Klaten
Gribs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Aku tersesat di klaten
Mencoba membunuh waktu
Jakarta terbentah jauh... jauh sekali

Malam terasa lama
Angin berhembus panas
Keringat menjadi saksi... Aku harus kembali
Hay klaten... ku'kan kembali lagi, tak terlupakan
Hay klaten... ku'kan kesini lagi, nyawaku tertinggal disana

Wajah wajah yang bersahabat
Kukenang dengan hebat
Kutak ingin kenangan ini... terlindas dideretan Rel... rel... rel kereta

Hay klaten... ku'kan kembali lagi, tak terlupakan
Hay klaten... ku'kan kesini lagi, nyawaku tertinggal





Hay klaten... ku'kan kembali lagi, tak terlupakan
Hay klaten... ku'kan kesini lagi, nyawaku tertinggal disana

Overall Meaning

He reminisces about the friendly faces he met there, but also expresses a sense of longing to return to Jakarta, which feels far away. The night drags on, and the hot winds make him sweat, but he knows he must return to his life. Despite this, he vows to come back to Klaten, which he describes as "unforgettable," and where he feels his spirit is left behind.


The lyrics contain a sense of nostalgia and longing for a place that is both comforting and unfamiliar. The singer is physically lost in Klaten, but seems to have found emotional connections that he wants to hold onto. The references to trains and rails in the final lines suggest a sense of movement and travel, and the possibility of being carried back to Klaten again.
