Batas Rindu
Fariz RM Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kita berada
Dibawah sinar
Bulan dan bintang yang sama
Namun sulit bagi
Kita tuk pisah
Memandang yang berdua
Ruang jarak membentang
Memupuk rindu

Yang tertanam
Senandung laguku
Nyanyikan lirih
Untukku kasihku
Hujan rintik turun
Mengiringi
Sendu malam minggu
Gelap dingin mencekam
kecuali bayang tentangmu

Bertemu di batas rindu
Aku akan menanti kau
menjemputku
Menggenggam erat tanganmu
Tuk takkan lagi
Melepas kau tuk pergi
Tak ingin kan berakhir
Cerita cinta kita berdua

Bertemu di batas rindu
Aku akan menanti kau
menjemputku
Menggenggam erat tanganmu
Tuk takkan lagi
Melepas kau tuk pergi
Tak ingin kan berakhir
Cerita cinta kita

Bertemu di batas rindu
Aku akan menanti kau
menjemputku
Menggenggam erat tanganmu

Tuk takkan lagi
Melepas kau tuk pergi

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of "Batas Rindu" by Fariz RM paint a picture of being under the same moon and stars, yet it is difficult to separate. This can be interpreted as two people who may be in the same vicinity, but emotionally and mentally distant from each other. Despite this distance, there is a growing feeling of longing in both of them, symbolized by the rain that falls on the lonely night. The singer croons softly about his longing for his loved one, hoping that his gentle song will reach her ears.

The chorus of the song talks about meeting at the limits of their longing, where the singer awaits the arrival of his loved one, promising to hold on tight to her hand so that she will never leave him again. It is clear that the singer is willing to wait at that border, surrounded by the misty air, for the resolution of their love story.

The song captures a beautiful sense of melancholy, hope, and longing. It speaks to a universal human experience - the tension between loving someone but being unable to be with them - and it does so with poetic language and evocative imagery.
