Bila Esok Ibu Tiada’s Setengah Mati Indonesian Lyrics English Translation

In the opening plea she asks, “God, you know how much I loved her, but You loved her more,” turning prayer into a trembling whisper. She asks for just a dream‑like moment, then wonders aloud, “How can I live without you?” The chorus repeats the line “missing you half to death,” painting the ache with stark honesty.

Tolong Bilang Ini Hanya MimpiPlease, tell me this is just a dream.
Ku Merindukanmu Setengah MatiI’m missing you half to death.
Tuhan Kau Tahu Aku MenyayanginyaGod, you know how much I loved her,
Tapi Ternyata Kau Lebih Sayang Diabut it turns out You loved her even more.
Datanglah Sebentar Hari IniPlease come back, just for a moment today,
Walaupun Sekedar Lewat Mimpieven if it’s only passing through a dream.
Aku Ingin PulangI want to come home,
Kuingin MengaduI want to pour my heart out.
Secepat Itu Kau Pergi Tinggalkan Diriku OhYou went and left me all alone so quickly, oh.
BagaimanaWhat am I supposed to do
Jika Ku Merindukan Dirimuif I find myself missing you?
Jika Ku Butuh Hangat PelukmuWhat if I need the warmth of your embrace?

Tenanglah Kau Di SanaI hope you’re at peace over there.
