ojo dadi pepalang atimu
semono ugo tak suwun ngancani aku
sayang iki tulus ora semu

kepengen turu neng dadamu
mbok elus rambutku bungahe atiku
cahya rembulan temerem ra turu turu
koyo koyo ngerti wengi ojo ninggalne aku

tak genggem tanganmu
tak elus pipimu
sumebyar jantungku koyo mandek ora mlaku
tresnoku yo mung kowe ra ono liyane

The lyrics of DAVID CHANDRA's song "Tulus" express a deep sense of vulnerability and honesty in a relationship. The opening lines, "opo anane tomponen luweh kekuranganku, ojo dadi pepalang atimu" can be interpreted as a plea for acceptance despite one's shortcomings. The singer is acknowledging their imperfections and expressing a desire for understanding and compassion from their partner. The phrase "tulus ora semu" at the end of this verse suggests that the singer values sincerity and authenticity above all else in the relationship.
In the following verse, the lyrics paint a picture of intimacy and longing, with lines like "kepengen turu neng dadamu, mbok elus rambutku bungahe atiku." The singer expresses a yearning to be close to their partner, to feel the warmth of their embrace, and to have their heart comforted. The reference to the moonlight and the importance of not leaving each other in the night further emphasizes the theme of closeness and emotional connection.
As the chorus unfolds, the lyrics convey a sense of tenderness and affection in the relationship. Lines like "tak genggem tanganmu, tak elus pipimu" illustrate the desire to touch and caress the beloved, while the imagery of a pounding heart that does not function properly when apart signifies the depth of the singer's love. The declaration that their love is only for their partner emphasizes the exclusivity and intensity of their feelings.
The repetition of the plea "opo anane tomponen luweh kekuranganku, ojo dadi pepalang atimu" throughout the song reinforces the central theme of acceptance and understanding in the face of flaws and imperfections. The singer is asking their partner not to judge or reject them for their weaknesses but to embrace them with honesty and sincerity. The closing lines of the song, "sayang iki tulus ora semu," drive home the idea that true love is genuine, without pretense or falsehood. The overall message of the song "Tulus" is a beautiful depiction of a heartfelt plea for acceptance and love in a relationship.
