Born This Way : Karena Kita Terlahir Sebagai Sang Bintang

Lagi-lagi saya akan menulis tentang lagu yang beberapa hari ini menjadi favoritku, Born this way. Lagu teranyar dari penyanyi super nyentrik, Lady Gaga ini telah memikat hati saya.

Born this way. Saya mendengar lagu ini ketika perhelatan Grammy beberapa hari lalu. Setelah itu saya langsung mencari MP3 gratisnya dan mencoba lyricsnya. Setelah menyimak dengan seksama dan mendengarkan dengan seriusnya, akhirnya saya memutuskan, ini akan menjadi lagu favorit saya minggu ini.

Tidak ada yang istimewa sebenarnya dengan lagu ini, inti lagunya juga hampir sama dengan lagu favorit saya dari Christina Aguilera, Beautiful.

Lagu ini bercerita tentang bagaimana kita harus menghargai diri sendiri.

Dalam lagu ini Gaga bercerita, bahwa kita terlahir di dunia ini sebagai bintang. Karenanya, tak layak kiranya kita menghakimi diri sendiri bahwa kita tak berarti hanya karena ada kekurangan dalam diri. Tidak sempurna memang sudah kodrat manusia, karena hanya Tuhan saja yang bisa sempurna. Kita sebagai manusia, wajar dong jika punya kekurangan.

Tapi dari kekurangan itu tidak harus membuat berkecil hati, mengunci dalam kamar, tidak mau bersosialisasi dengan orang lain. Lebih-lebih sampai kepikiran bunuh diri. Nggak boleh itu!

Selain itu, seperti kataku tadi, bahwa lagu ini punya kesamaan isi dengan milik Christina Aguelira - Beautiful, dalam lagu Born This Way punya Lady Gaga ini juga menyampaikan pesan tentang kaum minoritas yang akhir-akhir ini banyak diperbincangkan, Yakni pesan tentang Homoseksual.

Ini diperkuat dengan lyricnya di awal lagu, H-I-M. Tiga huruf ini ada yang menyatakan kalau penyebutan itu berhubungan dengan masalah keagamaan, berarti Tuhan. Ada juga yang menyebut bahwa ini tentang sebutan pasangan sejenis.

Terlepas dari benar tidaknya anggapan itu, tapi lagu Born This Way ini menghibur serta menyadarkan kita tentang arti mencintai dan menghargai diri sendiri. Seperti judul postingan ini, Karena kita terlahir sebagai sang bintang!

Lady GaGa - Born This Way

It doesn't matter if you love him, or capital H-I-M
Just put your paws up
'Cause you were born this way, baby

My mama told me when I was young
We are all born superstars
She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
In the glass of her boudoir
"There's nothin wrong with lovin who you are"
She said, "'cause he made you perfect, babe"
"So hold your head up girl and you'll go far,
Listen to me when I say"

I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way
Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way

Ooo there ain't no other way
Baby I was born this way
Baby I was born this way
Ooo there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born this way
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way

Don't be a drag - just be a queen
Don't be a drag - just be a queen
Don't be a drag - just be a queen
Don't be!

Give yourself prudence
And love your friends
Subway kid, rejoice your truth
In the religion of the insecure
I must be myself, respect my youth
A different lover is not a sin
Believe capital H-I-M (hey hey hey)
I love my life I love this record and
Mi amore vole fe yah (love needs faith)

Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Whether you're broke or evergreen
You're black, white, beige, chola descent
You're lebanese, you're orient
Whether life's disabilities
Left you outcast, bullied, or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
'Cause baby you were born this way
No matter gay, straight, or bi,
Lesbian, transgendered life
I'm on the right track baby
I was born to survive
No matter black, white or beige
Chola or orient made
I'm on the right track baby
I was born to be brave




I was born this way hey!
I was born this way hey!
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way hey!

I was born this way hey!
I was born this way hey!
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way hey!

Beautiful - Christina Aguilera

Don't look at me

Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, i saw debris
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain, I'm so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today

To all your friends, you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone left the puzzle undone
That's the way it is

You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down
Don't you bring me down today...

No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what they say
(no matter what they say)
When the sun is shining through
Then the clouds won't stay


And everywhere we go
(everywhere we go)
The sun won't always shine
(sun won't always shine)
But tomorrow will find a way
All the other times

'cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down, oh no
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down
Don't you bring me down today

Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today
