HALU
Maulana Ardiansyah
HALU Lyrics Translation – Maulana Ardiansyah
Maulana Ardiansyah notes how her smile makes him blush and look away. The lyrics mention, ‘This is the very first time I’ve seen a woman just like you.’ He prays for protection if she is meant for him, or complete forgetfulness if not. The repeated plea shows his inner conflict between hope and surrender.
Saat pertama berjumpaWhen we first met,
Aku sudah punya rasaI already felt a spark,
Ingin memiliki dan mendapatkanwanting to hold and to win
Hatimuyour heart.
Begitu anggun sikapmuYour presence is so graceful,
Indah paras wajahmuand your face is so beautifully made,
Membuat diriku jatuh cintamaking me fall so deeply in love
Kepadamuwith you.
Jika di takdirkan dia untukuIf she’s truly destined for me,
Akan ku jaga seumur hidupkuI’ll protect her for the rest of my life.
Jika memang dia bukan jodohkuBut if she isn’t my soulmate,
Oh tuhan hapus dia dari ingatankuoh Lord, erase her from my memory.
Senyum manis di bibirmuThat sweet smile on your lips
Membuat ku tersipu malumakes me blush and turn away.
Baru kali ini kulihat wanitaThis is the very first time I’ve seen a woman
Sepertimujust like you.
Jika di takdirkan dia untukuIf she’s truly destined for me,
Akan ku jaga seumur hidupkuI’ll protect her for the rest of my life.
Jika memang dia bukan jodohkuBut if she isn’t my soulmate,
Oh tuhan hapus dia dari ingatankuoh Lord, erase her from my memory.
Jika di takdirkan dia untukuIf she’s truly destined for me,
Akan ku jaga seumur hidupkuI’ll protect her for the rest of my life.
Jika memang dia bukan jodohkuBut if she isn’t my soulmate,
Oh tuhan hapus dia dari ingatankuoh Lord, erase her from my memory.
Jika di takdirkan dia untukuIf she’s truly destined for me,
Akan ku jaga seumur hidupkuI’ll protect her for the rest of my life.
Jika memang dia bukan jodohkuBut if she isn’t my soulmate,
Oh tuhan hapus dia dari ingatankuoh Lord, erase her from my memory.
Tulus hati ini mengharapkanmuMy sincere heart longs for you,
Menemani sampai di masa tuakuto stay by my side until we grow old.
Tulus hati ini menginginkanmuMy sincere heart truly desires you,
Tapi semua itu hanyalah halubut it’s all just a beautiful delusion.
