Kesan Pertama
Ardhito Pramono Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seakan bertatap mata
Ruang waktu yang berbicara
Hadirkan nuansa bersama
Walau tak nyata
Dalam relung hati ingin bertanya
Apakah dua insan kan bercinta~
Oh Biarlah sudah ku hadapi saja
Ku hampa sendiri bohongi nurani
Sudahlah biar terjadi
Baru saja mau bersemi
Ternyata hanya angan belaka
Tinggal waktu yang berbicara
Sama halnya ijabah sang semesta
Dalam relung hati ingin bertanya
Apakah dua insan kan bercinta
Oh Biarlah sudah ku hadapi saja
Kian kadung tenggelam
Ku hampa sendiri bohongi nurani
Mungkin ini akan terjadi nanti
Saat engkau mengerti
Oh Biarlah sudah ku hadapi saja
Kian kadung tenggelam
Ku hampa sendiri bohongi nurani
Mungkin ini akan terjadi nanti
Saat engkau mengerti
The lyrics of Ardhito Pramono's song "Kesan Pertama" depict the emotional journey of two individuals who meet for the first time and experience a connection that feels almost like they are gazing into each other's eyes. The lyrics evoke a sense of the passage of time speaking to them, creating a shared atmosphere, even though it may not be tangible. The hidden desires of the heart are expressed through questioning whether these two people will fall in love, showcasing a yearning for a deeper connection.
As the song progresses, the singer grapples with the reality that their initial spark may have been just a fleeting dream. They confront the harshness of facing a period of despair and loneliness, trying to deceive their conscience to cope with the situation at hand. The mention of "nestapa" suggests a feeling of intense sadness or grief that the singer is enduring, indicating a struggle with inner turmoil and the acceptance of difficult circumstances.
The lyrics continue to explore the uncertainty and doubts surrounding the potential blossoming of love between the two individuals. The reference to the universe's acceptance or rejection through the symbol of 'ijabah' reflects a sense of destiny or fate at play in their relationship. Despite the desire in the depths of their hearts to know if love will indeed flourish, there is a resignation to facing whatever outcome may come their way, indicating a willingness to navigate the complexities of emotions and connections that lie ahead.
Ultimately, the lyrics conclude with a sense of resignation and acceptance of the unknown future. The singer acknowledges the possibility of their feelings being unreciprocated or misunderstood until a later point when clarity may come. The repetition of the phrase "Oh Biarlah sudah ku hadapi saja" reinforces a sense of coming to terms with the uncertainties of love and life, surrendering to the ebb and flow of emotions and experiences. Overall, the song captures the bittersweet essence of a first encounter and the complexities of emotions that accompany the journey of discovering love and understanding.

Kesan pertama kita jumpa
The initial impression of our encounter
Seakan bertatap mata
As if our eyes met directly
Ruang waktu yang berbicara
The space and time seem to whisper
Hadirkan nuansa bersama
Creating a shared atmosphere
Walau tak nyata
Even though it isn't tangible
Dalam relung hati ingin bertanya
In the depths of my heart, there is a question
Apakah dua insan kan bercinta~
Will two souls find love?
Oh Biarlah sudah ku hadapi saja
Oh, I will just face it as it comes
Masa masa nestapa
The times of sorrow
Ku hampa sendiri bohongi nurani
I am empty, deceiving my own conscience
Sudahlah biar terjadi
It's all right, let it happen
Baru saja mau bersemi
Just as it was about to bloom
Ternyata hanya angan belaka
It turns out to be mere dreams
Tinggal waktu yang berbicara
Only time will tell
Sama halnya ijabah sang semesta
Just like the response of the universe
Dalam relung hati ingin bertanya
In the depths of my heart, there is still a question
Apakah dua insan kan bercinta
Will two souls find love?
Oh Biarlah sudah ku hadapi saja
Oh, I will just face it as it comes
Kian kadung tenggelam
As I increasingly sink deep
Ku hampa sendiri bohongi nurani
I am empty, deceiving my own conscience
Mungkin ini akan terjadi nanti
Perhaps this will happen in the future
Saat engkau mengerti
When you come to understand
Oh Biarlah sudah ku hadapi saja
Oh, I will just face it as it comes
Kian kadung tenggelam
As I increasingly sink deep
Ku hampa sendiri bohongi nurani
I am empty, deceiving my own conscience
Mungkin ini akan terjadi nanti
Perhaps this will happen in the future
Saat engkau mengerti
When you come to understand
