The poet mentions butterflies to describe the fluttering excitement of love. ‘Listen to the butterflies talking, making a noise in my chest,’ the lyrics say, comparing love to a fluttering, lively force. Tiara Andini’s voice carries the warmth of a heart that’s both hopeful and helpless.
Betapa mudahnya kau buat pipi meronaIt’s so easy for you to make my cheeks blush,
Jantungku terpompa setiap kita berjumpamy heart races every time we meet.
Tak pernah ku rasa tak berdayaI’ve never felt this helpless,
Tanpa bual kata kataeven without exchanging any words,
Hatiku terbaca hatimulah yang kupujamy heart reveals that it’s you I adore.
Wahai cinta beri pertandaOh love, give me a sign,
Dengar kupu kupu yang bicaralisten to the butterflies talking,
Bisingkan dadamaking a noise in my chest,
Melantunkan nada asmarasinging the melody of romance.
Andai cinta setangkai bungaIf love were a single flower,
Takkan buat kau layu dan kecewait wouldn’t make you wither and feel disappointed,
‘kan kujaga binar hatinyaI’ll protect the sparkle within its heart.
Betapa murahnya kau buat hati meranaHow effortlessly you make my heart ache,
Sesaat tak jumpa jantungku hilang iramamy heart loses its rhythm the moment we’re apart.
Tak pernah ku rasa tak berdayaI’ve never felt this helpless,
Tanpa bual kata kataeven without exchanging any words,
Hatiku terbaca hatimulah yang kupujamy heart reveals that it’s you I adore.
Wahai cinta beri pertandaOh love, give me a sign,
Dengar kupu kupu yang bicaralisten to the butterflies talking,
Bisingkan dadamaking a noise in my chest,
Melantunkan nada asmarasinging the melody of romance.
Andai cinta setangkai bungaIf love were a single flower,
Takkan buat kau layu dan kecewait wouldn’t make you wither and feel disappointed,
‘kan kujaga binar hatinyaI’ll protect the sparkle within its heart.
Jangan hentikan kepak sayapmuDon’t stop flapping your wings,
Sintas hinggapi permai hatikusurvive and land on my beautiful heart.
Jaga bara kau jadi apikuKeep the embers burning so you become my fire,
Sinyal menyala di radar hatikuas a signal lights up on my heart’s radar.
Wahai cinta beri pertandaOh love, give me a sign,
Dengar kupu kupu yang bicaralisten to the butterflies talking,
Bisingkan dadamaking a noise in my chest,
Melantunkan nada asmarasinging the melody of romance.
Andaikan cinta setangkai bungaIf love were a single flower,
Takkan buat kau layu dan kecewait wouldn’t make you wither and feel disappointed,
‘kan kujaga binar hatinyaI’ll protect the sparkle within its heart.
Cinta beri pertandaLove, give me a sign,
Kupu kupu yang bicarathe butterflies are talking,
Bisingkan dadamaking a noise in my chest,
Melantunkan nada asmarasinging the melody of romance.
Andai cinta setangkai bungaIf love were a single flower,
Takkan buat kau layu dan kecewait wouldn’t make you wither and feel disappointed,
‘kan kujaga binar hatinyaI’ll protect the sparkle within its heart,
‘kan kujaga binar hatinyaI’ll protect the sparkle within its heart.
‘Kupu – Kupu’ is about the excitement and nervousness of young love. The lyrics use butterflies as a metaphor for the overwhelming emotions that come with falling for someone. Tiara Andini delivers this message beautifully in the Indonesian language.
