Kerispatih was founded on 22 April 2003. They started by playing ethnic Indonesian music, releasing their first album, Gulalikustik, in 2004. After being approached and signed by the record label Nagaswara, they switched to pop as it was more commercially viable.
Their first album with Nagaswara, "Kejujuran Hati" (The Heart's Honesty), was released in 2005 and went platinum; three songs from the album, "Kejujuran Hati", "Cinta Putih" ("White Love") and "Lagu Rindu" ("Song of Longing"), were released as singles. In 2007, they released a second album, "Kenyataan Perasaan" (The Truth of the Feelings), with the songs "Mengenangmu" ("Remembering You"), "Tapi Bukan Aku" ("But Not I"), "Sepanjang Usia" ("For All My Life") and "Untuk Pertama Kali" ("For the First Time") as singles; this album also went platinum. That same year they also sang one song, "Kawan" ("Friend") for the compilation album Rinduku Padamu (My Longing For You), written by Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono; the album sold 40,000 copies.
Another platinum certified album, "Tak Lekang Oleh Waktu" (Unbridled by Time) was released the following year, with singer Syahrini as a guest vocalist; the album also featured a song, "Kawanku" ("My Friend") written by President Yudhyono. Selling 25,000 copies in a short period of time, two of its songs were released as singles, "Bila Rasaku Ini Rasamu" ("If this Feeling of Mine is Yours") and "Demi Cinta" ("For Love"). This was followed in 2009 by Semua Tentang Cinta (Everything About Love), which had one single.
Sammy's departure & new vocalist: At first, the band consisted of vocalist Hendra Samuel Simorangkir (Sammy), keyboardist Doadibadai Hollo (Badai), guitarist Arief Nurdiansyah Morada, drummer M. Anton Suryo Sularjo Wahyu Nugroho Kusumo, and bassist Andika Putrasahadewa. After Sammy was arrested and convicted of possession of crystal meth in 2010, he was fired from the group and replaced by Fandy Santoso, a finalist in the fourth season of Indonesian Idol.
Kejujuran Hati
Kerispatih Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Setiap kali kudengar namanya kau sebut
Tapi ku tak pernah bisa
Melakukan apa yang seharusnya kulakukan
Karena memang kau bukan milikku
Kuakui aku merindukanmu
Meski ternyata tak pernah kau merindukanku
Melakukan apa yang seharusnya kuinginkan
Karena memang kau bukan milikku
Reff :
Sesungguhnya ku tak rela
Jika kau tetap bersama dirinya
Hempaskan cinta yang kuberi
Semampunya ku mencoba
Tetap setia menjaga s'galanya
Demi cinta yang tak pernah berakhir
(Kejujuran hati yang tak mungkin dapat ku pungkiri)
(Keinginanku untuk kau tau isi di hatiku)
The song "Kejujuran Hati" by Kerispatih is a poignant song that delves into the emotions of jealousy and unrequited love. The lyrics reveal a sense of helplessness and frustration that the singer feels towards their love interest. They admit that they are indeed jealous every time they hear the person's name mentioned, but they cannot seem to do anything about it. The singer also mentions that they miss the person, even though it is clear that the feeling is not mutual. The words "Karena memang kau bukan milikku" (Because you don't belong to me) is repeated twice throughout the song, emphasizing the fact that the singer will never have a chance with their love interest.
The chorus is the most powerful part of the song, where the singer reveals their true feelings. They cannot imagine the thought of the person they love being with someone else, and they profess their love by saying they will throw it all away if it means the person will be with them instead. The last two lines, "Kejujuran hati yang tak mungkin dapat ku pungkiri / Keinginanku untuk kau tau isi di hatiku" (The honesty of my heart that I cannot deny / My desire for you to know what's in my heart) convey the message of the song beautifully. The singer wants to be honest about their feelings, but they cannot bring themselves to confess them outright.

Kuakui aku memang cemburu
I admit that I am indeed jealous
Setiap kali kudengar namanya kau sebut
Every time I hear you mention his name
Tapi ku tak pernah bisa
But I just can't
Melakukan apa yang seharusnya kulakukan
Do what I should do
Karena memang kau bukan milikku
Because you're not mine
Kuakui aku merindukanmu
I admit I miss you
Meski ternyata tak pernah kau merindukanku
Even though you never miss me
Tapi ku tak pernah bisa
But I just can't
Melakukan apa yang seharusnya kuinginkan
Do what I really want
Karena memang kau bukan milikku
Because you're not mine
Sesungguhnya ku tak rela
Truly, I am unwilling
Jika kau tetap bersama dirinya
If you stay with him
Hempaskan cinta yang kuberi
I'll throw away the love I gave
Semampunya ku mencoba
As much as I can try
Tetap setia menjaga s'galanya
To stay loyal and protect everything
Demi cinta yang tak pernah berakhir
For a love that never ends
(Kejujuran hati yang tak mungkin dapat ku pungkiri)
(The honesty of my heart that I cannot deny)
(Keinginanku untuk kau tau isi di hatiku)

2 tahun yg lalu pdkt sama cewe
Sampe dek'et banget malah
Pas ada rencana buat melamar
Denger kbar dari kawan, katanya doi di jodoin sama mamaknya
Ak ambil tabungan ku semua
Diplomasi keluarga tak bisa
Ak ajak kabur dia ke Sumatra
Dia ngga mau, katanya ngga mau jadi anak durhaka
Sempat ada rencana memanipulasi kenyataan dengan cara salah(oib)
Tapi ngga jadi
karna stelah k selidiki tErnyata laki² yg di jodoin sama dia anak orang berada,
Beradat, berlembaga, berketurunan
Jiwa miskin k bergetar seperti alarm emak emak mau arisan
19 hari ak dengerin/gitaran pake ini lgu
Sampe sampe di kira pengamen di taman kota
