Words and Chords


G7                    G

Seventy-six times around the sun

C9

Been a trip, been some fun

Bb9

Especially when I'm with my hon

G7

In Bali

 

[repeat chord progression between each verse but use Bm/G instead of G]

 

Matahari's twenty galactic years

Middle aged, no hopes, no tears

Shinnin on the kids and their stratospheres

And callings

 

We've all got an orbit and each of us spinnin

There's comin and goin and outin and inin

The whole shebang's a dancin and grinnin

By golly

 

So seventy-six times around the sun

Ready for more, dreadin for none

Nothin to do so get it done

Such folly!

 

[Repeat first verse]

 

Indonesian

Tujuh Puluh Kali Mengelilingi Matahari

 

Tujuh puluh enam kali mengelilingi matahari
Begitu menarik dan menyenangkan
Apalagi saat aku bersama kekasihku
Di Bali

Matahari berusia dua puluh tahun galaksi
Setengah baya, tanpa harapan, tanpa air mata
Menyinari anak-anak dan stratosfer mereka
Dan tujuan

Kita semua memiliki orbit dan masing-masing dari kita berputar
Ada yang datang dan pergi, dan ada yang kelua dan masuk
Semuanya berdansa dan menyeringai
Astaga

Jadi tujuh puluh enam kali mengelilingi matahari
Siap untuk lebih, takut untuk tidak ada
Tidak ada yang untuk dilakukan, jadi selesaikanlah
Betapa bodohnya

[Ulangi bait pertama]
