Italian Girl Song*
By: Sitor Situmorang
Create Silviana Maccari
The lake in the morning
Italian hill church bells
When your season comes
Meet my brother in the bay of Naples
The lake in the morning
Italian hill church bells
Since brother then go
Brother miss every day
The lake in the morning
Italian hill church bells
If you don't come back
Brother waiting to die
Barren stone in the vineyard
Shady sand under the palm
Brother, my heart is broken
Chasing the shadows in the fall snow
Example 2:
Lifetime**
By: Candra Malik
You said you had been too patient.
But is there too much patience?
Or it turns out that you have a concussion in your head.
Until you can't even think about me?
Loving is a waiting activity.
It's not perfect if you're not bored.
Missing is a waste of time.
How much do you have left?
Your time is up, it seems.
You're fumbling for nothing.
I don't know why mine is still there.
Maybe because I was trying to forget.
For me love is never negligible.
Like it or not, it must last a lifetime.
Loving means willing to suffer.
Don't give up even if you can't.

Example 3:
Two Dots, One Line***
By: Candra Malik
In the beginning, we were two points apart
which love is bestowed with.
In the beginning, we were two dots
united in love so that they will no longer separate.
In essence, we live according to nature
then to love we finally emigrate.
Only to Him, we hope sakinah.
In His pleasure, we ask for mercy.
Fate has written
two points become one line.
What has been outlined
definitely united.
Thank you beyond measure for true love.
Thank you infinitely to the real Miss.
It has come to us written from the beginning.
Under by love: the greatest reason we were created.
