can we get back to the way it was?
Baby, you know how to drive in rain
You decided not to make a change
Stuck in the same old lane
Going the wrong way home
I feel like my heart is stuck in... traffic,
I'm under..., pressure, pressure
Let's just go back to the way it was
When we were on...
