Penari
Inul Daratista Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gemulai gerakanmu itu
Menarik semua mata
Lentiknya jemarimu, indah
Hadirkan kemesraan

Penari, kau yang terlahir
Sebagai penghibur
Seakan kau tak mau peduli
Banyak yang mengganggu

Gemulai gerakanmu itu
Menarik semua mata
Lentiknya jemarimu, indah
Hadirkan kemesraan

Pernahkah engkau terima
Kenyataan hidup?
Pernahkah kau coba mengerti
Cintamu semu?

Dia yang datang tak hanya untukmu
Di mana kau yang s′lalu menunggu? Oh-oh-oh
Apakah engkau masih mencari
Keinginan gemerlapnya dunia? Oh, penari

Gemulai gerakanmu itu
Menarik semua mata
Lentiknya jemarimu, indah
Hadirkan kemesraan

Pernahkah engkau terima
Kenyataan hidup?
Pernahkah kau coba mengerti
Cintamu semu?





Dia yang datang tak hanya untukmu
Di mana kau yang s'lalu menunggu? Oh-oh-oh
Apakah engkau masih mencari
Keinginan gemerlapnya dunia? Oh, penari

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Inul Daratista's song Penari, which translates to 'Dancer', speak of a dancer who captivates the attention of all those around her with her graceful movements and beautiful fingers. The singer praises the dancer, acknowledging her as a entertainer who seems unbothered by the distractions around her. However, the song takes a turn as the lyrics question whether the dancer has ever truly experienced the struggles of life and whether she understands the true meaning of love. The lyrics go on to suggest that the dancer is still searching for the glittering desires of the world, despite the fact that the one she is waiting for may not be coming just for her.


The song seems to highlight the often overlooked and underappreciated struggles of entertainers and performers. It questions whether the attention that they receive and the adoration of their fans can make up for the difficulty of their lives. The lyrics suggest that the dancer may be searching for something more significant than fame and fortune, while still feeling the pressure to maintain her image.


Interestingly, the lyrics are also used as a metaphor for the emptiness and lack of fulfillment that can come with the pursuit of materialistic desires, particularly in the entertainment industry.
