Saraswati
Elea Lyrics

The lyrics in Elea's song Saraswati depict a sense of longing and a recognition of the passing of time. The opening lines, "Sarangan kang dadi saksi / Nalikane jaman semono," roughly translate to "The love that becomes a witness / of the ancient time." The singer is reflecting on a past love, represented as a witness to time gone by. The following lines, "Neng kono sliramu medhot janji / Ono pinggir telogo aku biso opo / Kejobo ngronto ing dodo," suggest that the singer is considering the promises made in this past relationship, and questioning what their own heart truly wants.

The singer goes on to describe the lover's presence as a soothing balm, "Telogomu ibarate eluhku / Howo adem ibarat atiku," unable to capture the beauty of the surroundings they shared, "Asri panggonmu ra biso nggambarke atiku." However, the love also causes pain, "Sing tak roso perih ing dodo," and the singer recognizes that they must move on, "Kudu lilo aku mok tinggalno."

The second verse of the song continues the theme of moving on from a past love, with the singer asking themselves, "Piye aku kudu piye / Yen wis ngene sing dadi dalane," or "What should I do now that this has become my path?" The final lines, "Mugo uripmu bahagio mulyo / Karo wong ayu sing dadi pilihanmu," express a wish for happiness and fulfillment, with the acknowledgement that the person they loved before may not have been the right choice.

Overall, the lyrics of Saraswati convey a sense of introspection and contemplation, with a focus on the passing of time and moving on from past love.
