Di Batas Waktu
Candra Darusman Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kala hening datang mencekam bahu
Terasa mengusik sukmanya kalbu
Perilaku yang ada pertanda resahnya
Jiwa yang kian mendera jua

Saat sendu datang menjelang tiba
Aral pun merintang jalan hidupnya
Dibalik prasangka yang pernah ku duga

Kini semakin menjadi dahaga

Selangkah jalan yang telah berlalu
Menjadikan peranan diri
Kini terasa diambang duka
Kini terasa diambang duka

Biarkan ku coba dibatas waktu
Sedini mungkin merubah cara
Semoga bahagia suasananya
Tercipta diantara kita selamanya

Selangkah jalan yang telah berlalu
Menjadikan peranan diri
Kini terasa diambang duka
Kini terasa diambang duka

Biarkan ku coba dibatas waktu
Sedini mungkin merubah cara

Semoga bahagia suasananya
Tercipta diantara kita selamanya
