When the night come you are here
When I wake up you are around me
When the sun shines you are still here
Be my guest, Gabrielle

Lia, I’ll never give you the reason to say goodbye
I’d be silent without your tongue
I’m a stranger in human life

So help me talk to them
or teach me how to smell roses
Surabaya or Jakarta, I cut short the distance
I pull out the time,

No one can reach me
But I can reach people everywhere

Gabrielle, Gabrielle
your coming makes the earth shiver
How many people will die
When nuclear explodes
The advance bomb will make us face the doomsday

When would would it be Gabrielle?
May, July, or the end of two thousand six?
Vaya con dios the fertility
Earthquakes, storms, floods are taking place everywhere

God’s blessing is being withheld
The earth has a sickly pallor
So what God’s blessed you have denied
Fa bi ayyi aalaa I rabbikumaa tukadzdzibaan

(Mahoni, 11 Agustus 1998)
