ELEGI ESOK PAGI
EBIET G ADE - ALBUM RENUNGAN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ijinkanlah kukecup keningmu
Bukan hanya ada di dalam angan
Esok pagi kau buka jendela
Kan kau dapati seikat kembang merah

Engkau tahu aku mulai bosan
Bercumbu dengan bayang-bayang
Bantulah aku temukan diri
Menyambut pagi membuang sepi

Ijinkanlah aku kenang
Sejenak perjalanan
Ho
Dan biarkan ku mengerti
Apa yang tersimpan di matamu
Ho

Barangkali di tengah telaga
Ada tersisa butiran cinta
Dan semoga kerinduan ini
Bukan jadi mimpi di atas mimpi

Ijinkanlah aku rindu
Pada hitam rambutmu
Ho
Dan biarkan ku bernyanyi
Demi hati yang risau ini
Ho

Barangkali di tengah telaga
Ada tersisa butiran cinta

Dan semoga kerinduan ini
Bukan jadi mimpi di atas mimpi

Ijinkanlah kukecup keningmu
Allow me to kiss your forehead


Bukan hanya ada di dalam angan
Not just a figment of imagination


Esok pagi kau buka jendela
Tomorrow morning you open the window


Kan kau dapati seikat kembang merah
You will find a bouquet of red flowers


Engkau tahu aku mulai bosan
You know I'm starting to get bored


Bercumbu dengan bayang-bayang
Flirting with shadows


Bantulah aku temukan diri
Help me find myself


Menyambut pagi membuang sepi
Greeting the morning to dispel loneliness


Ijinkanlah aku kenang
Allow me to reminisce


Sejenak perjalanan
For a moment of journey


Dan biarkan ku mengerti
And let me understand


Apa yang tersimpan di matamu
What is hidden in your eyes


Barangkali di tengah telaga
Perhaps in the middle of the lake


Ada tersisa butiran cinta
There are remaining grains of love


Dan semoga kerinduan ini
And hopefully this longing


Bukan jadi mimpi di atas mimpi
Will not become a dream upon a dream


Ijinkanlah aku rindu
Allow me to long


Pada hitam rambutmu
For your black hair


Dan biarkan ku bernyanyi
And let me sing


Demi hati yang risau ini
For this anxious heart


Barangkali di tengah telaga
Perhaps in the middle of the lake


Ada tersisa butiran cinta
There are remaining grains of love


Dan semoga kerinduan ini
And hopefully this longing


Bukan jadi mimpi di atas mimpi
Will not become a dream upon a dream
