Here we meet and share everything: knowledges, experiences, and ...

Di sini setiap hari
sampai entah kapan nanti

Satu yang pasti:
suatu ketika akan berhenti!

Lalu akan tiba-tiba menjadi masa lalu
sampai pada akhirnya kita akan mengerti
segala yang kita jejakkan di  sini
: sia-sia
atau
 punya arti














Here every day
until sometime later

One is for sure:
one day will cease!

Then all of a sudden will become the past
until in the end we will understand
everything we stomp here
: In vain
or
  has meaning
