Don't you taste salty?
In tears
On sweat
On blood
Along your coast you want to find traces of salt that have been raining all day
But you also want to look up at the sky looking for the sun between the mountain rocks
Because in the mountains you may find salt
Not in the ocean waves that make you sink again and again
On the rocky hills
Salt cultivators
Salt hunters
Hope it's salty until it crosses the ocean
GARAM
Tidakkah kau rasakan asin
Pada airmata
Pada keringat
Pada darah
Di sepanjang pantaimu kau ingin temukan jejak garam yang diguyur hujan seharian
Tapi Kau juga ingin menatap langit mencari matahari di selasela batu batu pegunungan
Karena di gununglah mungkin kau temukan garam
Bukan di gelombang laut yang membuatmu berulang karam
Di bukit bukit berbatu
Para peladang garam
Para pemburu garam
Berharap asinnya sampai melintas lautan
