Arti Lirik Dolly Parton - Sittin' On The Front Porch Swing

I remember a time
Aku ingat suatu saat
When the bloom was on the cotton
Saat mekar ada di atas kapas
When our hearts chased the clouds
Saat hati kita mengejar awan
Like the swallow on the wing
Seperti burung layang-layang di sayap
When our cares, which were already few
Saat kita peduli, yang sudah sedikit
Were soon forgotten
Segera dilupakan
Just sittin' on the front porch swing
Suka saja di ayunan teras depan


Oh, we'd sit every Sunday
Oh, kita akan duduk setiap hari Minggu
And watched the married ladies
Dan memperhatikan wanita yang sudah menikah
And we'd dream of white dresses
Dan kami bermimpi gaun putih
And churchbells in the spring
Dan gereja di musim semi
And they'd talk and paint their nails
Dan mereka akan berbicara dan melukis kuku mereka
While they'd let us hold their babies
Sementara mereka membiarkan kami menggendong bayi mereka
Sittin' on the front porch swing
Sittin ‘di ayunan teras depan


Where was I when the time came
Dimana saya kapan waktunya tiba
To join the married ladies
Bergabunglah dengan wanita yang sudah menikah
Why did I paint the nail
Mengapa saya melukis kuku itu?
When the finger had no ring
Bila jari tidak memiliki cincin
Why do I sit at my age
Mengapa saya duduk di usiaku?
And long to hold their babies
Dan lama untuk menahan bayi mereka
Sittin' on the front porch swing
Sittin ‘di ayunan teras depan


When the mind longs to follow
Saat pikiran rindu mengikuti
But the memory erases
Tapi ingatannya hilang
And the lips form the words
Dan bibir membentuk kata-kata
But the heart no longer sings
Tapi hati tidak lagi bernyanyi
When the leaves in the hollow
Saat daun di cekung
Have been dyed to match our faces
Telah dicelup agar sesuai dengan wajah kita
Sittin' on the front porch swing
Sittin ‘di ayunan teras depan


Oh, we'll dream of the time
Oh, kita akan memimpikan waktu
When the bloom was on the cotton
Saat mekar ada di atas kapas
When our hearts chased the clouds
Saat hati kita mengejar awan
Like the swallow on the wing
Seperti burung layang-layang di sayap
But the words to the rhyme
Tapi kata-kata untuk sajak
Are not the only thing forgotten
Bukan satu-satunya yang terlupakan
Sittin' on the front porch swing
Sittin ‘di ayunan teras depan
Sittin' on the front porch swing
Sittin ‘di ayunan teras depan
