Retak
Han Byul Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Inikah kita jalan yang rentan sampai ke ujung
Meleburkan janji dan gundah semua tanya
Terasing lagi dari cintamu, apa daya ku
Mengharapkan belas kataku yang telah rapuh

Entah apa menghalangi masa
Dan merebut janjiku
Tak dapat ku intai
Kini aku telah merasakan

Andai masa dapat terulang
Mengarang semua retak hidupku
Dapat aku lari dari tentangan ini

Meski dapat aku sadari
Apakah mungkin aku penuhi
Hanya tinggal diriku, getir sendiri

Entah apa menghalangi masa
Dan merebut janjiku
Tak dapat ku intai
Kini aku telah merasakan

Andai masa dapat terulang
Mengarang semua retak hidupku
Dapat aku lari dari tentangan ini

Meski dapat aku sadari




Apakah mungkin aku penuhi
Hanya tinggal diriku, getir sendiri

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Han Byul's song "Retak," which translates to "Crack," explores the frailty of a relationship and the singer's personal struggles in dealing with it. The song opens with questioning whether the couple's journey together is fragile and uncertain. The singer is burdened with feelings of anxiety and doubt, and the relationship seems to be deteriorating, causing the singer to feel alienated from their partner's love. The choice of words like "rentan" (fragile) and "meleburkan janji" (breaking promises) adds to the overall melancholy tone of the song.


The following verses further reveal the singer's desperation and longing for their partner's love. They express their helplessness when faced with the circumstances of their relationship and the overwhelming emotions that come with it. The word "retak" itself can have different meanings, but in the context of the song, it seems to refer to the cracks or flaws in the relationship that are too significant to ignore. The singer knows that they are alone in dealing with the emotional turmoil and wonders if they will ever be able to heal these cracks.


Overall, "Retak" reflects on the difficulties of maintaining a relationship and highlights the importance of communication and trust for a relationship to thrive. The song's lyrics showcase Han Byul's ability to convey complex emotions through simple yet powerful words.


Line by Line Meaning

Inikah kita jalan yang rentan sampai ke ujung
Is this the vulnerable path we're on that leads to the end?


Meleburkan janji dan gundah semua tanya
Melting away promises and worries to obtain peace of mind


Terasing lagi dari cintamu, apa daya ku
Being estranged from your love again, what can I do?


Mengharapkan belas kataku yang telah rapuh
Expecting my frail words to be kind


Entah apa menghalangi masa
I don't know what's blocking the way


Dan merebut janjiku
And stealing my promises


Tak dapat ku intai
Unable to catch them


Kini aku telah merasakan
Now I have felt


Andai masa dapat terulang
If time could repeat itself


Mengarang semua retak hidupku
Authoring all the cracks in my life


Dapat aku lari dari tentangan ini
I could escape from this opposition


Meski dapat aku sadari
Even if I realize


Apakah mungkin aku penuhi
Whether I can fulfill it


Hanya tinggal diriku, getir sendiri
It's only me left, bitter and alone

Extiende el corazΓ³n
lena forzada
bellamente grabado
el amor habla
Estoy tratando de expresar
el efecto que das

herido durante el dΓ­a
feliz noche
Buenos recuerdos
sigue brillando
Estoy tratando de expresar
el efecto que das

Llora el rocΓ­o de la maΓ±ana
navegando por este dolor
No te perseguirΓ©
ΒΏPor quΓ© te fuiste?

Ahora estas agotado
esperanza del resto de los recuerdos
No puedo permitirme continuar
Vendaste una herida venenosa

μ‚¬λž‘ ν•˜λ©΄ μ•ˆλ˜μ„œ
(No puedo amar)
κ·Έλ ‡κ²Œ μžŠμ„μˆ˜ 만 μžˆλ‹€λ©΄
(Si puedo olvidar asi)
그토둝 λ°”λž˜ μ™”λ˜ μ‚¬λž‘ 이
(El amor que tanto he esperado)
λ‹€μ‹œ 또 μžˆμ„κΉŒ
(HabrΓ‘ de nuevo)

Maravilloso recuerdo
Estamos juntos
lo siento por esto
Te ha hecho atormentado
Heridas y feliz

(Letra oficial por PaoCruz)

I’ve been following him since his LEDApple days until now and it’s still hard for me to believe that he is singing malay song so fluently! I hope he can held a mini concert for his fans here in Malaysia because I’ve been waiting for that day since forever! Keep up the good work hanbyul πŸ₯Ίβ€οΈ
