Pengganti Aku
Raisa • From “ambiVert”
Pengganti Aku Lyrics Translation – ambiVert Soundtrack
Raisa sings about finding a replacement who mirrors her. The vocalist mentions hair, eyes, smile, and every move. The translated line asks, ‘Why did they have to be so similar to me?’
Beberapa bulan berlaluA few months have passed
Sejak pesan terakhirkuSince my last message
Berakhir di centang biruEnded on a blue tick
Kuanggap kita tak lagi satuI guess we’re no longer one.
Tak sengaja hari ituQuite by chance that day
Kulihat kau punya penggantikuI saw you’d found my replacement
Oh namun ada yang lucuOh, but there’s something funny
Dia mirip sekali dengankuShe looks just like me.
Rambutnya matanya senyumnya gerak-geriknyaHer hair, her eyes, her smile, her every move,
Ah-ahAh-ah,
Apa kau temukan aku dalam dirinyaDid you find me in her?
Ha-ahHa-ah.
Saat kau cariWhen you searched
PenggantiFor a replacement
Pengganti akuSomeone to replace me,
Mengapa harusWhy did they have to be
SerupaSo similar
Serupa dengankuSo similar to me?
Apa yang ada di dirinyaWhat is it about her
Yang tak kau temukan dalam dirikuThat you couldn’t find in me?
One two three fourOne two three four
Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh
Penggantiku penggantikuMy replacement, my replacement,
Kau serupa dengankuYou’re just like me.
Pilihan warnanya gaya bahkan suaranya ah-ahHer color choices, her style, even her voice, ah-ah,
Apa kau lihat diriku saat kau memandangnyaDo you see me when you look at her?
Ah-ahAh-ah.
Saat kau cariWhen you searched
PenggantiFor a replacement
Pengganti akuSomeone to replace me,
Mengapa harusWhy did they have to be
SerupaSo similar
Serupa dengankuSo similar to me?
Saat kau cariWhen you were searching
PenggantiFor a substitute
Pengganti akuSomeone to replace me,
Takkan lagi kau temukan sepertikuYou’ll never find another like me.
Mengapa harusWhy did they have to be
SerupaSo identical
Serupa dengankuSo identical to me?
Apa yang ada di dirinyaWhat is it about her
Ada di dirinyaThat she has within her
Yang tak kau temukan dalam dirikuThat you couldn’t find in me?
Apa yang ada di dirinyaWhat is it about her
DirinyaTruly her
Yang tak kau temukan dalam dirikuThat you couldn’t find in me?
Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh
Penggantiku penggantikuMy replacement, my replacement,
Kau serupa dengankuYou’re just like me.
