You call me by my name, the one my mama gave meYou call me by my name, the one my mama gave me.

Aku tak biasa makan malam this lateI’m not used to eating dinner this late.
Kamu terbiasa makan tanpa waktu insteadYou’re used to eating at all hours instead.
Kau dan aku berbedaYou and I are different,
Oh, dirimu sungguh berbedaoh, you’re truly different.
Ha-ahHa-ah.
Kepedihan di balik senyumanThere’s a deep pain behind your smile,
Rasa pahit yang sendiri kau tahankan, diamkana bitterness that you’ve endured and kept silent on your own.
Kau dulukan, juga kau tangguhkanYou put everyone else first, while holding your own feelings back.
