Life is old...

Question

Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze

[Chorus]
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

[Verse 2]
All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eyes

[Chorus]
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

[Bridge]
I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday

Halo, Fitrian! Kakak bantu jawab, ya. :)

Jawabannya adalah: the life there is growing slowly but surely.

Soal menanyakan makna dari "growing like a breeze" dalam lirik lagu tersebut.

Secara umum lagu tersebut menceritakan tentang kerinduan si penulis/penyanyi kepada kampung halamannya Virginia Barat. Pada baik pertama tertulis: "Life is old there, older than the trees, Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze" yang berarti: "Kehidupan di sana sudah tua, lebih tua dari pepohonan, tak setua pegunungan, berkembang bak angin sepoi."

Frasa "growing like a breeze" merupakan bahasa kiasan. "Breeze" secara harfiah berarti "angin semilir/sepoi-sepoi". Keberadaan angin semilir terasa pelan, namun pasti dan semua orang dapat merasakannya. Dalam lirik tersebut, si penulis menggambarkan kehidupan di Virginia Barat terus berkembang, perlahan namun pasti.

Oleh karena itu, jawabannya adalah: the life there is growing slowly but surely.

Semoga terbantu dan tetap semangat belajar, ya. :)
