Balonku Ada Lima (Robby’s version)

Balonku ada lima.
Rupa-rupa warnanya.
Merah putih kelabu,
……….. Dan biru!

Balonku ada lima…. DOR!
Balonku tinggal empat.
Kupegang erat-erat,
Supaya ngga meledak.

My (over) analysis:
Singing this nursery song must have been very traumatic for him to block out the color of the balloon that later supposedly exploded. He didn’t even want to express how upset he feels (hatiku sangat kacau) and block out that part too. Awwww….

But then again… Have you ever thought there’s something wrong with the song? The fourth color is supposed to be hijau muda or light green. But what exploded was a green balloon. Hm.

As for the yellow balloon being replaced with white.. I’m not sure. Me thinks that’s just his brain thinking merah putih makes more sense cos we have lots of Indonesian national songs with merah putih (the flag colors) in them.

Anyhow do I end up with four or five balloons? Eh?
