Lyric: Paradise - Maher Zain

I remember when I first met you
Teringatku saat pertama berjumpa dirimu
I felt that God answered my call
Kumerasa Tuhan menjawab doaku
There was that one place I always thought about
Ada satu tempat yang selalu kupikirkan
And I just wanted to be there with you
Dan kuingin berada di sana bersamamu
The place that no eye has ever seen
Tempat yang tiada mata pernah melihatnya
The place that no heart has ever perceived
Tempat yang tiada hati pernah membayangkannya
I had a great feeling inside of me
Ada perasaan yakin dalam diriku
That one day I'll be there with you
Bahwa suatu hari nanti aku kan di sana bersamamu

CHORUS
And now that we're here, feeling so good
Dan karena kini kita di sini merasa sungguh bahagia
About all the things that we went through
Tentang segala yang tlah kita lewati
Knowing that God is pleased with us too
Tahu bahwa Tuhan juga meridhoi kita
It's not a dream, this is so true
Ini bukanlah mimpi, ini sungguh nyata
Feeling the peace all around
Rasakan kedamaian di segala penjuru
Seeing things we could never imagine
Melihat hal-hal yang tak dapat kita bayangkan
Hearing the sound of rivers flow
Mendengar suara sunga-sungai mengalir
And we know we'll be here forever
Dan kita tahu kita kan di sini selamanya
The feeling is indescribable
Perasaan yang tak dapat digambarkan
Knowing that this is our reward
Tahu bahwa inilah balasan untuk kita

Do you remember the hard times we went through?
Ingatkah kau dengan saat-saat sulit yang kita lalui?
And those days we used to argue
Dan hari-hari saat kita sering beradu
But there was not one thing that could bring us down
Tapi tak ada satu pun yang bisa hentikan kita
'Cause we always had in our minds
Kita di benak kita selalu terbayang
The place that no eye has ever seen
Tempat yang tiada mata pernah melihatnya
The place that no heart has ever perceived
Tempat yang tiada hati pernah membayangkannya
The place we've been promised to live in forever
Tempat yang tlah dijanjikan tuk kita tinggali selamanya
And best of all, it's just me and you
Dan yang terbaik, hanya kau dan aku

CHORUS

I remember us praying at night
Teringatku saat kita berdoa di malam hari
And just dreaming about this together
Dan mimpikan ini bersama-sama
I'm so blessed to have you in my life
Kumerasa terberkati karena kumiliki dirimu dalam hidupku
And now we can enjoy these blessings forever
Dan kini bisa kita nikmati berkah ini selamanya
Paradise is where we are now
Surga adalah tempat kita kini
Paradise, a dream come true
Surga, mimpi yang jadi nyata
Paradise, O what a feeling!
Surga, betapa indahnya!
Paradise, thank You Allah!
Surga, terima kasih Allah!

Drama Korea

Setelah beberapa kali menonton, menyaksikan, menelaah, mengikuti, dan menghayati cerita-cerita di drama korea, hampir ga ada bedanya dengan cerita-cerita dongeng. Agak-agak sulit diterima akal sehat. Terlalu membahagiakan. Tema ceritanya, sih, kadang memang beragam, macam-macam, lebih variatif lah ketimbang cerita sinetron--yang-pasti-ada-tokoh-antagonisnya-itu-antagonis-banget-nggak-ada-sisi-baiknya-sedikit-pun. Saya masih sulit percaya apa benar ada orang dengan sifat seperti itu.

Jadi, begini. Saya akan mengarang indah beberapa 'kekacauan' yang sering ada pada drama-drama korea di sini. Izinkan saya....
