Lyrics by: Opick
Rapuh / Frail
The passage of time keeps moving
Adorned as dark and bright
Happiness and sadness, tears and laughter
Is imprinted like a painting
A thousand of dreams, millions of solitude
Appear like a true companion
In between times my soul was exhausted
Through the anxiety and tears
I present to You
The One most beautiful in my life
Though I am frail in my steps
Sometimes unfaithful to You
But the love in my soul
Is only for You
Forgive me when the heart
Is not perfect in loving You
In my heart I hope that only
You are enthroned
Forgive me when the heart
Is not perfect in loving You
In my heart I hope that only
You are enthroned
Though I am frail in my steps
Sometimes unfaithful to You
But the love in my soul
Is only for You
Forgive me when the heart
Is not perfect in loving You
In my heart I hope that only
You are enthroned
Though I am frail in my steps
Sometimes unfaithful to You
But the love in my soul
Is only for You
Forgive me when the heart
Is not perfect in loving You
In my heart I hope that only
You are enthroned
The passage of time keeps passing
It all ends with You.
Original lyrics
Detik waktu terus berjalan
Berhias gelap dan terang
Suka dan duka, tangis dan tawa
Tergores bagai lukisan
Seribu mimpi, berjuta sepi
Hadir bagai teman sejati
Di antara lelahnya jiwa
Dalam resah dan air mata
Ku persembahkan kepadaMu
Yang terindah dalam hidupku
Meski ku rapuh dalam langkah
Kadang tak setia kepadaMu
Namun cinta dalam jiwa
Hanyalah padaMu
Maafkanlah bila hati
Tak sempurna mencintaiMu
Dalam dada ku harap hanya
DiriMu yang bertahta
Maafkanlah bila hati
Tak sempurna mencintaiMu
Dalam dada ku harap hanya
DiriMu yang bertahta
Meski ku rapuh dalam langkah
Kadang tak setia kepadaMu
Namun cinta dalam jiwa
Hanyalah padaMu
Maafkanlah bila hati
Tak sempurna mencintaiMu
Dalam dada ku harap hanya
DiriMu yang bertahta
Meski ku rapuh dalam langkah
Kadang tak setia kepadaMu
Namun cinta dalam jiwa
Hanyalah padaMu
Maafkanlah bila hati
Tak sempurna mencintaiMu
Dalam dada ku harap hanya
DiriMu yang bertahta
Detik waktu terus berlalu
Semua berakhir padaMu.

My thoughts while translating...
So, I decided to translate one of my mother’s favourite
songs by Opick titled “Rapuh”. It’s a religious song with beautiful lyrics as
well as a very soothing melody. This song always makes me feel calm while
listening to it and then, unknowingly my mouth would already be singing along
to the song.
From what I understand, this song mostly talks about what it means to be a normal servant of Allah. That's probably why the lyrics is so relatable and touches the heart of many listeners. As Muslims, we believe that our iman or faith is capable of increasing and decreasing. No matter how many good deeds or religious acts that one observes, it is normal for them or anyone to make mistakes. And of course, God knows His creations the best. He knows that we are susceptible to sin. What makes that righteous or pious ones different from others is what they do after they sin. It is to ask for His forgiveness. "All the children of Ādam are sinful and the best of sinners are those who repent.” (Tirmidhī, Musnad Aḥmad).
And to me, this song illustrates just that. In this journey called life, time keeps on moving and things happen whether it be sad or happy. But at the end of the day, one can only return to Him as He is our one and only final destination. Just do our best and hope for His Mercy that we will meet Him one day with tears of joy on our face and not sorrow in syaa Allah :)
