Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hidupku tanpamu di sisi
Hari-hari ku tangisi
Segala memori janji ku mungkiri
Engkau masih aku rindu
Walau tak pernah engkau tahu
Hanya satu harapanku
Aku lepas semua pergi
Bukan kerna aku benci
Tapi kerna ku terlalu mencintai
Percayalah oh sayangku
Nikmati dulu usiamu
Nanti kau temu cintamu
Bukan aku

Tak mudah aku jalani
I find it hard to live
Hidupku tanpamu di sisi
Without you by my side
Hari-hari ku tangisi
I cry every day
Segala memori janji ku mungkiri
I broke all of the promises we made
Engkau masih aku rindu
I still miss you
Walau tak pernah engkau tahu
Although you never knew
Hanya satu harapanku
My only hope
Moga kau selalu maafkan diriku
Is that you will always forgive me
Aku lepas semua pergi
I let everything go
Bukan kerna aku benci
Not because I hate you
Tapi kerna ku terlalu mencintai
But because I loved you too much
Percayalah oh sayangku
Believe me, my love
Nikmati dulu usiamu
Enjoy your youth first
Nanti kau temu cintamu
You will find your true love
Bukan aku
But it won't be me
