DEBU-DEBU INTAN Lyrics Translation Sajama Cut | COWABUNGA
The lyrics talk about staying close despite distance, with lines like ‘Stay with me, stay with the one who’s distant.’ Marcel Thee uses imagery of light and darkness to show the contrast between two souls. The phrase ‘Let me climb every single strand of your hair’ brings a vivid, tactile emotion to the song.
Temani aku, temani yang jauhStay with me, stay with the one who’s distant.
Temani aku, temani selaluStay with me, stay with me always.
Mengapa engkau bersinar (Oh oh, oh oh)Why are you shining (Oh oh, oh oh),
Di saat aku gelap (Oh oh, oh oh oh oh)while I’m in the dark? (Oh oh, oh oh oh oh)
