Desy Ratnasari Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Karena hari ini aku menunggu
Bila nanti tiada kutemui
Akan kuterima suratan ini
Kubayangkan tentang hari nanti
Ku ingin teman dalam hidupku
Pabila ada cinta yang sejati
Akan kuberikan akan kupersembahkan
Setulus hati ini
Seluruh hidupku
Kudengarkan suara burung bernyanyi
Kubayangkan indahnya dunia
Dimanakah cinta yang ku cari
Sampai kapankah ku harus menunggu
Ha
Agar dunia ini menjadi indah didalam penglihatanku
Ku bernyanyi oh indahnya dunia
Ha
Kudengarkan suara burung bernyanyi
Kubayangkan indahnya dunia
Dimanakah cinta yang kucari
Sampai kapankah kuharus menunggu
Agar dunia ini menjadi indah didalam penglihatanku
Dalam penglihatanku
Desy Ratnasari’s song "Penglihatan" reflects a profound sense of yearning and introspection, encapsulating the emotional landscape of waiting for love and the hope it brings. In the opening lines, the songwriter questions the continuity of her presence in the future. This not only suggests a desire for stability but also highlights the tension of the present—where she is caught in a moment of expectation, awaiting the arrival of something transformative, likely a deep and meaningful love. The acknowledgment of the uncertainty of tomorrow contrasts sharply with her commitment to embrace whatever fate has in store for her. It reveals a willingness to accept the inevitability of life and destiny, even amidst the feelings of longing and anticipation that accompany waiting.
The lyrics continue to paint a picture of the future enriched by companionship, driven by genuine love. The singer expresses a clear desire for a partner who embodies true affection, one that can only be perceived through the heart. This profound introspection emphasizes the idea that love transcends mere physical or superficial recognition; it speaks to the importance of emotional and spiritual connections. Her commitment to give her entire being and life to this love reflects the depth of her yearning. It underscores the belief that true affection requires a sincere and wholehearted investment—both emotionally and in action—for it to flourish.
The recurring metaphor of birds singing serves as a powerful symbol of freedom, beauty, and the dawn of new possibilities. As she listens to nature’s melodies, she imagines a world of beauty that exists just beyond her grasp. This connection to the natural world amplifies her feelings of isolation and longing, as she searches for the love that would enrich her life and make the world around her feel beautiful as a reflection of her internal state. The imagery conveys a sense of hope and serenity, yet it also evokes her struggle; the repeated question of where her sought-after love is portrays her vulnerability and the depth of her emotional quest. This longing connects with a universal human experience—finding love in a world that can often feel harsh or unwelcoming.
The climax of the song ultimately comes down to the dual nature of perception and reality. The final lines reiterate the quest for love and how much it influences her outlook on life. She dreams of a world that becomes beautiful through her ‘penglihatan’ (sight), suggesting that love has the power not only to change personal circumstances but also to alter one’s perspective. The longing expressed in the lyrics encapsulates a deeper philosophical notion—the belief that love can transform one’s view of reality, creating a more vibrant and harmonious existence. The emotional tapestry created throughout the song portrays the duality of strength and fragility in the human experience, encapsulated in the quest for authentic love that makes the world seem more beautiful and meaningful.
