Anna (Go to Him)

Anna (Go to Him)

Aku belum pernah denger lagu ini sebelumnya, padahal ngakunya sih fansnya The Beatles. Judulnya Anna (Go to Him).

Pertama kali denger lagu ini pas si pacar main ke Bandung dengan bawa dvd yang isinya foto-foto kita di Jogja (dari Alm. si Merah, hiks!) yang ternyata dimasukkin juga sama dia song book-nya The Beatles, komplit! Waah aku senang sekali. Maklum, kita berdua sama-sama menggilai cowok-cowok berpotongan bob itu.

Pertama kali denger lagu itu, aku sedih banget. Dan terkejut juga sebenernya. Apalagi waktu itu yang nyanyiin si pacar pake gitar. (Tambah mewek dah!) Gila, di zaman itu, jenius banget liriknya. Plus, dalem juga buat si pacar. Katanya sih, lagu itu udah sering dia nyanyiin waktu SMA gara-gara nggak kesampaian ngomong langsung sama orangnya. :P

Here it is...

Anna, you come and ask me girl
To set you free, girl
You say he loves you more than me

So I will set you free
Go with him, go with him

Anna, girl, before you go now
I want you to know now
That I still love you so
But if he loves you more, go with him

All of my life I've been searching for a girl
To love me like I love you oh, now
But every girl I've ever had breaks my heart

And leaves me sad, what am I
What am I suppose to do oh, oh, oh .....
Anna, just one more thing, girl
You give back your ring to me
And I will set you free, go with him

All of my life I've been searching for a girl
To love me like I love you
Cause let me tell you now
But every girl I've ever had breaks my heart

And leaves me sad, what am I
What am I suppose to do oh, oh, oh .....
Anna, just one more thing, girl
You give back your ring to me
And I will set you free,
Go with him, go with him
You can go with him, girl, go with him

Dan, ternyata oh ternyata, lagu ini bukanlah lagu asli karya The Beatles, tapi ditulis dan sempat dinyanyikan oleh Arthur Alexander. Karena John Lennon suka banget sama lagu ini, akhirnya diputuskan untuk dimasukkan ke dalam album Please, Please Me. Begitulah kira-kira. Oiya, judulnya emang Anna (Go to Him), bukan Anna (Go with Him) walaupun dinyanyikan dengan 'with'.

Yang sebenernya ganggu dari lagu ini, sebenernya adalah liriknya yang ini, "You give back your ring to me, and I will set you free, go with him." Why did you want her to give back your ring? Buat apa? Toh nggak akan dipake juga kan? Sebenernya bisa sih kalo mo dijual lagi, hemhem..

But anyway, i'm touched by the song, kesian kalo ada cowok kayak gitu. Kecuali lirik bagian itu.


Ney.

P.s: no, i don't wanna go with him or anyone else. I don't wanna go anywhere, i just wanna sit here with you listening to your guitar play. May i? :)
