Hmm-hmm
Hatiku merasa gembira (hura-hura)
Hmm-hmm
Bertemu pandang dengan kau, sayang (hura-hura)

Debar jantungku menderu-deru (du-ah, du-ah)
Kala kautatap dan aku tersirat (du-ah, du-ah)

Ohh, sukacita (rasa sukacita)
Datang menjelma (datang menjelma)
Bersama jabatan
Tanganmu yang hangat (ohh-ohh)
Dalam pelukanmu
Kecupan di bibir, bibir, bibirmu, ohh

Hmm-hmm
Aku hidup merasa bahagia (hura-hura)
Hmm-hmm
Berkasih mesra denganmu, sayang (hura-hura)

Degup nadiku menggebu-gebu (du-ah, du-ah)
Kaucumbu rayu tiada jemu-jemu (du-ah, du-ah)

Ohh, duka lara (rasa duka lara)
Musnah segera (kini hanya suka)
Jantung berderap (derap, derap, derap)
Tubuhku bergetar
Tatkala kaucium, cium

Ciumanmu hangat
Ciumanmu mesra
Menggugah semangat
Menikmati dunia, ohh

Ohh, duka lara (rasa duka lara)
Musnah segera (kini lainnya sirna)
Jantung berderap (derap, derap, derap)
Tubuhku bergetar
Tatkala kaucium, cium

Ciumanmu hangat
Ciumanmu mesra
Menggugah semangat
Menikmati dunia

Ciumanmu hangat
Ciumanmu mesra
Menggugah semangat
Menikmati dunia, ohh

Ciumanmu hangat
Ciumanmu mesra

Menggugah semangat
Menikmati dunia, ohh

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of "Hura-Hura" express the feeling of joy that the singer is experiencing. They feel happy and overjoyed, and the repetition of the word "hura-hura" emphasizes this emotion. The next lines describe a moment when the singer meets someone they love ("bertemu pandang dengan kau, sayang"), and their heart starts beating fast ("debar jantungku menderu-deru").

The chorus talks about the feeling of happiness that comes with being with the person they love ("aku hidup merasa bahagia" and "berkasih mesra denganmu, sayang"). The "du-ah, du-ah" sound represents the sound of a beating heart, which is described as "menggebu-gebu" (beating passionately) when the person they love whispers sweet nothings ("kaucumbu rayu tiada jemu-jemu"). The singer is overwhelmed with emotion, and they feel their body tremble ("tubuhku bergetar") as they receive kisses ("ciumanmu") from their lover.

The song describes the powerful emotions that come with falling in love and being with someone you care about deeply. The repetition of the "du-ah, du-ah" sound throughout the song and the use of the word "hura-hura" give it a playful and joyful feel, while the romantic lyrics express the intensity of the singer's feelings for their lover.
