Esok dan esok dan esok
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
Hari ke hari merambah dalam kepicikan
Day to day, rummaging in pettiness
Sampai tiba ujung akhir dimana waktu tercatat
Till the end comes, as transcribed in time
Dan segala yang terjadi kemarin
And everything that happened yesterday
Terangnya memikat orang-orang bodoh
Bright lights attracting foolish men
Menuju kematian yang sia-sia
Towards meaningless death
Pergilah, pergilah wahai cahaya yang sekejap
Away, away O fleeting light
Hidup bagaikan satu lembar boneka wayang
Life is like a strip of wayang puppet
Sepintas berjingkrak-jingkrak, berkeluh-kesah
At a glance prancing about, sighing / lamenting
Lalu hilang tanpa suara
Vanishes without a sound
Suatu dongeng persis orang konyol
A tale precisely that of an absurd man
Berteriak-teriak penuh dengan kemarahan
Shouting, fuming in anger
Intinya kosong tanpa arti
His essence is empty nothingness
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
~ Macbeth
