JAKARTA – Lagu “Young and Beautiful” milik Lana Del Rey yang juga menjadi salah satu soundtrack dalam film The Great Gatsby (2013) menceritakan tentang kecemasan akan kefanaan masa muda dan kecantikan, serta kerinduan akan cinta yang tulus dan abadi.
Melalui liriknya yang melankolis, Lana bertanya apakah cinta akan tetap bertahan meski daya tarik fisik memudar, mencerminkan kerentanan manusia terhadap perubahan waktu dan keinginan untuk dicintai apa adanya selamanya.
Lagu ini menjadi ode yang indah dan tragis tentang cinta, kehidupan, dan keabadian.

Lirik lagu Young and Beautiful – Lana Del Rey
I’ve seen the world, done it all
Had my cake now
Diamonds, brilliant, and Bel Air now
Hot summer nights, mid-July
When you and I were forever wild
The crazy days, city lights
The way you’d play with me like a child
Will you still love me when I’m no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will, I know that you will
Will you still love me when I’m no longer beautiful?
I’ve seen the world, lit it up as my stage now
Channeling angels in the new age now
Hot summer days, rock and roll
The way you’d play for me at your show
And all the ways I got to know
Your pretty face and electric soul
Will you still love me when I’m no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will, I know that you will
Will you still love me when I’m no longer beautiful?
Dear Lord, when I get to Heaven
Please, let me bring my man
When he comes, tell me that You’ll let him in
Father, tell me if You can
All that grace, all that body
All that face makes me wanna party
He’s my sun, he makes me shine like diamonds
And will you still love me when I’m no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me when I got nothin’ but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will, I know that you will
Will you still love me when I’m no longer beautiful?
Will you still love me when I’m no longer beautiful?
Will you still love me when I’m not young and beautiful?
*(Raihan Fadilah/ANTARA)
