Arti Lirik John Prine - He Forgot That It Was Sunday

The motel lights were blinkin’
Lampu motel berkedip ‘
On my chartreuse four door Lincoln
Di bagan saya empat pintu Lincoln
On the dock the fish were stinkin’
Di dermaga ikan itu stinkin ‘
I simply didn’t have a care
Aku sama sekali tidak peduli


And the old men sit ’round the cracker barrels
Dan orang-orang tua itu duduk di atas tong sampah
The children hum their Christmas carols
Anak-anak menyanyikan lagu-lagu Natal mereka
The train tracks all run parallel
Rel kereta api semuanya sejajar
But they’ll all meet up one day
Tapi mereka semua akan bertemu suatu hari nanti


On a dusty pew in a vestibule
Di bangku berdebu di ruang depan
Sits the Devil playing pocket pool
Duduki Iblis bermain kolam saku
He’s waiting for the next poor fool
Dia sedang menunggu orang bodoh yang malang berikutnya
Who forgot that it was Sunday
Siapa yang lupa itu hari Minggu


We used to tell each other lies
Kami biasa saling saling berbohong
With our orange plastic button eyes
Dengan mata tombol plastik oranye kami
In a former life on a motel chair
Di bekas kehidupan di kursi motel
I was Charlie Parker’s teddy bear
Aku adalah boneka teddy Charlie Parker


Yeah, me and Bird we’d stay up late
Yeah, aku dan Bird kita akan terjaga sampai larut malam
I used to watch him contemplate
Dulu aku melihatnya merenung
While his horn would sit by the window and
Sementara tanduknya akan duduk di dekat jendela dan
Wait till it was time for him to blow it
Tunggu sampai tiba saatnya dia meniupnya


On a dusty pew in a vestibule
Di bangku berdebu di ruang depan
Sits the Devil playing pocket pool
Duduki Iblis bermain kolam saku
He’s waiting for the next poor fool
Dia sedang menunggu orang bodoh yang malang berikutnya
Who forgot that it was Sunday
Siapa yang lupa itu hari Minggu


The only song I ever knew
Satu-satunya lagu yang pernah saya tahu
Was “Moonlight Bay on the Avenue”
Apakah “Moonlight Bay on the Avenue”
These are the tales from the Devil’s chin
Inilah dongeng dari dagu Iblis
Charlie I could’ve been a contender
Charlie aku bisa menjadi pesaing


And the old men sit round the cracker barrels
Dan orang-orang tua itu duduk di sekitar tong sampah
The children hum their Christmas carols
Anak-anak menyanyikan lagu-lagu Natal mereka
The train tracks all run parallel
Rel kereta api semuanya sejajar
But they’ll all meet up one day
Tapi mereka semua akan bertemu suatu hari nanti


On a dusty pew in a vestibule
Di bangku berdebu di ruang depan
Sits the Devil playing pocket pool
Duduki Iblis bermain kolam saku
He’s waiting for the next poor fool
Dia sedang menunggu orang bodoh yang malang berikutnya
Who forgot that it was Sunday
Siapa yang lupa itu hari Minggu
Who forgot that it was Sunday.
Siapa yang lupa itu hari Minggu.
