Rumah Singgah Lyrics Translation Fabio Asher | ASHER
The poet mentions a ‘temporary refuge,’ a phrase that captures the essence of being needed only in moments of despair. Fabio Asher sings about wiping away tears, only to be forgotten when happiness returns. The lyrics ask, ‘Why is it so hard for me to win your heart?’
Saat hatimu terlukaWhen your heart was hurting,
Akulah yang menemanimuI was the one who stayed by your side.
Membasuh air matamuI wiped away your tears,
Namun mengapa ketikabut why is it that when…
Hatimu telah tersenyum lagiyour heart is smiling once again,
Aku yang kau lupa?I’m the one you’ve forgotten?
Tak sadarkah selama iniDon’t you realize that all this time,
Ku juga selalu menginginkanmu?I’ve always wanted you too?
Mengapa sulit untukku bisa miliki hatimu?Why is it so hard for me to win your heart?
Bahkan selama ini hadirku tak berharga untukmuEven after all this time, my presence means nothing to you.
Yang terjadi kini ku hanya rumah persinggahanmuThe truth is, I’m just your ‘temporary refuge’,
Di saat kau terlukaonly there for when you’re in pain.
Dan di saat semuanya redaAnd when the storm finally settles,
Kau menghilang begitu sajayou just disappear without a trace.
Jika memang ini tak ada harapanIf there’s really no hope for us,
Mengapa aku yang harus jadi tujuan?why did I have to be your destination?
Saat hatimu terlukaWhen your heart was wounded,
Aku yang jadi obatnyaI was the medicine that healed you.
Tanpa pernah kau hargaiWithout you ever appreciating
Cinta dan kasih yang setulus inia love and affection as sincere as this.
Mengapa sulit?Why is it so hard?
Mengapa sulit untukku bisa miliki hatimu?Why is it so hard for me to win your heart?
Bahkan selama ini hadirku tak berharga untukmu, ho-ho-hoEven after all this time, my presence means nothing to you.
Yang terjadi kini ku hanya rumah persinggahanmuThe truth is, I’m just a temporary refuge for you.
Di saat kau terlukaWhen you’re in pain,
Dan di saat semuanya redaand when the storm finally settles,
Kau menghilang begitu sajayou just disappear without a trace.
Dan di saat semuanya redaAnd when the storm finally settles,
Kau menghilang begitu sajayou just disappear without a trace.
