Raisa – Mantan Terindah

Mengapa engkau waktu itu putuskan cintaku
Dan saat ini engkau selalu ingin bertemu
Dan mengulang jalin cinta

Reff:
Mau dikatakan apa lagi
Kita tak akan pernah satu
Engkau disana aku disini
Meski hatiku memilihmu

Andai ku bisa ingin aku memelukmu lagi
Di hati ini hanya engkau mantan terindah
Yang selalu kurindukan

Reff:
Mau dikatakan apa lagi
Kita tak akan pernah satu
Engkau disana aku disini
Meski hatiku memilihmu

Engkau meminta padaku
Untuk mengatakan bila ku berubah
Jangan pernah kau ragukan
Engkau kan selalu di langkahku

Reff:
Mau dikatakan apa lagi
Kita tak akan pernah satu
Engkau disana aku disini
Meski hatiku memilihmu

Engkau disana aku disini
Meski hatiku memilihmu
Yang tlah kau buat sungguh lah indah
Buat diriku susah lupa

The Strange Porridge

        Long ago there lived on the island of Roti an old woman and her grandson . What had happened to her grandson’s parents, the old woman did not care to speak about. Behind their hut , they grew rice. Although their field did not yield much rice, there was enough food for both of them . But for other food , the grandmother had to go to the sea to catch fish.   

Every time the grandmother went out fishing , the boy was not allowed to go with her . But one day he could not restrain himself and said to the old woman, “Please Granny, let me go with you. I’d like to catch fish too.”

        “No, my child , don’t go with me. It’s too dangerous. Stay here and cook the rice for us. Take only one grain. That will do.

        The old woman went away , leaving the boy gratly disappointed. He sat around the house , brooding about the reason why he was not allowed to go. Suddenly he realized that it was getting late . He went to the kitchen , wondering to himself, “Only one grain? It’s so funny Granny thinks like that . How can it be? No, surely not.”So when he put the rice pot on the fire , he took several handfuls of rice , as he doubted the truth of what his grandmother said. When he thought that it was time to take the pot off the fire , he lifted the lid.

        “Goodnes!”he exclamaid . “ What’s happening?” For just as he lifted the lid a stream of hot porridge flew out of the pot. It kept flowing over the floor , out of the kitchen and then across the backyard .

        In tears the boy went looking for his grandmother , as he could not understand what had happened . When he found her and told her what he had done , she grew angry. She took hold of a piece of wood and beat him hard on his head till he was black and blue and howling loudly in pain.

        No matter what the boy said, begging for forgiveness , the grandmother did not relent and kept beating him to teach him obedience, she said. But quite suddenly the boy vanished. The grandmother looked for him everywhere. She was sure that she was holding him firmly by the arm , but now he was gone. Then, while she was still searching for him, she heard a voice saying, “Good bye, Granny! You are alone now. There will nobody to help you from now on.” Then the voice died away.From that time on, the people of Roti have never beaten their children or any other people on the head.
