Tujuh Belas Tahun

[Intro] [(dark, sparse piano, underground feeling)] (hum) 唔…… [Verse 1] [(dark warm alto, conversational delivery, stays very low, patient, clean)] Di bawah tanah, tujuh belas tahun Tanpa cahaya [(hushed, patient)] Dia tonggeret yang menghitung hari [(the reveal, quiet)] Tanah berat, dia tetap diam [(endure)] Setiap detak jantung menyimpan suara [(quiet fire)] [Pre-Chorus] [(rising key by key, climbing higher each line, light head voice)] Hari itu, dia menerobos tanah [(first movement)] Hujan semalam sudah menolongnya [(nature conspiring)] Dia memanjat, pelan-pelan ke atas [(climbing)] Setiap jengkal, rindu yang lebih tinggi [(higher each line)] Every inch, a little higher [(climbing, English lift)] [Chorus] [(explosive sustained belt, dark thick chest voice, hold the high notes through whole lines)] Sing—— [(the first big sustained high note)] Seventeen years of dark, sung into light [(belt, held)] Every silent word, returned to the sky [(higher, sustained)] This summer, no ceiling, no border [(climbing still)] Her highest note comes once in a lifetime [(longest note so far)] [Verse 2] [(dark warm alto, low, steady, more intensity than verse 1)] Suara tahun lalu berkata: jangan terlalu tinggi [(elders' warning)] Nanti jatuh, serak, terlupakan [(condescending warning)] Dia tinggalkan kulitnya, tak menoleh [(leaving the old self behind)] Angin makin kencang, dia makin tinggi [(defiance rising)] [Pre-Chorus 2] [(rising even higher, full head voice to chest)] Saat sayapnya terbuka [(takeoff)] Seluruh pohon jadi pianonya [(the tree as her instrument)] Kali ini, tanpa batas untuk dirinya sendiri [(no limit)] Setinggi apa pun, suaranya sampai [(to the edge)] [Bridge] [(spoken, quiet, piano only)] ([dark silence before the storm]) （念白） Ada yang bertanya: untuk apa? [(calm question)] Tujuh belas tahun di bawah tanah, untuk satu musim panas? [(the math of her life)] Dia bilang: kegelapan bukan utang [(quiet, absolute)] Itu bunga, dari nada tertinggi [(the blade — bunga: interest / flower)] [Final Chorus] ([Key Change Up — higher than everything before]) [(the biggest belt of the song)] Sing—— [(biggest sustained high note of the song)] Make this summer her stage [(her concert, held)] Let every silent soul hear the echo [(anthemic)] Kalau ini lagu terakhir [(sudden drop, one quiet beat)] Nyanyikan sampai langit terang [(the longest and highest note of the song)] [Outro] (Filtered) ([piano back in]) [(Reverb Fade-Out)] (轻轻) Musim gugur, datanglah [(peaceful, no regret)] Aku sudah selesai bernyanyi [(the exam is handed in)] Kulitnya masih di pohon, lagunya juga [(light sweet vibrato bloom)]
