Jakarta (ANTARA) – Lagu “Million Years Ago” yang dirilis oleh diva pop asal Inggris Adele Adkins dalam album “25” pada 2015 sempat dihadapkan pada kontroversi plagiarisme, dengan gugatan hukum oleh komponis Toninho Geraes di Brasil menuduhnya menjiplak lagu samba “Mulheres” yang direkam oleh Martinho da Bila pada 1995.
Lagu “Million Years Ago” oleh Adele, diproduseri oleh Greg Kurstin, merupakan balada yang mengungkapkan kerinduan Adele akan masa lalu sebelum ketenaran, termasuk sebelum kehilangan ibunya dan perubahan dinamika pertemanan.
Lagu yang ditulis oleh Adele dan diproduksi bersama Greg produsernya itu bercerita tentang kesepian yang dirasakan seseorang karena perubahan perlakuan orang-orang terhadapnya setelah terkenal.
Lagu itu hingga kini telah ditonton lebih dari 22,4 juta kali pemutaran di Youtube.
Lirik lagu “Million Years Ago” sebagai berikut:
I only wanted to have fun
Learning to fly, learning to run
I let my heart decide the way
When I was young
Deep down, I must have always known
That this would be inevitable
To earn my stripes, I’d have to pay
And bare my soul
I know I’m not the only one
Who regrets the things they’ve done
Sometimes I just feel it’s only me
Who can’t stand the reflection that they see
I wish I could live a little more
Look up to the sky, not just the floor
I feel like my life is flashing by
And all I can do is watch and cry
I miss the air, I miss my friends
I miss my mother, I miss it when
Life was a party to be thrown
But that was a million years ago
When I walk around all of the streets
Where I grew up and found my feet
They can’t look me in the eye
It’s like they’re scared of me
I try to think of things to say
Like a joke or a memory
But they don’t recognize me now
In the light of day
I know I’m not the only one
Who regrets the things they’ve done
Sometimes I just feel it’s only me
Who never became who they thought they’d be
I wish I could live a little more
Look up to the sky, not just the floor
I feel like my life is flashing by
And all I can do is watch and cry
I miss the air, I miss my friends
I miss my mother, I miss it when
Life was a party to be thrown
But that was a million years ago
A million years ago
