Gelang Meaning & Lyrics (The Marsoedi)
The lyricist mentions ‘two elements bonded as one,’ describing a connection that stays strong even in grief. The full moonlight symbolizes hope, guiding the way out of misery. The poet crafts a story of two souls finding comfort in each other.
Gema rindu menderaEchoes of longing torment me
Lelah sudah jiwa menerka-nerkaMy soul’s grown weary of guessing
Terbungkus dalam harapan yang usangWrapped in hopes that’ve turned stale
Bimbang kian membentangDoubt’s stretching further out,
Tak kunjung menghilangRefusing to fade away
Selang masa kutanggalkan segalanyaOver time, I’ve cast it all aside
Kuterima bila derau terlampau sudahI’d accept if the noise became too much,
Namun hadirmu menyajikan ruangYet your presence provides a sanctuary
Tempat ‘tuk berpulangA place where I can come home
Dari semua genderangAway from all the drums’ roar
Kita adalah dua zat yang senyawaWe’re two elements bonded as one
Terdampar di tepian laraStranded on the edge of grief
Tak terjamahLeft untouched,
Tenggelam mendekam hingga di palung terdalamSinking and lingering in the deepest trench
Cahaya purnama terangi jalannyaFull moonlight illuminates the path,
Lembah nestapa lekaslah musnahMay this valley of misery quickly perish
Di penghujung malam di balik tirai temaramAt night’s end, behind the twilight curtain,
Kala kita saling menemukanAs we find each other
Kita adalah dua zat yang senyawaWe’re two elements bonded as one
Terdampar di tepian laraStranded on the edge of grief
Tak terjamahLeft untouched,
Tenggelam mendekam hingga di palung terdalamSinking and lingering in the deepest trench
Cahaya purnama terangi jalannyaFull moonlight illuminates the path,
Lembah nestapa lekaslah musnahMay this valley of misery quickly perish
Di penghujung malam di balik tirai temaramAt night’s end, behind the twilight curtain
Uh-uh-uhUh-uh-uh
KitaWe
KitaWe
Adalah dua zat yang senyawaAre two elements bonded as one
Terdampar di tepian laraStranded on the edge of grief
Tak terjamahLeft untouched,
Tenggelam mendekam hingga di palung terdalamSinking and lingering in the deepest trench
Cahaya purnama terangi jalannyaFull moonlight illuminates the path,
Lembah nestapa lekaslah musnahMay this valley of misery quickly perish
Di penghujung malam di balik tirai temaramAt night’s end, behind the twilight curtain,
Kala kita saling menemukanAs we find each other
Dua insan saling menyembuhkanTwo souls healing one another
Hingga raga habis tak sersisaUntil our physical selves are no more
