Introduction to My University (Salam perkenalan pada kampusku)

I’ve ever been standing here
Once-over I remind all of my dream
But I can't do anything, I’m alone

I wanna successfully hug the linguistics
Still, mom and dad need water, they need rice

My step was so quiet, my brain stopped
Went out early in the morning,
Came home late in the afternoon, I got the money

My heart was yelling,
“Is there any for school?”

It’s me,, the first child who’d never sad
I’m the accomplice of my parents and I’m my brother’s head
If I’ve let my heart died
It might has frozen and has bad smell

But, god said… DON’T!

So that, I’m standing here for my university
Indonesian Open Learning University let me get the linguistics
Standing over my limitation
I’m studying,
For my dream,
r my die..


(Aku pernah berdiri disini
Sesekali menengok cita dan mimpi
Namun apa daya, aku sendiri

Aku ingin sukses merangkul ilmu
Namun, ibu bapak perlu air, perlu nasi

Langkahku sepi, otakku buntu
Pergi pagi pulang petang, aku dapatkan uang

Jerit hati bertanya,
“Adakah sisa untuk sekolah?”

Inilah aku, Anak Sulung Pantang Murung
Kaki tangan ibu bapak, kepala adik tercinta
Jika dulu ku biarkan hatiku mati
Barangkali terbujur kaku berbau busuk

Tapi, tuhan bilang… JANGAN!

Sehingga kini, aku berdiri untuk kampusku
Universitas Terbuka izinkan ku merangkul ilmu
Berdiri di atas keterbatasanku
Aku tetap belajar,
Untuk mimpiku,
Untuk matiku..)
