***




If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea,
I'll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see,
I'll be the light to guide you

Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like 1 2 3
I'll be there
And i know when i need it i can count on you like 4 3 2
And you'll be there
Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah

Woooooooh, woooooooh
Yeah, yeah

If you're tossing and you're turning and you just can't fall asleep,
I'll sing a song beside you
And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me,
Everyday i will remind you, ohh

Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like 1 2 3
I'll be there
And i know when i need it i can count on you like 4 3 2
And you'll be there
Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah

Wooooooh, wooooooh
Yeah, yeah

You'll always have my shoulder when you cry
I'll never let go, never say goodbye

You know you can count on me like 1 2 3
I'll be there
And i know when i need it i can count on you like 4 3 2
And you'll be there
Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah

Oohhhh, ohhhhh
You can count on me cause i can count on you.

Udah denger kan lagunya. Gimana? Enak nggak? Kalo menurut syifa, lagunya bang Bruno sih enak-enak semua. Xixixi.

By the way, kalian tau nggak artinya? Hmmm… Ok. If you don’t understand, I’ll tell you.

Lagu ini bercerita tentang seorang sahabat yang setiaaaaa banget. Maksud dari ‘Count On’ disini bukan menghitung, tapi mungkin bisa jadi sama kayak ‘Trust’ atau ‘Percaya’. So, COUNT ON ME memiliki arti kasar ‘Percaya Sama Gue’.

Hayo, kemaren syifa abis ngerjain soal Try Out Bahasa Inggris dari DIKNAS. Kebetulan syifa dapet paket A (but I believe paket A sama paket B soalnya nggak jauh beda). And guess what, di nomor-entah-berapa-syifa-lupa, ada teks tentang Street Sweeper, Fly, and Judgement. Di dalam cerita itu ada kata-kata, “Yes. You can count on me.” Dan di bawahnya, ada soal kayak gini: “The synonym of Count On is…” Hahaha, nggak nyesel syifa udah capek-capek googling nyari arti dari lagu Count On Me.

Crap! Crap!

Kalo yang syifa liat, lagu ini punya moral value yang penting banget. Baca lirik terakhirnya, deh. You can count on me cause I can count on you. Kamu bisa percaya aku karena aku bisa percaya kamu.

                Emang bener. Sahabat harus saling percaya satu sama lain.

                Beside that, baca deh yang lirik ‘Find out what we’re made of. When we are called to help our friends in need.’ Yup. Sesama teman, harus saling tolong-menolong, tuh! Jangan cuek bebek aja.

                Sedikit curhat. Pernah denger pepatah ‘Kacang lupa kulitnya’? Syifa yakin, kalian pasti tau artinya. Tapi, gimana kalo kalian punya temen yang mirip sama pepatah diatas? He/She find another new friend and he/she forget you. Nyesek? Ya jelaslah!

                Seharusnya, teman yang baik adalah TEMAN YANG MENGHARGAI TEMAN LAMANYA WALAUPUN DIA UDAH PUNYA TEMAN YANG BARU! (Sengaja di capslock biar tambah greget).

                Cause syifa has a friend like that.

                He always has our shoulders when he cry. But after he found another new friend in his class, he forget everything about us. Jangankan ketawa bareng kayak dulu, nyapa juga nggak pernah. That’s why kita-sebagai mantan sahabatnya-kecewa abis, sob!

                So, intropeksi diri masing-masing, deh, ya. Apakah kalian termasuk kategori orang yang mirip pepatah ‘kacang lupa kulitnya’? J

                Back to the topic.

                Rata-rata, lagu yang disukai para hooligans itu ya lagu ini. Count On Me. Selain moral value-nya yang ‘dalem’ banget, instrument lagu ini emang gampang banget ditiru. Cuma butuh satu gitar dan mungkin ukulele kecil buat mainin lagu ini. Cocok buat kalian yang sebentar lagi mau Ujian Praktek Seni Budaya buat nyanyiin lagu barat kayak Syifa (duh, jadi promosi gini hehe).

                Hoaaammmm…. Artikel Syifa boring banget ya? Maaf deh. I just want to show the world that friend is important. So, jangan gampang lupain temen kalian segampang kalian ngebalikin telapak tangan.

                And well, actually this article dedicated to one of my friend. Cepet sadar dong, kalo jadi kacang lupa kulitnya itu nggak baik, lho. Dan dicuekin itu juga nggak enak.

                Oke, I think it’s enough. See you in my next article.

You can count on me cause I can count on you \=D/
