Gadis Pujaan
Candra Darusman Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kau gadis pujaan
Bermodel sekarang
Tiap pria yang jatuh hati
Kau balas dengan basa basi
Kecewalah semua karenanya
Apa gerangan kau cari?

Kau gadis pujaan

Uuh yang cantik rupawan
Namun kau mengeluh akhirnya
Seganlah pria mendekati
Bagai mawar tiada berseri
Kini apa yang kau cari?

Kau gadis pujaan
Kau coba bayangkan
Rasa dia seperti ini
Betapa gusar pula dia
Jangan kau ganggu dan kau goda
Hatiku seperti dia

Dia pria yang jatuh hati
Kau balas dengan basa basi
Kecewalah semua karenanya
Apa gerangan kau cari?

Kau gadis pujaan
Yang cantik rupawan
Namun kau mengeluh akhirnya
Seganlah pria mendekati
Bagai mawar tiada berseri
Kini apa yang kau cari?

Kau gadis pujaan
Bermodel sekarang
Kau cantik rupawan

Kau coba bayangkan
Uuh kau gadis pujaan

The song "Gadis Pujaan" by Candra Darusman is about a woman who is admired by many men, but she seems to lack interest in them. The first verse describes how she responds to men who fall for her with superficial words, causing them to be disappointed. The second verse talks about her beauty, but how she complains about men not approaching her. The chorus repeats the question of what she is looking for since she seems unapproachable and distant.

The third verse introduces the idea of the woman imagining how it would feel if she was the one in love, and how frustrating it would be if someone was constantly teasing and tempting her. The final chorus repeats the questions about what the woman is looking for, emphasizing that despite her beauty and admiration, she seems alone and unfulfilled.

Overall, the lyrics are a commentary on the superficiality of beauty and the importance of genuine connection in relationships. The woman is admired, but it seems that she is only interested in a deeper level of love and is not content with shallow admiration or flirting.
