Mau Bilang Apa Lyrics Translation (from “Magic 5”)
The lyrics repeat ‘What can I say’ like a person stuck in their thoughts, unable to move on. The songwriter mentions pouring their heart out to the stars and whispering a name in sleep, showing quiet desperation. These small actions—leaving a heart in someone’s hands, packing sadness alone—make the pain feel real and close.
Mau bilang apaWhat can I say
Mau bilang apaWhat can I say
Mau bilang apaWhat can I say
Mau bilang apaWhat can I say
Mau bilang apaWhat can I say
Mau bilang apaWhat can I say
Mencinta tapi tak dicintaLoving someone who doesn’t love me back
Merindu tak berbalas rinduLonging for a love that’s unreturned
Buramkan mata tapi aku jugaMy eyes grow blurry, yet I still
Masih titipkan hatiku padamuleave my heart in your hands.
Kepada bintang aku mengaduI pour my heart out to the stars,
Dalam tidurpun kusebut namamuand even in my sleep, I whisper your name.
Bila memang kita takkan bersatuIf we’re truly never going to be together,
Tak perlu lagi kuingat dirimuI shouldn’t bother remembering you anymore.
Musim yang t’lah bergantiThe seasons have already shifted,
Ku masih saja menanti yang tak pastiyet I’m still waiting for something uncertain.
Karena cinta sudah suratanBecause love is already written in fate,
Bukanlah jodohand we weren’t meant to be.
Mau bilang apaWhat can I say?
Biarkan saja biarI’ll just let it be, let it…
Hati patah kukemas sedih sendiriWith a broken heart, I’ll pack up this sadness alone.
Tak mengapa sudah suratanIt’s alright, it’s already destiny.
Bukanlah jodohWe weren’t meant to be.
Mau bilang apaWhat can I say?
Mau bilang apaWhat can I say
Mau bilang apaWhat can I say
Mau bilang apaWhat can I say
Mau bilang apaWhat can I say
Mau bilang apaWhat can I say
Mau bilang apaWhat can I say
Mencinta tapi tak dicintaLoving someone who doesn’t love me back
Merindu tak berbalas rinduLonging for a love that isn’t returned
Bila memang kita takkan bersatuIf we’re truly never going to be together,
Tak perlu lagi kuingat dirimuI shouldn’t bother remembering you anymore.
Musim yang t’lah bergantiThe seasons have already shifted,
Ku masih saja menanti yang tak pastiyet I’m still waiting for something uncertain.
Karena cinta sudah suratanBecause love is already written in fate,
Bukanlah jodohand we weren’t meant to be.
Mau bilang apaWhat can I say?
Biarkan saja biarI’ll just let it be, let it…
Hati patah kukemas sedih sendiriWith a broken heart, I’ll pack up this sadness alone.
Tak mengapa sudah suratanIt’s alright, it’s already destiny.
Bukanlah jodohWe weren’t meant to be.
Mau bilang apaWhat can I say?
Cinta mengapa begitu rumitWhy is love so complicated?
Seolah aku tak berhakAs if I don’t have the right
Mendapatkan cintato be loved.
Musim yang t’lah bergantiThe seasons have already shifted,
Ku masih saja menanti yang tak pastiyet I’m still waiting for something uncertain.
Karena cinta sudah suratanBecause love is already written in fate,
Bukanlah jodohand we weren’t meant to be.
Mau bilang apa mau bilang apaWhat can I say, what can I say?
Biarkan saja biarI’ll just let it be, let it…
Hati patah kukemas sedih sendiriWith a broken heart, I’ll pack up this sadness alone.
Tak mengapa sudah suratanIt’s alright, it’s already destiny.
