Andaikan dulu, aku bicara
Mungkin kau masih disini
Memang salahku, yang tak peduli
Akan isyarat darimu
Kau coba raih simpati
Tapi ku menutup diri

Dan kau pun pergi jauh

Membawa luka kecil
Yang masih tersimpan dalam hatimu
Kaupun pergi jauh
Tinggalkan luka baru untukku

Ku tanya embun pagi
Ku tanya matahari
Ku tanya bintang, bulan, dan isi bumi

Ku cari kau disana, ku cari kau disini
Ke dasar laut, ke puncak gunung
Ku jalani semua
Ingin bertemu, lepaskan semua rinduku

Di saat tidurku, kau selalu hadir
Di dalam tidur kau tersenyum manis
Hingga pagi tiba dan aku pasti kecewa
Karena kau datang hanya dalam mimpi
Hanya di dalam mimpi

Andaikan dulu, aku bicara
Mungkin kau masih disini
Tak ada rasa bersalah
Tak ada rasa gelisah

Tapi kau pergi jauh
Membawa luka kecil
Yang masih tersimpan dalam hatimu
Kau pun pergi jauh
Tinggalkan luka baru untukku

Ku cari kau disana, ku cari kau disini
Ke dasar laut, ke puncak gunung
Ku jalani semua
Ingin bertemu, lepaskan semua rinduku

Di saat tidurku, kau selalu hadir
Di dalam tidur kau tersenyum manis
Hingga pagi tiba dan aku pasti kecewa
Karena kau datang hanya dalam mimpi
Hanya di dalam mimpi (senyummu, tawamu, wajahmu)

Andaikan dulu, aku bicara
Mungkin kau masih disini

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Jauh" by Jamrud talk about the regret of letting go of someone they loved. The singer wishes they had spoken up before the person they loved left them alone with a broken heart. The song begins with the singer's reflection on the things they could have done differently, realizing their mistakes, and how they did not pay attention to the person's signals. The singer acknowledges that their loved one tried to reach out for sympathy but they closed themselves off. The chorus talks about how the loved one left and took a small wound with them, leaving an even bigger wound in the singer's heart, as they questioned the natural elements of the world where they could search for their loved one. The second verse talks about how the singer constantly dreams about their loved one and wakes up disappointed to find that it was only a dream.

Overall, the song is about regret and lost love. The singer realizes their mistakes but the loved one is already gone. They search for them everywhere, from the bottom of the sea to the top of the mountain, hoping to find them and release their longing. However, they still wake up to find that their loved one is only a memory. This song is a somber reminder of how sometimes it takes losing someone to realize how much they meant to us.

Andaikan dulu, aku bicara
If only in the past, I had spoken up

Mungkin kau masih disini
Perhaps you would still be here

Memang salahku, yang tak peduli
It was my fault for not caring

Akan isyarat darimu
About your signals towards me

Kau coba raih simpati
You tried to gain sympathy

Tapi ku menutup diri
But I shut myself off

Dan kau pun pergi jauh
And you went far away

Membawa luka kecil
Carrying a small wound

Yang masih tersimpan dalam hatimu
That still lingers in your heart

Kaupun pergi jauh
You also went far away

Tinggalkan luka baru untukku
Leaving a new wound for me
