Altimet - Aku Tahu
Bila berdepan tak bisa bicara lidahku kaku
Jadi inilah hatiku didalam lagu
When I want to talk to Abah, I had to think it through, arrange my sentences, our relationship is not that kind of spontaneous and you could just talk about what came across your mind.
Aku tahu dahulu aku sering ingkar
Tahu aku selalu buat harimu sukar
I am hard, I am a rebel, I want it my way. I will push it hard until it goes my way.
Aku tahu kearah kau ku tunding jari
Kerna satu aksi mu selalu mengguris hati
Growing up I always knew that Abah will never understand me. He does not know what I want. He will not be like other fathers.
Aku faham bila kau kurang memahami
Kenapa senangku ingat susahku memaafi
Even I knew he will never be what I wanted but I keep hoping something happens and change it growing up.
Suruhan mu sangat susah aku taati
Ini semua salahku tidak dinafi
Ku pikul dosa dosa ku ke akhir nanti
Kerna kau mengajar aku inilah cara lelaki
A man will always owe up to what he had done. Whatever you had done, you live with it, make use of it. Never blame others. The burden is always on you to push it forward.
Aku tahu esok lusa kau pasti pergi
Aku tahu kau akan aku kebumi
Ku lakukannya tanpa airmata di pipi
I can't really remember exactly the day how I buried Abah. Things go so fast. I remember looking at my watch, at 5.30pm that day they announced the death. We are at your bedside. The gavel had hit down. It was all set in stone, Abah had left us. I remember all of us cries together outside of the ward. After that, we move fast to complete the burial by that night. I remember reading you Yassin, bathing, solat, and carrying your body to the cemetery. Talkin and that it's. Got a few issues but the past is past. Maybe the one we burying is your body, your essence is still with us.
Lihat kau akan hidup dalam anak anak ku nanti

Hari Ini Ku Tahu
Memori menghuni di pemikiranku
Akan diungkap waktu sejarah masa depanku
Itu aku tahu
Moving on, anything happens, related or not I keep reminiscing our moment together, what would you say, How things will have been if Abah was still with us.
Aku tahu aku sering pergi
Menyepi berhari aku mencari rezeki
In every moment we as a parent working, doing things, we always keep in mind of our children. Wanted to give them the best.
Ku kembali senyumanmu aku nikmati
Tawamu ku kecapi dan kasihmu ku selami
A son or daughter you will never be able to repay your parent at the moment but looking at your reaction and what you achieve were enough to make us felt repaid.
Ku tak marah kau kacau tidurku tiap pagi
Genggamanmu kecil hanya muat satu jari
Tapi didalam kampung hatiku kau gergasi
Tak sabar untuk hari kau sebesar aku nanti
Aaron, Akhtar, and their siblings mean so much to us.
Kalau aku berjalanku mahu kau berlari
Ku tadahkan bahu kau capailah matahari
Ingat kau gergasi di bumi gegarkan paksi
As much as Abah pushes me to what I have become today, I want to do the same to all of my children. I want them to be better than me, serve my purpose and support them.
Terima kasih kerana mengajar aku jadi lelaki
You will never be a complete man until you raise another man.
Kau perlu tahu esok lusa ku pasti pergi
Kau perlu tahu aku akan kau kebumi
Lakukannya tanpa airmata di pipi
I want to die one day knowing that I had given my all to raise my children. Nothing less for me to share and they will have sufficient to carry on with their life. In the meantime, I will carry Abah Legacy ensuring him that he had given me enough, no regret for him and he can rest peacefully.
Lihat aku hidup di dalam anak anak mu pasti
Rundown what I had given you to your own later own. Let our legacy flow and be great.
Lihat kau akan hidup dalam anak anak ku nanti

You will never live forever. One way for you to keep living is by being thru others. All that you ever worked for, your legacy could live thru your children. Yes, you could never force others to live the way you wanted but you had been with your kids from day one. Your essence should had infused with them.
You who created the ideal person who they wanted or hated to be. Your kids are your investment. Everyone has their own ideas of how to raise their children. End of the day only the product matters. How hard both of you grind yourself.
