In the year of '39 assembled here the Volunteers
In the days when lands were few
Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
The sweetest sight ever seen.
And the night followed day
And the story tellers say
That the score brave souls inside
For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas
Never looked back, never feared, never cried.
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I take your hand
In the land that our grandchildren knew.
In the year of '39 came a ship in from the blue
The volunteers came home that day
And they bring good news of a world so newly born
Though their hearts so heavily weigh
For the earth is old and grey, little darling we'll away
But my love this cannot be
For so many years have gone though I'm older but a year
Your mother's eyes from your eyes cry to me.
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I take your hand
In the land that our grandchildren knew.
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
All your letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand
For my life
Still ahead
Pity Me.
In the days when lands were few
Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
The sweetest sight ever seen.
And the night followed day
And the story tellers say
That the score brave souls inside
For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas
Never looked back, never feared, never cried.
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand

In the year of '39 assembled here the Volunteers
In the days when lands were few
Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
The sweetest sight ever seen.
In the days when lands were few
Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
The sweetest sight ever seen.
-Makna :
Di tahun '39 (1939, 2039, 2139, atau abad berapapun, ngga ada yang tau), ada beberapa relawan (Volunteers) yang akan pergi ke suatu tempat.. Mungkin mereka pergi pake kapal, karena disana dikatakan "Here the ship sailed out"..
[Bagian 2]
And the night followed day
And the story tellers say
That the score brave souls inside
For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas
Never looked back, never feared, never cried.
And the story tellers say

-Makna
Para relawan (atau mungkin lebih tepatnya, "penjelajah") pergi dengan waktu yang sangat lama, sehingga muncul cerita-cerita tentang para penjelajah tersebut. Mereka menjelajahi lautan susu (Milky Seas), dan mereka tidak pernah takut, menangis, dan melihat ke belakang. Apa itu lautan susu? ntahlah...

Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I take your hand
In the land that our grandchildren knew.
Don't you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I take your hand
In the land that our grandchildren knew.
-Makna
Para penjelajah meminta seseorang (mungkin istrinya) untuk menulis pesan yang ingin disampaikan diatas pasir. Tapi, ada sesuatu yang aneh disini. "In the land that our grandchildren knew", "Di tempat yang anak cucu kita ketahui". Lah, kok?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sampai disini, apa yang kamu pikirkan?
Faktanya, "Volunteers" itu merupakan para penjelajah luar angkasa. Mereka ditugaskan untuk mencari planet baru di luar sistem tata surya kita yang dapat ditinggali. "Milky Seas" itu mengacu kepada "Milky way", atau Galaksi Bima Sakti.
 |
| Milky Way Galaxy |
Jadi pada intinya, lirik diatas mengungkapkan bahwa ada beberapa penjelajah luar angkasa yang ditugaskan untuk mencari planet baru untuk ditinggali. Mereka menjelajahi galaksi bima sakti dengan kecepatan mendekati kecepatan cahaya. Saat mereka sampai di suatu planet, mereka mengirim pesan kepada manusia-manusia yang ada di bumi (terutama istrinya), dan pesan itu baru sampai beberapa tahun kemudian.
Setelah mengetahui fakta itu, mari kita lanjutkan ke bagian yang selanjutnya.

Though their hearts so heavily weigh

-Makna
lah, kenapa "year of '39" lagi? kok cuma beberapa bulan sih, ga nyampe 1 tahun?
Itu bukan ditahun yang sama. Faktanya, itu adalah 100 tahun kemudian. Misalnya, mereka pergi ditahun 2039 dan pulang ditahun 2139. Setelah 100 tahun menjelajah, para penjelajah pun sampai di bumi, atau rumah mereka. Mereka membawa kabar baik, tentang planet baru yang dapat ditinggali oleh manusia.
[Bagian 5]
For the earth is old and grey, little darling we'll away
But my love this cannot be
For so many years have gone though I'm older but a year
Your mother's eyes from your eyes cry to me.
But my love this cannot be
For so many years have gone though I'm older but a year
Your mother's eyes from your eyes cry to me.
-Makna
Bumi sudah tua, dan mungkin sudah hancur. Sudah 100 tahun terlewati di bumi, tapi para penjelajah hanya menambah umur 1 tahun. Ini disebabkan oleh dilatasi waktu, salah satu teori einstein. Kalau kita melaju dengan kecepatan mendekati kecepatan cahaya, maka waktu akan melambat bagi kita.
Lirik "Your mother's eyes from your eyes cry to me" menyatakan bahwa sang penjelajah dapat melihat istrinya (atau ibu dari anaknya) menangis kepadanya melalui mata anaknya, atau bahkan cucunya.
[Bagian 6]
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
All your letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand
For my life
Still ahead
Pity Me.
Don't you hear me calling you
All your letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand
For my life
Still ahead
Pity Me.
-Makna
Semua pesan yang dituliskan oleh istri sang penjelajah tidak dapat mengurangi rasa sakitnya kehilangan semua yang dicintainya. Dan sang penjelajah harus menjalani sisa hidupnya tanpa orang yang dicintainya.
Ya, begitulah.. ty
