Apik Lyrics Translation – Gilga Sahid
The lyricist mentions cold wind wrapping the body to describe emotional distance. A key line says, ‘We met on good terms, so we’re parting ways on good terms too.’ This repeated phrase becomes a gentle promise, not of love lasting, but of respect remaining.
Godhane angin wengi iki wengi ikiThe temptation of the night wind tonight, oh tonight,
Adheme ngekep raga ikiIts coldness embraces my body.
Kabeh merga masalah atiIt’s all because of matters of the heart,
Apa ana sing rung mari sing rung mariOr perhaps something that hasn’t healed yet.
Karepku wis isa padha ngerteniI hope we’ve both come to understand,
Beda ati wis beda artiThat different hearts now mean different things.
Aku kowe aja padha nyalahkeYou and I shouldn’t go on blaming each other,
Wis garise urip dhewe dheweFor our life paths have already diverged.
Padha legawane ha ah ha ahLet’s both be big-hearted, ha ah ha ah,
Dibuwang gengsineAnd throw away our pride.
Wis padha gedhene padha dewasaneWe’re both grown up and mature now,
Njur ayo dipikirke ben padha apikeSo let’s think it through for the best of us both.
Ra perlu dijelaske kowe wis ngerti dheweThere’s no need to explain, as you already know,
Alasanku ninggalkeThe reason why I’m leaving.
Wis padha gedhene padha dewasaneWe’re both grown up and mature now,
Bubaran ya bubaran aja nganti tukaranIf we’re breaking up, let’s just break up without fighting.
Awak dhewe kenal apik tau dadi apikWe met on good terms and we used to be good together,
Pisahe apik apikSo let’s part ways on good terms too.
Rasah tukaranThere’s no need to fight,
Rasah nggolek pembelaanAnd no need to look for excuses.
Hoo oh oh oh hoo ye saling memaafkanHoo oh oh oh hoo ye, let’s forgive each other,
Awak dhewe kenal apikWe met on good terms,
Pisahe ya apik apikSo we’re parting ways on good terms too.
Ha ah ah ah ha ah ah ah ahHa ah ah ah ha ah ah ah ah.
Karepku wis isa padha ngerteniI hope we’ve both come to understand,
Beda ati wis beda artiThat different hearts now mean different things.
Aku kowe aja padha nyalahkeYou and I shouldn’t go on blaming each other,
Wis garise urip dhewe dheweFor our life paths have already diverged.
Padha legawane ha ahLet’s both be big-hearted, ha ah,
Dibuwang gengsineAnd throw away our pride.

Awak dhewe kenal apik tau dadi apikWe met on good terms and we used to be good together,
Pisahe apik apikSo let’s part ways on good terms too.
Awak dhewe kenal apik tau dadi apikWe met on good terms and we used to be good together,
Pisahe apik apikSo let’s part ways on good terms too.
