Makna Nostalgia
Candra Darusman Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pagi ini ada
Tersisa hujan curah semalam
Hari ini ada
Tersisa mimpi masa yang silam

Kemelut masih terbayang
Di mata hatiku yang sendu
Kupu-kupu terbang

Kebarkan duka dua manusia
Lagu ini kupersembahkan ke haribaanmu

Mengapa harus berpisah
Di jalan persimpangan hidup

Saat ini ada tersisa
Nostalgi yang teringat
Akan kucoba menghapuskannya
Saat yang sama ku merasa
Kenangan yang terindah
Tanpa trasa kusedang menikmati

Pagi ini ada
Tersisa hujan curah semalam
Hari ini ada
Tersisa mimpi masa yang silam

Kemelut masih terbayang
Di mata hatiku yang sendu

Saat ini ada tersisa
Nostalgi yang teringat
Akan kucoba menghapuskannya
Saat yang sama ku merasa
Kenangan yang terindah
Tanpa trasa kusedang menikmati

Da aha ta da aha

Kupu-kupu terbang
Kebarkan duka dua manusia
Lagu ini kupersembahkan ke haribaanmu
Mengapa harus berpisah
Di jalan persimpangan hidup

Saat ini ada tersisa
Nostalgi yang teringat
Akan kucoba menghapuskannya
Saat yang sama ku merasa
Kenangan yang terindah
Tanpa trasa kusedang menikmati

Pagi ini ada

Hari ini ada
Nostalgi di hati
