It's Not Over
Love Turns Hate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
nama penyalah aku.
Nyentuk ke nuan ambai,
ditemu ku belalai,
bekirum surat enggau bungai.
Uji madah ke aku,
nyema nadai pengerindu,
Enti udah nadai jalai,
badu meh tua begulai,
taja pedih beserara enggau ambai.
Ukai ku enda madah dulu suba,
nuan pan sanggup begulai merinsa.
Tang diatu aku dikemula,
jaku enggau ati udah enda sebaka.
Mulut madah sayau, tang pengerindu lenyau.
Aku ditu merampau, nadai nuan irau.
Ukai amu sayau, ukai ku amu pengerindu
tang atiku cukup sinu.
Taja nuan enda sayau, taja nuan enda rindu,
ku meruan ngenang nuan sulu.
These lyrics are in the Iban language, spoken by the Iban people of Sarawak, Malaysia. It tells a story of a broken relationship where the singer is pouring out their heart to their ex-partner. The first verse talks about how the singer is now filled with regret and blames themselves for the downfall of the relationship. They are trying to reach out to their ex-partner to communicate their feelings but are unable to do so. The lines "Nyentuk ke nuan ambai, ditemu ku belalai, bekirum surat enggau bungai" roughly translate to "I tried to write you a letter, using flowers as a pen, but my feelings remain trapped inside".
The second verse sees the singer begging their ex-partner to communicate with them, but they get no response. The lines "badu meh tua begulai, taja pedih beserara enggau ambai" roughly translate to "If there's no way forward, let's end things peacefully, instead of continuing to hurt each other and pretend everything's fine". The singer then reflects on how, in the beginning, they were happy and in love, but now they're alone and filled with regret. The lines "Tang diatu aku dikemula, jaku enggau ati udah enda sebaka" roughly translate to "Once upon a time, we started out happy, our hearts beating as one, but now we are no longer together".
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on a relationship that has ended, with the singer trying to communicate their feelings of regret and longing for their ex-partner. The use of metaphorical language such as flowers as a pen, and the contrast between the past love and the current loneliness and regret, adds to the emotional weight of the lyrics.

"Love Turned Hate"
You watched me in my struggle
And you were there to hold my hand
And I felt you wipe the tears from my eyes
That's why I don't understand
These words you say, the way you change, yeah
You know it's written on your face
I've seen love turned to hate
You're giving yourself away
It's too late
Whenever you're gonna say is that enough
Now we can never go back
I think we're done but you already know that
Love just turned to hate
You're giving yourself away
So we got ourselves a situation
I got my papers in my hand
And I seem to be the one to pay the price
Though I'm not the guilty man
These words they hurt, but what it's worse
Yeah, it's what it's written on your face
I've seen love turned to hate
You're giving yourself away
It's too late
Whenever you're gonna say is that enough
Now we can never go back
I think we're done but you already know that
Love just turned to hate
You're giving yourself away
Your love's so fine
But I still don't understand the reason
The reason why
Now it's too late
Whenever you're gonna say is that enough
Now we can never go back
I think we're done but you already know that
Love just turned to hate
You're giving yourself away
Giving yourself away
Giving yourself away

Very talented, another GREAT song. I really hate when real talent is overshadowed by individuals who only have the skill of using sex to sell.
