Suka Suka Lyrics English Translation by Afan
Afan repeats the line, ‘It’s my choice which one I want to pick,’ grounding the song in personal agency. The lyrics mention sweet talk and waiting, using simple words to show hesitation. Aldo Bz notes the tension between two people, one nearby and one who catches the eye from afar.
Ku tak mau dipaksaI don’t want to be pressured.
Karena keinginanmu untuk dicintaJust because of your desire to be loved.
Banyak yang datang menggodaMany people come around to flirt,
Tapi aku masih menahan rasabut I’m still holding back my feelings.
Tak mau aku terburu-buruI don’t want to rush into anything.
Simpan saja semua kata rayumuJust keep all your sweet talk to yourself.
Sadar ku masih ingin memilihI realize I still want to choose,
Dia ataukah kamubetween her or you.
Suka-suka ku mau pilih yang manaIt’s my choice which one I want to pick.
Suka-suka kuharap jangan dipaksaIt’s my choice, so please don’t pressure me.
Suka-suka ku mau suka-sukaIt’s up to me, I’ll do as I please.
Suka-suka belum tentu itu kamuIt’s my choice, and it’s not necessarily you.
Suka-suka ku mau pilih yang manaIt’s my choice which one I want to pick.
Suka-suka kuharap jangan dipaksaIt’s my choice, so please don’t pressure me.
Suka-suka ku mau suka-sukaIt’s up to me, I’ll do as I please.
Suka-suka belum tentu itu kamuIt’s my choice, and it’s not necessarily you.
Belum saatnya ku jadi milikmuIt’s not time for me to be yours yet.
Tahan tahan dulu kamu harus menungguJust hold on, you’ve got to wait.
Kita memang sudah saling merinduWe definitely already miss each other,
Rasaku dan rasamu butuh waktubut my feelings and yours need time.
Dia yang di sana kadang buatku sukaThe one over there sometimes catches my eye.
Kamu yang di sini buatku bahagiaYou right here make me happy.
Ku belum siap ‘tuk melepas salah satunyaI’m not ready to let go of either one yet,
Kar’na memang kau bukan jadi satu-satunyabecause you really aren’t the only one.
Ku masih memilih mana yang kusukaI’m still choosing the one I like best.
Kenali sikap juga cara masih kucobaI’m still trying to understand your ways.
Oh girl jangan kau paksaOh girl, don’t you pressure me.
Awali saja dulu dengan yang biasaJust start with something casual first.
Pas atau tidak kita lanjutkanWhether it works or not, we’ll keep going.
Kalau cocok kita rajut dan suka-sukaIf it’s a match, we’ll build it our way.
Ini rasa untuk siapa jangan dipaksaDon’t force who these feelings are for.
Oh-oh-oh kamu terburu-buruOh, you’re in such a rush.
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-ohOh, oh, oh.
Oh-oh-oh jangan terburu-buruOh, don’t be in such a rush.
Jangan terburu-buruDon’t rush into it.
Suka-sukaIt’s up to me.
Suka-suka ku mau pilih yang manaIt’s my choice which one I want to pick.
Suka-suka kuharap jangan dipaksaIt’s my choice, so please don’t pressure me.
Suka-suka ku mau suka-sukaIt’s up to me, I’ll do as I please.
Suka-suka belum tentu itu kamu suka-sukaIt’s my choice, and it’s not necessarily you, it’s up to me.
Suka-suka ku mau pilih yang manaIt’s my choice which one I want to pick.
Suka-suka kuharap jangan dipaksaIt’s my choice, so please don’t pressure me.
Suka-suka ku mau suka-sukaIt’s up to me, I’ll do as I please.
Suka-suka belum tentu itu kamuIt’s my choice, and it’s not necessarily you.
