Tampar Lyrics Translation (from “Nonfiksi”)
Denis Ligia pens raw emotions, with lines like ‘Slap me right across the face, to snap me back so I finally understand.’ The lyrics describe rain masking tears, symbolizing the hidden pain of a broken heart. The narrator wrestles with guilt, even wishing harm on a former love.
Entah sudah selasa yang ke berapaI don’t know how many Tuesdays have passed,
Masih saja kau ada lekat di kepalaYou’re still stuck firmly in my mind
Hari ini janji esok mesti lupaToday I promise I’ll forget by tomorrow,
Tetapi hati tak tepatiBut my heart won’t keep its word.
Tampar aku di pipiSlap me right across the face,
Biar sadar dan ku mengertiTo snap me back so I finally understand.
Hujan samarkan derasnyaThe rain disguises the downpour,
Tutup air mataMasking all my tears
Temani kecewaku yang telah lamaKeeping my long-standing heartbreak company,
Berdosa kah ku berdoaIs it a sin for me to pray,
Minta kau terlukaWishing for you to get hurt
Dan tinggalkan dirinyaAnd leave him behind?
Hari ini janji esok mesti lupaToday I promise I’ll forget by tomorrow,
Tetapi hati tak tepatiBut my heart won’t keep its word.
Tampar aku di pipiSlap me right across the face,
Biar sadar dan ku mengertiTo snap me back so I finally understand.
Hujan samarkan derasnyaThe rain disguises the downpour,
Tutup air mataMasking all my tears
Temani kecewaku yang telah lamaKeeping my long-standing heartbreak company,
Berdosa kah ku berdoaIs it a sin for me to pray,
Minta kau terlukaWishing for you to get hurt
Dan tinggalkan dirinyaAnd leave him behind?
Bukan ku tak berupaya berusahaIt’s not that I haven’t tried my best.
Hujan samarkan derasnyaThe rain disguises the downpour,
Tutup air mataMasking all my tears
Temani kecewaku yang telah lamaKeeping my long-standing heartbreak company,
Berdosa kah ku berdoaIs it a sin for me to pray,
Minta kau terlukaWishing for you to get hurt
Dan tinggalkan dirinyaAnd leave him behind?
Hujan samarkan derasnyaThe rain disguises the downpour,
Tutup air mataMasking all my tears
Tiga tahun tak terasaThree years have slipped by unnoticed,
Masih kau yang adaAnd it’s still you I’m holding onto,
Bodoh yang sebenarnyaThe true definition of a fool.
Tampar aku di pipiSlap me right across the face,
Sadarkan kau aku takkan terjadiMake me realize that ‘you and I’ will never happen.
The lyrics of ‘Tampar’ explore the pain of letting go after three years. Juicy Luicy’s Indonesian ballad is a haunting reminder of love that lingers, even when it’s time to move on.
