Question

Every inch of me is trembling 
But not from the cold 
Something is familiar 
Like a dream I can reach but not quite hold 
I can sense you there 
Like a friend I've always known 
I'm arriving 
And it feels like I am home

I have always been a fortress 
Cold secrets deep inside 
You have secrets, too 
But you don't have to hide

Show yourself 
I'm dying to meet you 
Show yourself 
It's your turn 
Are you the one I've been looking for 
All of my life? 
Show yourself 
I'm ready to learn 
Ah-ah, ah-ah 
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

I've never felt so certain 
All my life I've been torn 
But I'm here for a reason 
Could it be the reason I was born? 
I have always been so different 
Normal rules did not apply 
Is this the day? 
Are you the way 
I finally find out why? 
Show yourself 
I'm no longer trembling 
Here I am 
I've come so far 
You are the answer I've waited for 
All of my life 
Oh, show yourself 
Let me see who you are

Come to me now 
Open your door 
Don't make me wait 
One moment more

Oh, come to me now 
Open your door 
Don't make me wait 
One moment more

Where the north wind meets the sea 
There's a river 
Full of memory 
Come, my darling, homeward bound 
I am found
 
Show yourself 
Step into the power 
Throw yourself 
Into something new 
You are the one you've been waiting for 
All of my life 
Oh, show yourself

Hai, Siti. Kakak bantu jawab, ya.

Jawabannya adalah:
C. The "I" really wants to meet you.

Yuk, simak penjelasan berikut!
Teks di atas adalah lirik lagu "Show Yourself"  yang dinyanyikan dengan syahdu oleh Idina Menzel dan merupakan "theme song" dari film "Frozen II", yang dirilis tahun 2019 lalu.

Pertanyaan:
"I'm dying to meet you."
What does this lyric mean?
("I'm dying to meet you."
Apakah arti lirik ini?)

Pembahasan:
Pada lirik lagu maupun puisi, ada kalanya kita jumpai serangkaian kata yang tak bisa diartikan secara harafiah tetapi kata-kata tersebut memiliki makna yang tersirat di dalamnya.
Rangkaian kata-kata itulah disebut dengan: Idiom.

Keberadaan idiom dapat memperindah susunan kata pada kalimat dan mewakili ekspresi tertentu.
Pertanyaan pada soal di atas adalah tentang idiom:
"dying to meet someone."
Tentu saja kata-kata tersebut tidak kita artikan secara harafiah.
Arti dari: "I'm dying to meet you." = Aku sangat ingin berjumpa denganmu.

Kalimat yang semakna dengan "I'm dying to meet you" adalah "I really want to meet you."

Sehingga pilihan jawaban yang paling tepat untuk pertanyaan di atas adalah:
C. The "I" really wants to meet you.
(Sosok "aku" sangat ingin berjumpa denganmu.)

Semoga membantu, ya.
Terima kasih sudah bertanya di roboguru.

Ps. Koreksi pilihan jawaban:
C. The "I" really wants to meet you. ✔
D. The "I" almost dies to meet you. ✔
Kedua pilihan jawaban tersebut menggunakan verb1 maka seharusnya tanpa diikuti "to be: is/am/are".
