Alyph • From “The Storm”
Ingat Lyrics Meaning Alyph | The Storm
Magic Potions writes about sneaking takeout into cinemas and driving on north-bound highways, painting small moments that once meant everything. The line ‘her presence is as beautiful as poetry’ sums up the warmth of early love. ALYPH sings these words with a tenderness that makes the past feel vivid again.
Kau kata kau nampak aku tengok dari jauh kau rasa tergangguYou said you saw me watching from afar and felt uneasy,
Aku kata aku tak berani mengejar apa yang aku mahuI said I didn’t have the courage to chase what I wanted.
Kau kata kau tak percaya aku boleh buat kau tunggu macam tuYou said you couldn’t believe I’d keep you waiting like that,
Aku ingat masa aku jatuh cinta denganmuI remember the moment I fell in love with you.
Cam manaHow is it
Dalam banyak orang aku dengannyathat out of everyone, I’m here with her,
Penampilannya seindah bahasaher presence is as beautiful as poetry,
Kehadirannya memberi tenagaand being near her gives me strength.
DamansaraIn ‘Damansara’,
Dinner datesdinner dates,
Masuk cinema bawak take awaysneaking takeout into the cinema,
Masa tu masa bersama lebihback then, our time together was more
Berharga daripada harga duitprecious than any amount of money.
Memandu lebuh raya ke arah utaraDriving up the north-bound highway,
Dia nak bawak aku jumpa keluargashe wanted to take me to meet the family,
Leganya apabila aku diterimawhat a relief it was to be accepted,
Kalau ada jam pagi raya pun takpaI wouldn’t even mind the ‘Hari Raya’ morning traffic jams.
Ada banyak yang aku nak ceritakanThere’s so much I want to tell you,
Ada banyak soalan dan perasaanso many questions and feelings,
Hanya kau yang akan fahamonly you would truly understand,
Boleh tak kita mula dari mulacan we just start over from the beginning?
Kau kata kau nampak aku tengok dari jauh kau rasa tergangguYou said you saw me watching from afar and felt uneasy,
Aku kata aku tak berani mengejar apa yang aku mahuI said I didn’t have the courage to chase what I wanted.
Kau kata kau tak percaya aku boleh buat kau tunggu macam tuYou said you couldn’t believe I’d keep you waiting like that,
Aku ingat masa aku jatuh cinta denganmuI remember the moment I fell in love with you,
Aku ingat masa aku jatuh cinta denganmuI recall when I first fell for you,
Aku ingat masa aku jatuh cinta denganmuI still remember falling in love with you.
Beberapa tahun kemudianA few years later,
Pabila kita mula mengejar impianas we both started chasing our dreams,
Aku mula sibuk dengan tugasan kerjaI got caught up in my work duties,
Sementara kau pula sibuk dengan uni final yearwhile you were buried in your final year of university,
Bila kita bersama perasaannya tak samawhen we were together, it just didn’t feel the same,
Dulu senang tapi sekarang macam nak kena paksait used to be easy, but now it feels forced,
Tiba hari kita dua terima kenyataanthe day came when we both had to face reality,
Berputus tu kali terakhir kita berdepanbreaking up was the last time we stood face to face.
Kau masih kelihatan seperti kali pertama kita bertemuYou still look just like you did the first time we met,
Kau telah buat keputusan yang baik dengan hidup yang baruyou’ve made the right choice with your new life,
Wajah tiga-tiga cahaya matamu serupa denganmuyour three children’s faces look exactly like yours,
Dia angguk dia setuju dan kata padakushe nods in agreement and says to me.
Ada banyak yang aku nak ceritakanThere’s so much I want to tell you,
Ada banyak soalan dan perasaanso many questions and feelings,
Hanya kau yang akan fahamonly you would truly understand,
Boleh tak kita mula dari mulacan we just start over from the beginning?
Kau kata kau nampak aku tengok dari jauh kau rasa tergangguYou said you saw me watching from afar and felt uneasy,
Aku kata aku tak berani mengejar apa yang aku mahuI said I didn’t have the courage to chase what I wanted.
Kau kata kau tak percaya aku boleh buat kau tunggu macam tuYou said you couldn’t believe I’d keep you waiting like that,
Aku ingat masa aku jatuh cinta denganmuI remember the moment I fell in love with you,
Aku ingat masa aku jatuh cinta denganmuI recall when I first fell for you,
Aku ingat masa aku jatuh cinta denganI still remember falling in love with…
