Mengapa kau lupakan
Oh mengapa kau lupakan
Janji yang kau berikan
Janji yang kuharapkan
Siang kunantikan
Dan malam aku impikan
Mengapa kau lupakan
Ha ha aha aha
Sungguh kau tak pandai
Menimbang rasa
Kerana janjimu diriku terseksa
Oh sungguh kau tak pandai
Menimbang rasa
Kerana janjimu diriku terseksa
Sungguh kau tak fikirkan
Betapa kuderita

Mengapa kau lupakan
Janji yang kau berikan
Janji yang kuharapkan
Siang kunantikan
Dan malam aku impikan
Mengapa kau lupakan

Ha ha aha aha
Sungguh kau tak pandai
Menimbang rasa
Kerana janjimu diriku terseksa
Oh sungguh kau tak pandai
Menimbang rasa
Kerana janjimu diriku terseksa
Sungguh kau tak fikirkan
Betapa kuderita

Mengapa kau lupakan
Janji yang kau berikan
Janji yang kuharapkan
Siang kunantikan




Dan malam aku impikan
Mengapa kau lupakan

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Janji" by Datuk Sharifah Aini describe the pain and confusion experienced by someone who has been forgotten by a loved one who promised them the world. The singer pleads with her partner to remember the promises they made, the hope they gave her, and the agony that she is going through now that these have been forgotten. She cannot understand why her partner has turned away from her and left her alone, unable to enjoy the day or sleep at night.


The singer is also outraged by the lack of empathy and understanding on the part of her partner. She accuses them of being selfish and not thinking about the pain they have caused, leaving her in a state of despair. The repeated refrain of "Ha ha aha aha" is ironic, as the situation is anything but funny, highlighting the absurdity of the situation and demonstrating the singer's bitterness and cynicism.


Overall, the song is a heart-wrenching plea for a loved one to honor their promises and be considerate of the feelings of others.
