Balik Kampung
Datuk Sharifah Aini Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Perjalanan jauh tak kurasa
Kerna hati ku melonjak sama
Ingin berjumpa sanak saudara
Yang selalu bermain di mata

Nun menghijau gunung ladang dan rimba
Langit nan tinggi bertambah birunya
Deru angin turut sama berlagu

Semuanya bagaikan turut gembira

Balik kampung
Oh oh oh balik kampung
Oh oh oh balik kampung
Hati girang

Balik kampung
Oh oh oh balik kampung
Oh oh oh balik kampung
Hati girang

Terbayang wajah wajah yang kusayang
Satu satu tersemat di kalbu
Pasti terubat rindu di hati
Menyambut kepulanganku nanti

Perjalanan jauh tak kurasa
Kerna hati ku melonjak sama
Ingin berjumpa sanak saudara
Yang selalu bermain di mata

Nun menghijau gunung ladang dan rimba
Langit nan tinggi bertambah birunya
Deru angin turut sama berlagu
Semuanya bagaikan turut gembira

Balik kampung
Oh oh oh balik kampung
Oh oh oh balik kampung
Hati girang

Balik kampung
Oh oh oh balik kampung
Oh oh oh balik kampung
Hati girang

Terbayang wajah wajah yang kusayang
Satu satu tersemat di kalbu

Pasti terubat rindu di hati
Menyambut kepulanganku nanti
