Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Agar kau mengerti
Yang membuatku ingin pergi darimu
Ku tak sanggup lagi hidup begini
Dihantui rasa api cemburu
Kau peluk dirinya
Di depanku, kau cium dirinya
But the devil in 'ur eyes
Drives me back to you
Tak semudah itu ′tuk diriku
Meninggalkanmu begitu saja
Karena hanya kamu yang mengerti
Ku mengunci hatiku saat ini
Tak semudah itu 'tuk diriku
Meninggalkanmu begitu saja
Karena hanya kamu yang mengerti
Biar ku simpan rasa cemburuku
Cemburuku
T'lah berulang kali, aku mengatakan
Apa yang ku rasa dalam hatiku
Ku tak sanggup lagi hidup begini
Bila ada dia diantara kita
Kau peluk dirinya
Di depanku, kau cium dirinya
Di depanku, walau dia sahabatmu
But the devil in ′ur eyes
Drives me back to you
Tak semudah itu ′tuk diriku
Meninggalkanmu begitu saja
Karena hanya kamu yang mengerti
Ku mengunci hatiku saat ini
Tak semudah itu 'tuk diriku
Meninggalkanmu begitu saja
Karena hanya kamu yang mengerti
Biar ku simpan rasa cemburuku
Tak semudah itu ′tuk diriku
Meninggalkanmu begitu saja
Karena hanya kamu yang mengerti
Ku mengunci hatiku saat ini
Tak semudah itu 'tuk diriku
Meninggalkanmu begitu saja
Karena hanya kamu yang mengerti
Biar ku simpan rasa cemburuku

Cemburuku
In "Cemburu" by Ecoutez, the lyrics express the pain and agony of jealousy. The singer of the song has tried to convey their feelings to their beloved, hoping that they would understand the situation and why the singer feels the need to step away from the relationship. The singer is unable to continue living in agony, tormented by the feelings of jealousy. However, the singer finds it hard to leave the loved one, even though the loved one displays affection towards another person, who is also a close friend. Despite the agony, seeing the devil in the loved one's eyes still drives the singer back to them. The song acknowledges that leaving someone is not as easy as it may sound, especially when only the partner understands the situation. Thus, the singer wishes to keep the feeling of jealousy locked up instead of exposing it and breaking the relationship.
The song's theme of jealousy is evident throughout the lyrics. The singer's feelings of envy and suffering are so intense that the refrain, "Cemburuku," directly translates to "my jealousy." The singer is struggling to cope as their loved one shows affection for someone else, even though that person is a friend. Despite feeling the need to leave and escape the agony, the singer realizes that it is not that simple.
