Keras Kepala
Meiska • From “Hanya Figuran”
Hanya Figuran’s Keras Kepala Indonesian Lyrics English Translation
The poet questions, ‘Is this love, or just a fleeting dream?’ This line captures the struggle of clinging to a relationship that’s already doomed. Meiska’s voice carries the weight of someone who’s tired of repeating the same mistakes but can’t seem to let go.
Mengapa terulang lagi kisah yang sama?Why is the same story repeating itself?
Jatuh di salah yang samaI’m falling into the same mistake,
Selalu jatuh cinta padanya yang tak cintaalways falling for someone who doesn’t love me back.
Namun, mengapa kupaksa?But why do I keep forcing it?
Apa ini cinta atau hanya sekedar maya?Is this really love, or just an illusion?
Apa rasa ini hanya sementara saja?Is this feeling only temporary?
Ku harus sadar diriI need to face the truth,
Tak harusnya beginiit shouldn’t be like this.
Masih keras kepala aku mencintaiI’m still so stubborn in my love,
Saat kau telah bilangeven though you’ve already told me,
Kita tak akan panjangthat we won’t last long.
Harusnya dari dulu ku hilangI should’ve walked away long ago.
(Kerasnya kepalaku) Ku pernah menjadi yang paling jatuh hati(My stubbornness) I was once the one who fell the hardest.
Tak pantaskah ku dicintai?Don’t I deserve to be loved?
Apa ini cinta atau hanya sekedar maya?Is this love, or just a fleeting dream?
Apa rasa ini hanya sementara saja?Is this feeling just a passing phase?
Ku harus sadar diriI must wake up,
Tak harusnya beginiit shouldn’t be this way.
Masih keras kepala aku mencintaiI’m still so stubborn in my love,
Saat kau telah bilangeven though you’ve already told me,
Kita tak akan panjangthat we won’t last long.
Harusnya dari dulu ku hilangI should’ve walked away long ago.
Wo-wo-wohWo-wo-woh.
Aku pernah menjadiI was once the one,
Yang paling keras jatuh hatiwho fell in love the most intensely.
Perjuangkan cinta tanpa hentiI fought for this love without stopping.
Namun, tak semua yang kuinginiBut not everything I want,
Bisa kumiliki meski patah hatican be mine, even if my heart breaks.
Ku harus sadar diriI have to realize,
Tak harusnya beginiit shouldn’t be like this.
Masih keras kepala aku mencintaiI’m still so stubborn in my love,
Saat kau telah bilangeven though you’ve already told me,
Kita tak akan panjangthat we won’t last long.
Harusnya dari dulu ku menghilangI should’ve disappeared long ago.
Ku hilang, menghilangI’m gone, just fading away.
Keras kepala (Masih ku mencintai)Being stubborn (I’m still in love).
(Rasa harusnya semua pergi) Saat kau telah bilang(These feelings should all be gone) Since you’ve already told me,
Kita takkan panjangwe won’t last long.
Harusnya dari dulu ku hilangI should’ve walked away long ago.
Mestinya dari dulu kauYou should’ve just,
Bilangtold me from the start.
