I HUNG YOUR CLOTHES OUT OF THE LINE


I hung your clothes out on the line
I really had a time
You’re sitting at your desk away at school
You crazy fool

I put some clothespins in my teeth
Some got away from me
Strung a row of sopping clothes that drool
My hands were cool

And toes were cold, too, in the breeze
And dampened leaves
The ground was hanging up to dry as well
And so do tell

I put the laundry basket down
Pulled each item out
Overlapped and clipped them, a few fell,
But I did well

At each panty and each blouse I’d sigh
How the time goes by
You’ve got some unmatched shocks there,
So does Kelly, so do I
From where do they arise

I hung your laundry up today
You’re not so far away
The sky and ocean grey, it surely looks like rain

Indonesian

Aku menjemur pakaianmu


Aku menjemur pakaianmu
Aku benar-benar menikmatinya
Kau sedang duduk di meja di sekolah
Malangnya kamu

Aku menaruh beberapa jepitan di gigiku
Beberapa jatuh
Merangkai deretan baju basah kuyup yang menetes
Tanganku dingin

Dan jari-jari kakiku juga dingin, tertiup angin
Dan daun daun basah
Tanahnya juga meng
Dan lalu

Aku meletakkan keranjang cucian
Menarik setiap item keluar
Tumpang tindih dan menjepitnya, beberapa jatuh,
Tetapi Aku melakukannya dengan baik

Di setiap celana dalam dan blusmu aku menghela nafas
Bagaimana waktu berlalu
Kau memiliki kaus kaki yang tak sama di sana, begitu juga Kelly, Aku juga
Dari mana mereka muncul?

Aku menggantung cucianmu hari ini
Kau tidak begitu jauh
Langit dan lautan kelabu
Sepertimya pasti hujan
