IMPIAN

DREAMS
Langston Hughes, 1902 - 1967

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
======================
IMPIAN

Berpegang teguhlah pada mimpi-mimpi
Sebab bila impan mati
Hidup bagai burung bersayap patah
tak mampu terbang lagi.

Pegang teguh impianmu
Sebab bila mimpi pergi
Hidup layaknya tanah tandus
membeku bersama salju.
