Stay Home
ABANGSAPAU Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want you to stay
Would you stay home with me?
I don't wanna lose you
Pick up the phone and talk to me
I want you home with me
Would you spend time with me?
I want you home with me
Would you spend time with me?
It's invisible, it's in the air
Unpredictable, anything could happen
Know you're not alone
Even when you're locked in
Together we can stop it
Prayer hands up when we stayin' inside For the ones
Puttin their uyir on the line Manithanukkul kadavul irikindrar
Now's about what really matters the most
Keep your head high and your kudumbam close
Gotta know ithaiyum naam kadappom
打 开了眼 呆在家一整天
戏 看三遍 它的字都会念
播歌跳舞够力够力
屁股扭扭看也看不腻
I'm living the time 在这隔离的时间
I'm counting the minutes to 出门去绕
I'm living the time during the quarantine and I'm
Counting the minutes to go out again 但 吃的饱 睡得好 喝到妙 还算是 吉多凶少
But we been eating well, sleeping well,
Drinking well and we count our blessings
And oh, I won't Wanna live with all that regret
Just wanna get through this Even if I'm on my own
You know I'll go
Any distance for them go be safer than sorry
Don't want you to worry for you I'll come home
I want you to stay
Would you stay home with me?
I don't wanna lose you
Pick up the phone and talk to me
I want you home with me
Would you spend time with me?
I want you home with me
Would you spend time with me?
I'm on my way
I'll be back today
Hey, don't worry I'll be by your side
You won't fight alone
Yeah, I'm coming home
To see you
It's enough to stay inside
To save some lives, for us to thrive It's a long-drawn battle we're in
But we're bigger than this, we're bigger than this
Walking in walking out
Never had to think twice about it out there Times will change
Yea, we know
But there's no need to go crazy
Think of others, yea
I can lift you up, when u had enough
All u gotta do is come home
Through the sacrifice,
Through your weary nights i will hold your hand through it all
Semua dah lain, dunia beza
Bulan puasa and we got no bazaar It happened
So fast, as long as I'm healthy, aku bersyukur
Yeah we made it this far
And I'll be right here for you
出门记得带口罩
Jangan keluar, 不要乱乱跑
We can't wait till it's too late
'Fore we move baby, so the time is now
Shoutouts to 我们的 healthcare workers on
The frontline 你们为我们的牺牲 always be our minds
Spending all my time just staying at home
Get through it all, we together alone
Everyone takin a share of the pain
After all we know it won't be the same We all got fears
Keep ya head high
Don't shed a tear
After the rain it'll be clear
Matter of time before it disappears
Take a deep breath
Jangan engkau mudah mengalah
Percayalah
Semestakan segar lagi
Even though stones break the bones
You will never break the soul
We'll be fighting through the cold
And we're waiting for you to come home
You'll be coming home
I want you to stay
Would you stay home with me?
I don't wanna lose you
Pick up the phone and talk to me
I want you home with me
Would you spend time with me?
I want you home with me
Would you spend time with me?




Jangan keluar
Duduk di rumah

"Jangan keluar, duduk di rumah" has never sounded this good

@shadezhadi6915

I searched for Kygo and switch my screen to work but this song came out as a youtube Ad. And I swear for a moment I thought this was the Kygo song.

Stay Home deserve to be in the Billboard. 

Hands down the best local music production of the century.
