White Winter Hymnal – Birdy

Senang sekali ada lagu sependek ini liriknya. Memang ditulis untuk berbunyi bagus, tapi maknanya bisa bermacam-macam.

I was following the,
I was following the,
I was following the,
I was following the,
I was following the,
I was following the,
I was following the,
I was following the,
I was following the pack,
All swaddled in their coats
With scarves of red tied 'round their throats
To keep their little heads
From fallin' in the snow
And I turned 'round and there you go.
And Michael you would fall,
And turn the white snow
Red as strawberries in the summertime.
Hari itu, hari yang serba putih dan bersalju. Angin dingin berhembus menyakitkan. Semua orang bergelung, berselimut jaket tebal di jalanan. Beberapa dari mereka mengenakan syal merah di leher untuk menghangatkan kepala mereka. Aku memperhatikan salju yang berguguran. Putih, bersih, dingin. Lalu, di sanalah kau berada. Kau terjatuh, berdarah, dan mengubah warna salju menjadi merah, semerah strawberry di musim panas yang cerah.
