Ku Doa Agar Kau Bahagia
Arrow Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Luka di jari nampak berdarah
Luka di hati siapa yang tahu wo
Parut lukaku pun masih ada
Masih terasa

Kenangan cinta kita bersama
Bagai mimpi yang sering menjelma oh
Ingin kulupa makin terasa

Aku yang merana

Kau yang membawaku ke pulau kasihmu
Kau juga yang meninggalkan kusendirian
Tinggal kini hanya secebis tanda tanya

Mengapakah perpisahan harus terjadi
Mengapakah ku di dusta
Tak sanggup lagi menahan
Derita cintamu wo
Apalah dosa ku di luka
Diriku di belenggu oleh api cintamu

Kau yang membawaku ke pulau kasihmu
Kau juga yang meninggalkan kusendirian
Tinggal kini hanya secebis tanda tanya
Mengapakah perpisahan harus terjadi

Mengapakah ku di dusta
Tak sanggup lagi menahan
Derita cintamu wo
Apalah dosa ku di luka
Diriku di belenggu oleh api cintamu

Oh
La la la
Na na na

Apalah dosa ku di luka
Diriku di belenggu oleh api cintamu

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Arrow's song Ku Doa Agar Kau Bahagia convey a sense of heartbreak and betrayal. The first few lines describe physical and emotional wounds that are still present, despite time passing. The singer is still feeling the pain of a past relationship, as the memories of their love haunt them like a recurring dream. The lyrics express a longing to forget and move on from the relationship, but the deeper underlying message is one of hurt and confusion.

The song tells a story of a love affair that began in paradise and ended in heartbreak. The singer was brought to their partner's island of love, but was eventually left alone with nothing but unanswered questions. The chorus repeats the questions "mengapakah perpisahan harus terjadi?" or "why did separation have to happen?", highlighting the singer's confusion and hurt over the relationship's abrupt end. They can't understand why they were lied to and why they had to endure the pain of the relationship.
