LAGU UNTUK SEBUAH NAMA
EBIET G ADE - ALBUM RENUNGAN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
sedang musikpun manis kudengar
mungkin karena kulihat lagi
lentik bulu matamu
bibirmu dan rambutmu yang kau biarkan
jatuh berderai di keningmu
makin mengajakku terpana
kau goreskan gita cinta
mengapa aku mesti duduk disini
sedang kau tepat didepanku
mestinya kau berdiri berjalan kedepanmu
kusapa dan kunikmati wajahmu
atau kuisyaratkan cinta
tapi semua tak kulakukan
kata orang cinta mesti berkorban
mengapa dadaku mesti bergoncang
bila kusebutkan namamu
sedang kau diciptakan bukanlah untukku
itu pasti tapi aku tak mau perduli
sebab cinta bukan mesti bersatu
biar kucumbui bayanganmu
dan kusandarkan harapanku
jatuh berderai dikeningmu
The lyrics of "Lagu untuk Sebuah Nama" by Ebiet G Ade in his album Renungan reflect the emotions and inner thoughts of the singer as he experiences an intense attraction towards someone. In the first verse, the lyrics express the singer's feelings of their soul trembling in the presence of this person, even though the music itself sounds sweet to his ears. The mention of seeing the person's curly eyelashes, lips, and hair falling on their forehead adds to the singer's fascination and captivation. The phrase "kau goreskan gita cinta" suggests that the person's mere presence has inspired the singer to write songs about love.
The second verse portrays the singer's dilemma as he ponders why he must remain seated, while the person he is enamored with is right in front of him. It is as if he wishes the person would step forward, allowing him to greet and admire their face or even proclaim his love with a gesture. However, the singer restrains himself from doing so, possibly due to the belief that love requires sacrifices, as mentioned in the line "kata orang cinta mesti berkorban" (people say love must entail sacrifice).
In the third verse, the lyrics describe how the singer's chest trembles when he mentions the person's name. Despite acknowledging that the person was not created specifically for him, he chooses to disregard this fact. The line "sebab cinta bukan mesti bersatu" (because love does not necessarily mean togetherness) suggests that the singer is willing to indulge in fantasies about this person, nurturing hope, and cherishing the image of them, even if it is unattainable. The phrase "kusandarkan harapanku, jatuh berderai dikeningmu" encapsulates the idea of the singer finding solace and comfort in the idea of this person, even if it is a one-sided love.
Overall, "Lagu untuk Sebuah Nama" portrays the internal struggle of the singer who is deeply infatuated with someone, yet chooses to restrain himself and indulge in the beauty of his emotions instead. It speaks to the concept that love can be intense and overwhelming, even if it is not reciprocated or meant to be. The lyrics capture the singer's yearning, admiration, and willingness to hold onto hope, despite the apparent impossibility of their love story unfolding.

mengapa jiwaku mesti bergetar
Why does my soul have to tremble
sedang musikpun manis kudengar
while I hear sweet music
mungkin karena kulihat lagi
perhaps because I see once more
lentik bulu matamu
the curve of your eyelashes
bibirmu dan rambutmu yang kau biarkan
your lips and the flowing hair that you let loose
jatuh berderai di keningmu
falling down on your forehead
makin mengajakku terpana
increasingly captivating me
kau goreskan gita cinta
you etch a love song
mengapa aku mesti duduk disini
why do I have to sit here
sedang kau tepat didepanku
while you are right in front of me
mestinya kau berdiri berjalan kedepanmu
you should stand up and walk towards me
kusapa dan kunikmati wajahmu
I would kiss and enjoy your face
atau kuisyaratkan cinta
or I would signal love
tapi semua tak kulakukan
but I don't do any of it
kata orang cinta mesti berkorban
people say that love must sacrifice
mengapa dadaku mesti bergoncang
why does my chest have to shake
bila kusebutkan namamu
when I mention your name
sedang kau diciptakan bukanlah untukku
while you were created not for me
itu pasti tapi aku tak mau perduli
that's for sure, but I don't want to care
sebab cinta bukan mesti bersatu
because love doesn't have to be united
biar kucumbui bayanganmu
let me seduce your shadow
dan kusandarkan harapanku
and I rest my hopes
jatuh berderai dikeningmu
falling down on your forehead

Lagu2 cinta om Ebiet kebanyakan tentang lagu cinta platonis. Cinta yg menurut Plato sangat murni, bersih, tinggi, sehingga kita lelaki tak pantas memilikinya.
Selain lagu 'serenade', 'lagu untuk sebuah nama' juga masih sering saya dengar ketika rasa rindu kepada cinta platonis saya muncul. Ah memang sialan, padahal saya sudah punya istri. Hehe.
Untuk Muthi, perempuan pertama yg membuat saya menyatakan cinta, ya di usia 21 tahun. Waktu SMA saya gak berani pacaran, gak pernah nembak cewek, cuma bisa memendam. Tapi tidak saat bertemu denganmu, di Lippo Karawaci pada 2011 lalu, Aku kerja sebagai teknisi toko, kau sebagai sales di toko sebelah.
Kau perempuan pertama yang sejatinya aku cintai begitu tinggi, begitu suci. Meski jujur aku telat menyatakannya, karena teralu payah, terlalu mengulur waktu. Aku baru menyatakannya saat kita lama tak berjumpa di tempat kerja karena kau sudah resign dan kuliah. Tak perlulah kau membalas cintaku, yang terpenting bagiku kau sudah tau bahwa aku betul2 cinta kepadamu. Semoga kau selalu bahagia dimanapun berada, semoga Alloh SWT selalu melindungi.
Untuk istriku, kalau baca komen ini, ya jangan marah, kan sudah kuceritakan semua. Hehehe... Piss....
