Title : Aku Yang Dulu Bukanlah Yang Sekarang
Singer : Tegar Septian
Composer : Tegar Septian
Year : 2013
This song, ‘Aku yang dulu bukanlah yang sekarang’, is sung
by Tegar Septian, a little singing beggar from Subang, West Java, Indonesia. It
is composed and written by Tegar himself. Tegar Septian is coming from a poor
family. To defrayed his family, Tegar often singing beggar on the edges of
road. Until one day, there is one guy, Alfas Hermanyah, who joins him in the XL
competition.
His song which is titled ‘Aku yang dulu bukanlah yang
sekarang’, tells about his life story and his dream in the future. Tegar mention
in his song that now his life is no longer difficult as before. It shows in the
lyrics below:
Aku yang dulu bukanlah yang
sekarang
Dulu ditendang sekarang ku disayang
Dulu dulu dulu ku menderita
Sekarang aku bahagia
Cita cita ku menjadi orang kaya
Dulu ku susah sekarang alhamdulillah
Bersyukurlah pada yang maha kuasa
Memberi jalan untuku semua
Dulu ditendang sekarang ku disayang
Dulu dulu dulu ku menderita
Sekarang aku bahagia
Cita cita ku menjadi orang kaya
Dulu ku susah sekarang alhamdulillah
Bersyukurlah pada yang maha kuasa
Memberi jalan untuku semua
In the lyrics, Tegar says that his life now is
changed. His dream to be a rich person now is come true. He feels happy because
he can defray his family, and help his parents. Since this song is famous, he
can duet with many popular singers such as Noah, Gamma 1, Setia, etc.
According to me, this song has lack and leftover. The
lack is, the song has the rhythm that is often repeated by Tegar, I think it
might make people bored to hear it straight away. On the other hand, this song
also has leftover. It can touch people’s heart that hear it, motivate people to
make their dreams come true, and always try hard. I recommended this song to
all of Indonesian people. You should hear this song, because you will feel how
pain the life is, and understand what the life is means exactly.
