Chrisye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ini dia kisah anak manusia
Ayah dan ibu sibuk semua
Cari harta siang dan malam
Anak dimanja dengan uang
Hingga terlupakan kasih sayang
Si anak jadi timbul kecewa
Dicarinya cara tuk bahagia
Selalu berfoya-foya
Tiada hari tanpa hura-hura
Reff :
Dalam hura-hura
Hatinya duka
Yang didambakannya
Kasih orang tua
Tapi kini apa yang terjadi
Semakin hari semakin jadi
Gaya hidup metropolitan
Yang penuh dengan kepalsuan
Tiada hari tanpa hura-hura
The lyrics of Chrisye's song titled "Hura Hura" depict the story of a human being and the struggles they face in life. The song starts off by highlighting the busy lives of the parents who are constantly searching for wealth day and night while spoiling their child with money, leading to the child feeling neglected and unloved. In search for happiness in their empty life, the child turns to a lavish lifestyle full of indulgences, marked by a constant pursuit of pleasure and a lack of regard for anything else.
The chorus of the song, "Dalam hura-hura, hatinya duka, yang didambakannya kasih orang tua" which translates to "in pleasures, the heart is sad, what the child desires is their parents' love" is a powerful reminder of the importance of genuine love and affection in one's life, as wealth and fleeting pleasures alone cannot bring lasting happiness. Despite the child's increasing involvement in the metropolitan lifestyle and all of its materialistic trappings, there is a growing sense of unhappiness and dissatisfaction that continues to haunt them.
The lyrics of "Hura Hura" are a solemn reflection of the human condition, lost in a world of technological advancements, materialism, and instant gratification, and the negative impact it has on life's most important aspects such as familial love, happiness, and contentment.

This is the story of a human child
Ayah dan ibu sibuk semua
Father and mother are busy with everything

Seeking wealth day and night
Anak dimanja dengan uang
The child is spoiled with money
Hingga terlupakan kasih sayang
Until love is forgotten

The child becomes disappointed
Dicarinya cara tuk bahagia
Searching for a way to happiness
Dalam kehidupan yang hampa
In an empty life

In extravagance
Hatinya duka
The heart is sad

Tapi kini apa yang terjadi
But now what has happened
Semakin hari semakin jadi
It becomes more and more every day

Full of insincerity
Tiada hari tanpa hura-hura
There is no day without extravagance
