Kalo Adam Nyanyi Solitaire

Sebelumnya saya sama sekali nggak tahu lagu Solitaire (norak kali yee). Baik versi oldiestnya (Carpenters) maupun yang dinyanyikan ulang oleh Sheryl Crow atau Clay Aiken, runner up American Idol 2. Biar kate American Idol termasuk acara favorit, tapi emang kagak tahu kalau Clay nyanyiin lagi Solitaire.

Baru benar-benar tahu Solitaire saat Mbak Asma Nadia cerita kalau Adam, putra bungsunya seneng banget lagu itu. Penasaran banged pengen lihat Adam nyanyi ntu lagu. Kebetulan 2 atau 3 hari sebelum Mbak Asma ke Korea, sempat main ke rumah beliau. Dan… kesampaian juga denger Adam nyanyi Solitaire. Sempet nyanyi bareng juga (sambil lihat teks, tapi Adam udah hafal… coba deh anak sekecil itu!).

Ternyata lagunya enak juga. Adam juga oke banged lho nyanyinya. Lihat tuh ekspresinya (foto itu sih gak pas nyanyi bareng ama kita). Buat Mbak Asma, map yee fotonya dipublish tanpa ijin :D. Karena Adam juga, akhirnya saya dan Mbak Nanik nyari-nyari kaset Clay. Waduh, percaya atau tidak, di hampir semua toko kaset yang kita cari, habis ntu kaset! Akhirnya dapet di Aquarius, itu pun kaset campuran, album The Most Request Song-nya MTV. Kebetulan Solitaire ada di album itu. Nggak apa deh, yang penting kan emang nyari Solitaire ajah. Lumayan didiskon pula ntu kaset, cuma 15 ribu dari 23 ribu.

Kalo nyanyi lagu itu, pasti deh inget Adam. Pengen nyanyi bareng lagi ama Adam, karena sekarang saya udah hafal lagu itu, hahaha!

Solitaire

There was a man, a lonely man
Who lost his love, through his indifference
A heart that cared that went unshared
Until it died within his silence

And solitaire’s the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself it’s easy to pretend
He’ll never love again

And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He’s playing solitaire

Another day, a lonely day
So much to say that goes unspoken
And through the night, his sleepless nights
His eyes are closed, his heart is broken

And solitaire’s the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself it’s easy to pretend
She’s coming back again

And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He’s playing solitaire

A little hope goes up in smoke
Just how it goes, goes without saying

Solitaire
And by himself it’s easy to pretend
He’ll never love again
Oh, and keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He’s playing solitaire
Solitaire, solitaire
