Daughters

Fathers be good to your daughters, daughters will love like you do.

Sebuah tribut atas lagu John Mayer yang berjudul "Daughters".

Seorang gadis, seorang remaja putri, seorang mahasiswi, seorang wanita muda yang tengah menjejak hidup masing-masing. Penuh warna cerah hidup siangnya. Namun ketika senja menjelang, warna tersebut memudar. Menjingga, seiring hembusan nafas panjang dan tatapan nanar ke langit di atasnya. "Ayah, mengapa engkau pergi?"

Seorang wanita muda menatap dalam mata seseorang di pantulan cermin.. sesosok pria, yang tengah berkonsentrasi membetulkan dasinya. Air mata perlahan mengaliri pipi wanita itu tatkala ia bergumam tanpa melepaskan pandangnya,"Kelak, sayangi putri kita. Ia akan menyayangimu seperti kau sayangi dia."

Daughters

I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
But she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls are continually changed
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now I'm left
Cleaning up the mess he made

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without the warmth from
A womans good, good heart

On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the guide and the weight of her world

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Untuk semua wanita yang pernah ditinggalkan, untukmu ada pria yang tepat. Mungkin belum, tapi kelak akan.
