Jamrud Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nongkrong sendirian di pinggir pantai
Ngilangin boringku
Meski kulit gosong disengat panas
Aku sih asyik aja

Ku tatap samudra, ku tatap ombak
Ku tatap spasang tangan melambai
Sambil berteriak meronta-ronta

Di tengah laut lepas

Langsung menyelam ku tolong dia
Mirip Baywatch di TV
Kucium seperti di P3K
Ku malah nagih... lagi... lagi...

Pasir putih di rambutmu
Pasir putih di keningmu
Body putih di pelukku

Seakan tak ingin lepas
Terus mendekap sepanjang hari

Nongkrong berduaan di pinggir pantai
Menjalin asmara
Meski kulit gosong disengat panas
Kita sih asyik aja

Langsung menyelam ku tolong dia
Mirip Baywatch di TV
Kucium seperti di P3K
Ku malah nagih... lagi... lagi...

Pasir putih di rambutmu
Pasir putih di keningmu
Body putih di pelukku

Pasir putih di rambutmu
Pasir putih di keningmu
Body putih di pelukku

Seakan tak ingin lepas
Terus mendekap sepanjang hari

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jamrud's "Bay Watch" depict the enjoyment of being alone on the beach and enjoying the beauty of the ocean waves, with the hot sun warming the skin. The singer watches the ocean, waves, and people raising their hands at sea while shouting with joy. Suddenly, the singer dives into the water to help someone, reminiscent of the famous rescue scenes from Baywatch on TV.

As the singer kisses the victim, he becomes addicted to the experience and wants it to happen over and over again. Later on, the scene changes, and the singer seems to be in a relationship with someone else, still enjoying the beach life, and cherishing the time spent with his partner. He embraces his partner tightly, reluctant to let go.

The song is an ode to the beach life, and the feeling of relaxation and freedom that comes with spending time there. It also highlights the importance of being there for others and helping them when they need it, just as lifeguards do.
