One Day In Your life - Michael Jakson (song lyric translate)




One day in your life
Suatu hari nantu
You'll remember a place
Kau 'kan teringat sebuah tempat
Someone touching your face
(dimana) Seseorang menyentuh wajahmu
You'll come back and you'll look around, you'll . . .
Kau 'kan kembali dan 'kan kau lihat sekeliling, kau 'kan..

One day in your life
Suatu hari nanti
You'll remember the love you found here
Kau 'kan teringat cinta yang kau temukan di sini
You'll remember me somehow
Kau 'kan teringat padaku
Though you don't need me now
Meski kini kau tak membutuhkanku
I will stay in your heart
Aku akan tetap ada di hatimu
And when things fall apart
Dan saat segalanya tak sesuai harapan

You'll remember one day . . .
Kau kan mengingatku suatu hari nanti ...

One day in your life

Suatu hari nantu
You'll remember a place
Kau 'kan teringat sebuah tempat
Someone touching your face
(dimana) Seseorang menyentuh wajahmu
You'll come back and you'll look around, you'll . . .
Kau 'kan kembali dan 'kan kau lihat sekeliling, kau 'kan..

One day in your life
Suatu hari nanti
You'll remember the love you found here
Kau 'kan teringat cinta yang kau temukan di sini
You'll remember me somehow
Kau 'kan teringat padaku
Though you don't need me now
Meski kini kau tak membutuhkanku
I will stay in your heart
Aku akan tetap ada di hatimu
And when things fall apart
Dan saat segalanya tak sesuai harapan

You'll remember one day . . .
Kau kan mengingatku suatu hari nanti ...
One day in your life
Suatu hari dalam hidupmu
When you find that you're always waiting
Saat kau rasa dirimu selalu menunggu
For a love we used to share
Hadirnya cinta yang dulu kita miliki
Just call my name, and I'll be there
Sebut namaku, dan aku 'kan datang
You'll remember me somehow
Kau 'kan teringat padaku
Though you don't need me now
Meski kini kau tak membutuhkanku
I will stay in your heart
Aku akan tetap berada di hatimu
And when things fall apart
Dan saat segalanya tak sesuai harapan
You'll remember one day . . .
Kau 'kan teringat suatu hari nanti...

One day in your life
Suatu hari nanti
When you find that you're always lonely
Saat kau rasakan dirimu selalu kesepian
For a love we used to share
Akan hadirnya cinta yang dulu kita miliki
Just call my name, and I'll be there.
Sebut namaku, dan aku 'kan datang.

Wayang kulit (versi english)



History 
Wayang is a generic term denoting traditional theatre in Indonesia. There is no evidence that wayang existed before Hinduism was brought to Southeast Asia from India circa the first century CE. This leads to the hypothesis that the art was imported by India or China, both of which have a long tradition of shadow puppetry and theatre in general. However, there very well may have been indigenous storytelling traditions that had a profound impact on the development of the traditional puppet theatre.
The first record of a wayang performance is from an inscription dated 930 CE which says si Galigi mawayang, or "Sir Galigi played wayang". From that time till today it seems certain features of traditional puppet theatre have remained. Galigi was an itinerant performer who was requested to perform for a special royal occasion. At that event he performed a story about the hero Bhima from the Mahabharata.
Wayang kulit is a unique form of theatre employing light and shadow. The puppets are crafted from buffalo hide and mounted on bamboo sticks. When held up behind a piece of white cloth, with an electric bulb or an oil lamp as the light source, shadows are cast on the screen. The plays are invariably based on romantic tales, especially adaptations of the classic Indian epics, theMahabharata and the Ramayana. Some of the plays are also based on local happening or other local secular stories. It is up to the conductor or dalang or master puppeteer to decide his direction.
The dalang is the genius behind the entire performance. It is he who sits behind the screen and narrates the story. With a traditional orchestra in the background to provide a resonant melody and its conventional rhythm, the dalang modulates his voice to create suspense thus heightening the drama. Invariably, the play climaxes with the triumph of good over evil.
The figures of the wayang are also present in the paintings of that time, for example, the roof murals of the courtroom in Klungkung, Bali. They are still present in traditional Balinese painting today. The figures are painted, flat woodcarvings (a maximum of 5 to 15 mm thick—barely half an inch) with movable arms. The head is solidly attached to the body. Wayang klitik can be used to perform puppet plays either during the day or at night. This type of wayang is relatively rare.
Wayang today is both the most ancient and most popular form of puppet theatre in the world. Hundreds of people will stay up all night long to watch the superstar performers, dalang, who command extravagant fees and are international celebrities. Some of the most famous dalang in recent history are Ki Nartosabdho, Ki Anom Suroto, Ki Asep Sunandar Sunarya, Ki Sugino, and Ki Manteb Sudarsono

Wayang Kulit

Wayang kulit, or shadow puppets, are without a doubt the best known of the Indonesian wayang. Kulit means skin, and refers to the leather construction of the puppets that are carefully chiselled with very fine tools and supported with carefully shaped buffalo horn handles and control rods. The stories are usually drawn from the Hindu epics the Ramayana, the Mahabharata or from the Serat Menak, (a story about the heroism of Amir Hamzah).
There is a family of characters in Javanese wayang calledPunakawan; they are sometimes referred to as "clown-servants" because they normally are associated with the story's hero, and provide humorous and philosophical interludes. Semar is the father of Gareng (oldest son), Petruk, and Bagong (youngest son). These characters did not originate in the Hindu epics, but were added later, possibly to introduce mystical aspects of Islam into the Hindu-Javanese stories. They provide something akin to a political cabaret, dealing with gossip and contemporary affairs.
The puppet figures themselves vary from place to place. In Central Java the city of Surakarta (Solo) and city of Yogyakarta are most famous and the most commonly imitated style of puppets. Regional styles of shadow puppets can also be found in West Java, Banyumas, Cirebon, Semarang, and East Java. Bali produces more compact and naturalistic figures, and Lombok has figures representing real people. Often modern-world objects as bicycles, automobiles, airplanes and ships will be added for comic effect, but for the most part the traditional puppet designs have changed little in the last 300 years.

