Sewajarnya bila terjadi
Diriku mencintaimu
Dan kau pun hadir mengisi hari-hariku
Seharusnya dalam jalannya
Waktu kan menguji segalanya
Akankah kita menggapai asa
Selama kau dan aku mau
Yakin kan terucap bahwa

Kita satu tak terpisah
Bahagialah selamanya

Maafkan bila ku selalu
Meragukan kesungguhanmu
Yang mungkin bagiku terlalu cepat
Selama kau dan aku mau
Yakin kan terucap bahwa

Kita satu tak terpisah
Bahagialah selamanya
Kita satu tak terpisah
Bahagialah selamanya

Kita satu tak terpisah
Bahagialah selamanya
Kita satu tak terpisah

Bahagialah selamanya selamanya
Oh selamanya selamanya

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kerispatih's "Kita Satu" talk about a relationship that is facing challenges but the couple remain together and eventually overcome them. The first verse talks about how the singer loves the person they are with and how that person makes their days better. However, life has its obstacles, and the two are faced with challenges that will test their commitment to each other. The singer expresses hope that they will be able to overcome the hurdles if both parties are willing to be together. The chorus then repeats the notion that they are one and can never be separated, and they will remain happy for eternity.

The second verse sees the singer asking for forgiveness because they have doubted their partner's sincerity. They felt it was too good to be true and felt that perhaps things were moving too fast. However, they conclude by echoing the same message from the first verse, that they will remain one and happy forever as long as they both want the same thing.
