Stone highway to the lake

Going by Tarutang and Siantar

there are two new highways

to the lake.

I know it

Going by Tarutang and Siantar

there are two stone highways

to you.

I know it

Coming from Tarutang and Siantar

there are two adventurous highways

from your bosom.

I’ve gone that way

Coming from Tarutang and Siantar

there are two nostalgic highways

remembering you.

I know nothing about it.