Historically, the performance consisted of shadows cast on a cotton screen and an oil lamp. Today, the source of light used in wayang performance in Java is most often a halogen electric light. Some modern forms of wayang such as Wayang Sandosa created in the Art Academy at Surakarta (STSI)has employed spotlights, colored lights and other innovations.
The handwork involved in making a wayang kulit figure that is suitable for a performance takes several weeks, with the artists working together in groups. They start from master models (typically on paper) which are traced out onto skin or parchment, providing the figures with an outline and with indications of any holes that will need to be cut (such as for the mouth or eyes). The figures are then smoothed, usually with a glass bottle, and primed. The structure is inspected and eventually the details are worked through. A further smoothing follows before individual painting, which is undertaken by yet another craftsman. Finally, the movable parts (upper arms, lower arms with hands and the associated sticks for manipulation) mounted on the body, which has a central staff by which it is held. A crew makes up to ten figures at a time, typically completing that number over the course of a week.
The painting of less expensive puppets is handled expediently with a spray technique, using templates, and with a different person handling each color. Less expensive puppets, often sold to children during performances, are sometimes made on cardboard instead of leather.

Macam-Macam Ras


Manusia di muka bumi terdiri atas berbagai macam ras, berikut ras-ras diantaranya :

  1. Ras Austroloid


Ras Australoid adalah nama ras manusia yang mendiami bagian selatan India, Srilanka, beberapa kelompok di Asia Tenggara, Papua, Kepulauan Melanesia dan Australia. Untuk kelompok di Asia Tenggara, orang asli di Malaysia dan orang Negrito di Filipina termasuk ras ini. Sebelum Ras Mongoloid tiba di Nusantara, Ras Australoid merupakan ras dominan yang tersebar diseluruh pulau, samapi terdesak ke bagian timur Nusantara.
Ciri khas utama ras ini ialah bahwa mereka berambut keriting hitam dan berkulit hitam. Namun beberapa anggota ras ini di Australia berambut pirang dan rambutnya tidaklah keriting melainkan lurus. Selain itu beberapa orang asli di Malaysia kulitnya juga tidak selalu hitam dan bahkan menjurus putih.

2. Ras Kaukasoid


Ras Kaukasoid adalah ras manusia yang sebagian besar menetap di Eropa, Afrika Utara, Timur Tengah, Pakistan, dan India Utara. Keturunan mereka juga menetap di Australia, Amerika Utara, sebagian dari Amerika Selatan, Afrika Selatan dan Selandia Baru.
Anggota ras Kaukasoid biasa disebut “berkulit putih”, namun ini tidak selalu benar. Oleh beberapa pakar misalkan orang Ethiopia dan orang Somalia dianggap termasuk ras Kaukasoid, meski mereka berambut keriting dan berkulit hitam, mirip dengan anggota ras Negroid. Namun mereka tengkoraknya lebih mirip tengkorak anggota ras Kaukasoid.

3Ras Khoisan / Kapoid


 Ras Khoisan adalah ras manusia yang mendiami daerah barat daya Afrika, terutama di Namibia, Botswana, dan Afrika Selatan. Meski jumlah anggota ras ini tinggal beberapa ratus ribu, ras ini adalah ras yang sangat menarik sebab dianggap ras tertua atau cabang pertama yang berpisah dari ras utama manusia lainnya. Varietas DNA ibu (mitochondrial DNA) sangat beragam. Meski begitu mereka tidaklah “lebih primitif” daripada manusia lainnya.

4. Ras Mongoloid

Ras Mongoloid adalah ras manusia yang sebagian besar menetap di Asia Utara, Asia Timur, Asia Tenggara, Madagaskar di lepas pantai timur Afrika, beberapa bagian India Timur Laut, Eropa Utara, Amerika Utara, Amerika Selatan dan Oseania. Anggota ras Mongoloid biasa disebut “berkulit kuning”, namun ini tidak selalu benar. Misalkan orang Indian di Amerika dianggap berkulit merah dan orang Asia Tenggara seringkali berkulit coklat muda sampai coklat gelap.
Ciri khas utama anggota ras ini ialah rambut berwarna hitam yang lurus, bercak mongol pada saat lahir dan lipatan pada mata yang seringkali disebut mata sipit. Selain itu anggota ras manusia ini seringkali juga lebih kecil dan pendek daripada ras Kaukasoid.



5. Ras Negroid

Ras Negroid adalah ras manusia yang terutama mendiami benua Afrika di sebelah selatan gurun sahara. Keturunan mereka banyak mendiami Amerika Utara, Amerika Selatan dan juga Eropa serta Timur Tengah.
Ciri khas utama anggota ras negroid ini ialah kulit yang berwarna hitam dan rambut keriting. Meski begitu anggota ras Khoisan dan ras Australoid, meski berkulit hitam dan berambut keriting tidaklah termasuk ras manusia ini.


6. Ras Campuran

Indonesia-Belanda

Indonesia-Jerman
