Serenade
G.Ginzburg Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Apakah ini nyata
Atau hanya bayangan
Ketika kau turun menemuiku

Kau kibaskan basah rambutmu
Engkaulah gadis yang hadir di mimpiku
Lidahku kelu tercekat

Kuhela nafas dalam
Mengatur debar jantungku
Hanya sepenggal kata yang kutangkap
Ketika kau bicara panjang
Aku hanyut di arus asmara
Rasanya aku tenggelam

Semakin jauh bayang senyummu
Tak mampu kubuang
Aku jatuh hati
Saat pertama menatapmu

Mungkinkah samudra
Dapat menolong aku
Mengungkapkan rasa
Cintaku yang membara
Tetapi badai mengingatkanku
Untuk menyerah
Sebab engkau terlalu tinggi untuk kuraih
Sebab engkau terlalu jauh untuk kurengkuh

Mungkinkah samudra
Dapat menolong aku
Mengungkapkan rasa
Cintaku yang membara
Tetapi badai mengingatkanku
Untuk menyerah

Sebab engkau terlalu tinggi untuk kuraih
Sebab engkau terlalu jauh untuk kurengkuh
