Picked up a hitchhiker the other day,
Menjelang beberapa saat,
He said he wasn't going far.
Dia bilang dia tidak pergi jauh.
He looked so strange I couldn't help myself,
Dia terlihat sangat aneh sehingga saya tidak dapat menahan diri,
I asked, “Please, tell me who you are.”
Saya bertanya, “Tolong, katakan siapa Anda.”
He smiled politely and lit a cigarette,
Dia tersenyum sopan dan menyalakan sebatang rokok,
The smoke seemed to cast a spell.
Asap itu seolah memberi mantra.
What happened next I don't understand,
Apa yang terjadi selanjutnya saya tidak mengerti,
Yet it was so strange I can hardly tell.
Namun, sangat aneh sehingga saya tidak tahu.

He said, hold on it's coming
Katanya, tunggu sebentar
(Hold on it's coming)
(Tunggu itu datang)
He said, hold on it's very near
Katanya, tunggu sebentar
(Hold on it's near)
(Tunggu sebentar)
He said, hold on it's coming
Katanya, tunggu sebentar
(Hold on it's coming)
(Tunggu itu datang)
He said, hold on it's almost here.
Katanya, tunggu sebentar disini.
(Hold on it's almost here)
(Tunggu hampir di sini)

My mind seemed to spin and my hands began to tremble,
Pikiranku seakan berputar dan tanganku mulai bergetar,
I began talking in tongues.
Saya mulai berbicara dalam bahasa roh.
I looked over and his eyes seemed to glow,
Aku melihat ke atas dan matanya tampak bersinar,
It was like looking at the sun.
Rasanya seperti melihat matahari.
I told him everything in just a few moments
Aku menceritakan semuanya hanya dalam beberapa saat
As if we had stopped time.
Seakan kita sempat berhenti.
I felt the great light just as if I were floating,
Aku merasakan cahaya yang hebat seolah aku mengambang,
It was truly blowing my mind.
Itu benar-benar meniup pikiran saya.

He said, hold on it's coming
Katanya, tunggu sebentar
(Hold on it's coming)
(Tunggu itu datang)
He said, hold on it's very near
Katanya, tunggu sebentar
(It's very near)
(Ini sangat dekat)
He said, hold on it's coming
Katanya, tunggu sebentar
(Oh, hold on it's coming)
(Oh, tunggu itu datang)
He said, hold on it's almost here.
Katanya, tunggu sebentar disini.
(Hold on it's almost here)
(Tunggu hampir di sini)

And then I was suddenly a child again
Dan kemudian aku tiba-tiba menjadi anak lagi
Holding my father's hand
Memegang tangan ayahku
And I watched it from the beginning
Dan aku melihatnya dari awal
As I grew from child to man.
Seiring bertambahnya aku dari anak ke manusia.
My friends all came and gathered round me once more,
Teman-teman saya semua datang dan berkumpul mengelilingi saya sekali lagi,
We undid what was done,
Kami membatalkan apa yang telah dilakukan,
And when it was over I was driving down the road
Dan ketika sudah berakhir aku mengemudi di jalan
I looked around and he was gone.
Aku melihat sekeliling dan dia pergi.

He said, hold on it's coming
