mereka akan berkata
kesedihanmu akan pergi terhempas angin-
angin selatan yang penuh debu,
terbawa sampai ufuk ufuk timur terjauh

dan kau akan terdiam, bertanya dalam hati
kapan ini akan berakhir,
dan terbawa sampai ufuk timur terjauh
ufuk timur terjauh.

kau pernah melangkahkan kaki,
dan terjengkal.
sadar
dan melantunkan,
terang yang kau dambakan, hilanglah semua yang kau tanya

terang yang kau dambakan, hilanglah semua yang kau tanya
terang yang kau dambakan, hilanglah semua yang kau tanya.

Empati Tamako.
it would be really nice to have this song played on my funeral one day. 
empati is the condition of positioning one's self on another one's condition, trying to or feeling completely one's feeling and motives, while Tamako is a subdistrict within Sangihe islands, which is Waloni's hometown. this song is just... beautiful. their songs are all soothing and calming yet very emotional. the one thing that keeps me falling for the trees and the wild is when you listen to their music, close your eyes and surrender, they lift you up flying high. 

here is the video :


and the acoustic version, which is just as beautiful


enjoy!
