Cintailah Cinta
Dewa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kepada manusia untuk
Dapat saling menyayangi
Bila kebencian meracunimu
Takkan ada jalan keluar
Damai hanya jadi impian
Bridge:-
Dari kenyataan
Bahwa kita manusia
Tempatnya salah
Dan lupa...
Chorus:-
Jika masih ada
Cinta di hatimu
Maka maafkanlah
Segala kesalahan
Cintailah cinta...
Bridge
Chorus
The lyrics to Dewa's song "Cintailah Cinta" are reflective of the importance of love and forgiveness in the human experience. The opening lines acknowledge that God has given humanity the gift of love, in order for us to love each other. However, when hatred poisons us, there seems to be no escape, and peace becomes an unattainable dream. The verses suggest that love and forgiveness are the antidotes to this poison; that without them, hatred will continue to consume us.
The bridge brings in the idea of facing reality: that we cannot run away from the fact that we are fallible, imperfect beings who make mistakes. It is easy to forget this, but it is important to remember. The chorus emphasizes the need to hold on to love, to forgive those who have wronged us, and to love one another. "Cintailah cinta" means "love love," and puts forth the idea that by loving and forgiving, we can bring more love into the world.
Overall, the song encourages listeners to release negative feelings and actions, and open up to the power of love and forgiveness. It acknowledges that this can be difficult, but ultimately worth it, if it brings more peace and joy into our lives.

Bila kamu bisa 'tuk memaafkan
Atas kesalahan manusia
Yang mungkin tak bisa dimaafkan
Tentu Tuhan pun akan memaafkan
Atas dosa yang pernah tercipta
Yang mungkin tak bisa diampuni

Liriknya dalam banget, mengingatkan bahwa kita sebagai manusia tempatnya salah dan lupa. Betapa rendahnya kita sebagai manusia di hadapan Tuhan nanti.

Lagu ini jadi pengingat untuk bercermin ketika aku merasa dikhianati sahabat... Jika masih ada cinta di hati, berarti kita pasti bisa memaafkan. Lama bertarung dengan diri sendiri setelah akhirnya bisa memaafkan, dan lega.. terimakasih, Dewa.
