Sudah kulakukan semua
Bicara semua apa adanya
Hanya untuk sebuah kata
Uh, apa dirimu percaya
Perasaanku selama ini
Uh, mungkin suatu saat nanti
Bicaralah kini dan terangkanlah
Jikalau kau ingin memutuskan
Yakinkanlah ini dan katakan
Jangan berkata dalam hati
Lihatlah diriku
Dalam hati yang dalam, oh
Jangan coba tutupi dirimu
Hanya untuk mengucapkannya
Uh, apa dirimu percaya
Perasaanku selama ini
Uh, mungkin suatu saat nanti
Kau berikan yang pasti
Bicaralah kini dan terangkanlah
Jikalau kau ingin memutuskan
Yakinkanlah ini dan katakan
Jangan berkata dalam hati

The lyrics of Gugun Blues Shelter's song "Jangan Berkata Dalam Hati" (Don't Speak in Your Heart) convey a sentiment of frustration and longing for clear communication within a relationship. The first verse expresses the singer's feeling of having already said everything he needs to say, and the second verse pleads for the other person to speak and explain themselves clearly. The chorus emphasizes the importance of open communication, urging the other person not to keep their thoughts and feelings hidden in their heart.
Throughout the song, the lyrics hint at an unresolved conflict or misunderstanding between the two people. The singer's repeated plea to "say it out loud" and "convey it clearly" suggests a feeling of uncertainly and lack of closure. The final repetition of "don't speak in your heart" is particularly poignant, highlighting the emotional distance that can develop when people avoid expressing themselves directly.
Overall, "Jangan Berkata Dalam Hati" showcases Gugun's ability to blend blues and rock with emotional lyrics that resonate with listeners.
