Kabari Aku
Jamrud Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Membentang luas samudra biru
Memisahkan kita
Inginku berenang ke kotamu
Tapi pasti tenggelam dan kau sedih
Kirimu aku kabarmu disana
Lewat telepon email atau chatting
Ngobatin rinduku
Biar nanti kupajang dikamarku
Ngurangin beban ini
Ngurangin sesak ini
Ngurangin rasa ingin bertemu
Nggak perlu curiga
Karena tahu kau masih
Memegang janji yang dulu pernah kita sepakati
Aku disini kau ada disana
Membentang luas samudra biru
Memisahkan kita
Inginku terbang bersama angin
Tapi nanti tersesat dan kau sedih
Ngurangin beban ini
Ngurangin sesak ini
Ngurangin rasa ingin bertemu
Nggak perlu curiga
Karena tahu kau masih
Memegang janji yang dulu pernah kita sepakati
Mungkin tak lama lagi
Aku hadir disana
Atau tak lama lagi
Kau yang ada disini
Mungkin tak lama lagi
Aku hadir disana
Atau tak lama lagi
Kau yang ada disini
Mungkin tak lama lagi
Kau yang ada disini
The lyrics to Jamrud's song Kabari Aku tell the story of two people who are separated by distance. The singer is in one place while the person they are singing to is in another, with a vast blue ocean separating them. The singer expresses their desire to be with the other person, either by swimming or flying, but acknowledges that this is not possible without them drowning or getting lost. Instead, they ask for regular updates through phone calls, emails, or chats, with pictures that they can hang in their room to ease their longing. The singer is hopeful that they will someday be reunited, believing that the other person still holds the promise they made to each other.
This song can be seen as a representation of the challenges that many people face in long-distance relationships. Despite the physical distance, the emotional connection and commitment remain strong. The singer's willingness to wait and hold onto the promises they made to each other is heartwarming, and the use of water and air as symbols for the separation shows the depth of their longing.

Membentang luas samudra biru

Or maybe soon
