Menjaga Jodoh Orang Lain Meaning & Lyrics (Ara Johari)
Ilham Baso writes, ‘I’ve just been guarding someone else’s soulmate,’ a line that sums up the song’s theme. The songwriter describes the ache of watching someone you love fall into another’s arms, even after all your sacrifices. The words highlight the emptiness of giving everything for someone who moves on.
Aku yang ada untukmuI’m the one who was there for you,
Temani saat kau jatuhstaying by your side whenever you fell.
Walau ku harus pura-pura bahagiaEven if I had to fake my happiness,
Biar lihat senyummujust so I could see you smile.
Sia-sia pengorbananAll my sacrifices were in vain.
Aku hanya ada di saat kau butuhI was only around when you needed me.
Sakit, oh, sungguh sakit terasaIt hurts, oh, it feels so deeply painful,
Engkau goreskan lukaas you leave these wounds behind.
Kau jatuh di pelukannyaYou’ve fallen into another’s arms,
Padahal aku yang berjuangwhile I’m the one who fought for us.
Aku yang pahami, aku yang mengertiI’m the one who understood and cared,
Tapi ku yang tersisihbut I’m the one who’s been cast aside.
Aku seperti merasaI feel as if,
Menjaga jodoh orang lainI’ve just been guarding someone else’s soulmate.
Kamu yang di sana, aku yang di siniYou’re over there, and I’m over here,
Hanya bisa melihat, ho-oh-wosimply watching you from a distance.
(Sia-sia)(It’s all for nothing)
Sia-sia pengorbanan iniThis sacrifice was all in vain.
Kau jatuh di pelukannyaYou’ve landed in another’s embrace,
Padahal aku yang berjuangeven though I’m the one who struggled for you.
Aku yang pahami, aku yang mengertiI’m the one who knew you best,
Tapi ku yang tersisihyet I’m the one who’s left behind.
Kau jatuh di pelukannyaYou’ve fallen into another’s arms,
Padahal aku yang berjuangwhile I’m the one who fought for us.
Aku yang pahami, aku yang mengerti (mengerti)I was the one who understood (I understood),
Tapi ku yang tersisihbut I’m the one who’s been pushed away.
Aku seperti merasaI feel as if,
Menjaga jodoh orang lainI’ve just been guarding someone else’s soulmate.
Kamu yang di sana, aku yang di siniYou’re over there, and I’m right here,
Hanya bisa melihat (melihat)only able to watch (to watch you).
Kamu yang di sana, aku yang di siniYou’re over there, and I’m right here,
