Chrisye started recording in the band Gipsy in 1969. The band covered music including Procol Harum, King Crimson, ELP, Genesis and Blood, Sweat & Tears, and ventured to the USA to play in New York. The band collaborated in 1976 with Guruh Soekarno Putra, one of the sons of former Indonesian President Soekarno, and brother of Megawati Soekarnoputri, subsequent Indonesian President, on Guruh Gipsy, a progressive rock album that combined prog rock with Balinese gamelan.
His raise to fame came with the release of the movie soundtrack “Badai Pasti Berlalu (The Storm Will Surely Pass)” in 1977. The album was done in collaboration with Eros Jarot (currently a member of Indonesian parliament) and Yockie Suryo Prayogo (a keyboard virtuoso). This album is considered as a major musical landmark in Indonesia.
His first, and most popular solo single was in 1977 with Lilin Lilin Kecil (Little Candles), composed by James F. Sundah.
In 1981 he starred in the film "Seindah Rembulan" (As Beautiful As the Moon).
In 2004, Chrisye made an album titled "Senyawa (One Soul)". In this album, Chrisye did collaborations with other Indonesian popstars, such as Project Pop, Ungu, Peterpan, etc.
Kesan Di Matamu
Chrisye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mencari bayangan dirimu
Rasa rindu yang tak pernah
Kan hilang walau ditelan waktu
Kadang saat kemarau pun hujan wo oh
Kadang malam tak berbintang
Apakah mungkin yang ku rasakan
Seakan matamu bicara
Yang tak mampu untuk berkata
Jangan biarkan ku tersiksa
Terlena tak berdaya
Di antara kesan di matamu
Kadang saat kemarau pun hujan wo oh
Kadang malam tak berbintang
Apakah mungkin yang ku rasakan
Akan jadi kenyataan
Seakan matamu bicara
Yang tak mampu untuk berkata
Jangan biarkan ku tersiksa
Terlena tak berdaya
Di antara kesanmu
Seakan matamu bicara
Yang tak mampu untuk berkata
Jangan biarkan ku tersiksa
Terlena tak berdaya
Di antara kesan di matamu
In Chrisye's song "Kesan Di Matamu," he is singing about a love that once existed but still lingers in his mind. He admits that he still looks for a trace of his former love, even though time has passed. The feeling of missing someone never goes away, even if it is buried within the depths of time. The lyrics reveal a sense of vulnerability and longing to be with someone that once made the singer feel alive. However, the reality is that this is all in the past and the love is gone.
The words "kadang-kadang" in the song carry a deep meaning, representing the struggle with moving on from lost love. This phrase is repeated often throughout the song, indicating that the singer is still struggling to come to terms with the past. The line "seakan matamu bicara" suggests that the singer still holds onto the hope that his love may return. The eyes can express one's feelings without words, and the singer is picking up on any signal that his love may still hold some sort of feeling towards him. Ultimately, the singer is left in a state of sadness and helplessness, constantly searching but never finding what he once had.

Kadang aku masih saja
Sometimes I still search for your image
Mencari bayangan dirimu
Looking for your shadow
Rasa rindu yang tak pernah
A longing that never fades
Kan hilang walau ditelan waktu
That will never go away, even if time passes
Kadang saat kemarau pun hujan wo oh
Sometimes, even during drought, it rains
Kadang malam tak berbintang
Sometimes, the night is starless
Apakah mungkin yang ku rasakan
Could it be that what I feel
Akan jadi kenyataan
Will become reality?
Seakan matamu bicara
It's as if your eyes are speaking
Yang tak mampu untuk berkata
But unable to say anything
Jangan biarkan ku tersiksa
Don't let me suffer
Terlena tak berdaya
Feeling helpless and trapped
Di antara kesan di matamu
Amidst the impressions in your eyes
