"Panjaitan Bersaudara" or more recognized as "Panbers" is one of pioneers in Indonesian's music. They had Made some long lasting song that still cover by current musicians in many ocassion. If we go to a wedding party, their song is often listen same as the Beatles and another western band on the stage. Now, I cover one of their greatest hits "Gereja Tua". Hope you enjoy the song, guys...
Here is the lyrics and the translation of the song...
Masihkah kau ingat waktu di desa
Bercanda bersama di samping gereja
Kala itu kita masih remaja,
yang polos hatinya bercerita
Do you still remember the time in the village
Joking together beside the church
At that time we were teenagers,
innocent-hearted telling stories
Waktu kini tlah lama berlalu,
sudah sepuluh tahun tak bertemu.
Entah dimana kini kau berada,
tak tahu dimana rimbanya
The time is now long gone,
We haven't seen each other in ten years.
I don't know where you are now,
don't know where the jungle is
Hanya satu yang tak terlupakan,
kala senja di gereja tua.
Waktu itu hujan rintik-rintik,
kita berteduh di bawah atapnya
Only one unforgettable,
at dusk in the old church.
It was light rain then,
we take shelter under the roof
Kita berdiri begitu rapat,
hingga suasana begitu hangat
Tanganmu ku pegang erat-erat,
kenangan itu selalu ku ingat
We stand so close,
until the atmosphere is so warm
I hold your hand tight,
I always remember those memories
Waktu kini tlah lama berlalu,
sudah sepuluh tahun tak bertemu.
Entah dimana kini kau berada,
tak tahu dimana rimbanya
The time is now long gone,
We haven't seen each other in ten years.
I don't know where you are now,
don't know where the jungle is
Hanya satu yang tak terlupakan,
kala senja di gereja tua.
Waktu itu hujan rintik-rintik,
Kita berteduh di bawah atapnya
Only one unforgettable,
at dusk in the old church.
It was light rain then,
we take shelter under the roof
Biarpun saat ini kau tlah berdua,
itu bukanlah kesalahanmu
Ku hanya ingin dapat bertemu.
Bila bertemu puaslah hatiku
Bila bertemu puaslah hatiku
Even if you are both right now,
it's not your fault
I just want to be able to meet.
When we meet my heart is satisfied
When we meet my heart is satisfied
