Pulang Kampung
Bin Idris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Setahun penuh membanting tulang
Ingin pulang tapi tak ada uang
Sisa tabungan habis kubayar hutang dan kontrakan
Kubilang ibu tak bisa bertemu
Kubilang ayah tak bisa ke rumah
Tahun lalu pun begitu terlalu sibuk tak ada waktu
Sudah bertumpuk semua rindu
Hingga sempitnya kamarku semakin sesak
Sayur ketupat
Hangatnya tidak akan sama
Tanpa hadirnya
Semarak begug
Merdunya tidak akan sama
Tanpa hadirnya
Tahun depan ku pasti pulang ke pelukanmu
Kubilang ibu tak bisa bertemu
Kubilang ayah tak bisa ke rumah
Tahun lalu pun begitu terlalu sibuk tak ada waktu
Sudah bertumpuk semua rindu
Hingga sempitnya kamarku
Semakin sesak
Sayur ketupat
Hangatnya tidak akan sama
Tanpa hadirnya
Semarak bedug
Merdunya tidak akan sama
Tanpa hadirnya
Jemari pagi
Sejuknya tidak akan sama
Bertumpuk, bertumpuk, bertumpuk, bertumpuk rindu
Tahun depan ku pasti pulang ke pelukanmu
Tahun depan ku pasti pulang ke pelukanmu
Tahun depan ku pasti pulang ke pelukanmu
The song "Pulang Kampung" by Bin Idris is an emotional piece about the longing for home and the comfort of family. The lyrics describe the struggles of a person who has been working hard for a year but is unable to return home due to financial constraints. The singer has been broke and has used up all his savings to pay off debts and rent. Thus, he is unable to meet his parents and family members who live far away.
The singer expresses that he has been yearning to see his family for a long time, but he cannot afford the trip. He describes the loneliness and confinement he feels in his small room where he lives. The singer is aware of the beauty of the traditional dishes, Sayur Ketupat and Semarak Begug, which his family prepares during festive seasons, but he knows that they will not taste the same without the presence of his loved ones.
The chorus, "Tahun depan ku pasti pulang ke pelukanmu," conveys the longing of the singer to return home, emphasizing his determination to overcome the financial challenges that are holding him back. The song symbolizes the typical situation faced by migrant workers in various parts of the world, who are forced to work away from their homes, and it evokes a strong sense of nostalgia and homesickness among the listeners.
