Malapetaka Meaning & Lyrics (Juicy Luicy)
The lyricists ask about heart turmoil with a direct line. ‘Is it a disaster or a happy story?’ shows their conflict. The poets describe tears and a missing ring.
Kemelut di dalam hati bertanyaThe turmoil in my heart keeps asking,
Katakan atau kusimpan baiknyashould I say it or is it better to keep it?
Setimpalkah bila ku pertaruhkanIs it worth it if I gamble
Semuanyaeverything?
Walau ku hafal di luar kepalaThough I’ve memorized it all by heart,
Perangai mata sebibir-bibirnyafrom the look in your eyes to your every word,
Tapi tetap tak bisa ku membacaI still can’t seem to read
Yang kau rasawhat you’re feeling
Tentang kitaabout us.
Alah malapetaka atau malah awalnyaIs it a disaster or perhaps the start
Kisah bahagiaof a happy story?
Teman selama-lamanya atau akan jadi bumerangku dan kau berbedaAre we friends forever, or will it backfire and make us drift apart?
Biar lusa ku lukaEven if I’m hurting the day after tomorrow,
Air turun dari mataand tears fall from my eyes,
Katakan yang sebenarnyatell me the truth.
KatakanTell me.
Kuramal besok pagi kau menghilangI predict you’ll vanish tomorrow morning,
Atau malah kau bilang bangun sayangor maybe you’ll say, “Wake up, darling.”
Tergantung malam ini keputusanIt depends on the decision made tonight,
Yang kau rasawhat you’re feeling
Tentang kitaabout us.
Alah malapetaka atau malah awalnyaIs it a disaster or perhaps the start
Kisah bahagiaof a happy story?
Teman selama-lamanya atau akan jadi bumerangku dan kau berbedaAre we friends forever, or will it backfire and make us drift apart?
Biar lusa ku lukaEven if I’m hurting the day after tomorrow,
Air turun dari mataand tears fall from my eyes,
Katakan yang sebenarnyatell me the truth.
Mi-re-do-re misalnya dia punya kekasihMi-re-do-re, for instance, if she has a lover,
Tapi tak ada cincin di jaribut there’s no ring on her finger.
Mi-re-do-re minusnya dia bisa pergiMi-re-do-re, the downside is she can just leave,
Tapi sampai kapankah beginibut how long can this go on?
Teman selama-lamanya atau akan jadiFriends forever, or will it become
Bumerangku dan kau berubaha boomerang that changes us?
Alah malapetakaOh, what a disaster,
Alih-alihnyainstead of what I’d hoped.
Kau tak pilihYou didn’t choose me.
SudahlahLet it be.
Teman selama-lamanya atau akan jadiFriends forever, or will it become
Bumerangku dan kau berbedaa boomerang that makes us drift apart?
Biar lusa ku lukaEven if I’m hurting the day after tomorrow,
Esok juga ku lupaI’ll forget about it by tomorrow.
Katakan yang sebenarnyaJust tell me the truth.
Apakah kau sukaDo you like me?
Atau kabar dukaOr is it bad news?
Paling tidak ku legaAt least I’ll be relieved.
Apakah kau sukaDo you like me?
Atau kabar dukaOr is it bad news?
Paling tidak ku legaAt least I’ll be relieved.
Suka atau dukaJoy or sorrow,
Uh-uhUh-uh.
Apakah kau sukaDo you like me?
Atau kabar dukaOr is it bad news?
Paling tidak ku legaAt least I’ll be relieved.
