Bayangan
Datuk Sharifah Aini Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bayangan menawan kau datang lagi
Di kala sunyi melanda hati
Mengusik hati di malam ini
Sedang jiwa dalam merintis

Pergilah engkau jangan menjelma
Tak sanggup aku memendam rasa
Asmaramu nan menikam sukma

Oh sakitnya menghiris jiwa aah haa
Kiranya hanya aku yang bercinta
Biarlah aku yang derita

Ampunkan diriku menyintaimu
Oh kasihanilah pada diriku
Bebaskanku dari bayanganmu
Biarku pergi membawa rindu

Pergilah engkau jangan menjelma
Tak sanggup aku memendam rasa
Menangis dalam kekecewaan
Ho batinku yang tersiksa oh ho

Kiranya hanya aku yang bercinta
Biarlah aku yang derita
