One key line says, ‘I’ll search for a thousand other ways,’ showing stubborn hope. The songwriter turns whispers and glances into a lasting promise.
Ku masih ingat kala ituI still remember that moment,
Di akhir tahunat the end of the year,
Kita bertemuwhen we first met.
Dan kamu tinggalkan topi hitamAnd you left your black hat behind,
Sisakan helaileaving only a few strands
Rambut ikalmuof your curly hair.
Lama lama kita terbiasaEventually, we grew used to it,
Saling cinta namun rahasialoving each other, but it’s a secret.
Bila jalanku bukan dirimuIf my path doesn’t lead to you,
‘Kan ku cari cari beribu jalan lainI’ll search for a thousand other ways.
Ku jadikan kamu satu satunyaI’ll make you the only one,
Dalam ruang di hatikuin the space within my heart.
Banyak mata yang mencariMany eyes are watching us,
Kurangnya kamu tak pantas untuk dirikuclaiming your flaws make you unworthy of me.
Namun percayalah KasihBut believe me, my love,
Ku lagukan kisah kita selama iniI’ve been singing our story all this time.
Berbalas pesan lewat laguExchanging messages through song,
Merdu suaramuyour voice is so sweet,
Kini ku rinduand I miss it now.
Lama lama kita terbiasaOver time, we’ve grown accustomed,
Oh uhOh uh,
Saling cinta namun rahasialoving each other in total secret.
Bila jalanku bukan dirimuIf my path doesn’t lead to you,
