Karmen
Chaseiro Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tak terlintas jua sebuah melodi
Tatkala kucoba mencipta nada
Kau nampakkan diri semata-mata
Bersandar menatap di muka pintu

Seakan tak peduli
Sinar matamu penuh misteri
Dan ku melirik sesaat saja

Bertautlah pandangmu denganku ha ha

Dan di luar sadarku
Tersenandungkan untaian nada
Penaku pun nanti kan menari
Tuliskan kata setiap nada

Secepat itu tercipta lagu
Yang dulu tak pernah dinyanyikan
Ku tak mengerti dan menyadari
Kau bawa suatu inspirasi

Andai tak secepat itu
Kau hilang dari pandangan
Kan kusematkan padamu
Karyaku atas dirimu

Bersahaja gaun yang kaukenakan
Tak mampu kausimpan keanggunanmu
Sekejap ku hanyut dalam lamunan
Jujur ku akui ku terpesona

Secepat itu tercipta lagu
Yang dulu tak pernah dinyanyikan
Ku tak mengerti dan menyadari
Kau bawa suatu inspirasi
Pap pi ra pa pa

Andai tak secepat itu
Kau hilang dari pandangan
Kan ku sematkan padamu
Karyaku atas dirimu

Kelak kan kau dengar sebuah melodi
Dengan kisah tentang suatu yang nyata
Pribadi dirimu yang bawa kesan
Jujur ku akui ku terpesona

Bersahaja gaun yang kaukenakan

Tak mampu kau simpan keanggunanmu
Karmen

Tak terlintas jua sebuah melodi
I never thought of a melody

Tatkala kucoba mencipta nada
When I tried to create some notes

Kau nampakkan diri semata-mata
You appeared out of nowhere

Bersandar menatap di muka pintu
Leaning and looking at the door

Seakan tak peduli
As if you don't care

Sinar matamu penuh misteri
Your eyes are full of mystery

Dan ku melirik sesaat saja
I glanced only for a moment

Bertautlah pandangmu denganku ha ha
Our eyes met, ha ha

Dan di luar sadarku
And without my knowing

Tersenandungkan untaian nada
I hummed a string of notes

Penaku pun nanti kan menari
My pen will dance later
