Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sengojo sun kalemno lakune jangkah iki
Myakne riko biso ngadangi
Sakat tukar hang gedemergo akeh timbange
Welas riko seng Saktemene
Sengojo sun kalemno lakune jangkah iki
Myakne riko biso ngadangi
Sakat tukar hang gedemergo akeh timbange
Welas riko seng Saktemene

Kadung wes ilang awak isun iki
Arepe sun ngadoh riko ngertenono
Dung memang sing biso riko mutusaken
Welas riko tebluke nong endi
Sengojo sun kalemno lakune jangkah iki
Myakne riko biso ngadangi
Sakat tukar hang gedemergo akeh timbange
Welas riko seng Saktemene
Kadung wes ilang awak isun iki
Arepe sun ngadoh riko ngertenono
Dung memang sing biso riko mutusaken
Welas riko tebluke nong endi
Kadung wes ilang awak isun iki
Arepe sun ngadoh riko ngertenono
Dung memang sing biso riko mutusaken
Welas riko tebluke nong endi
Kadung wes ilang awak isun iki
Arepe sun ngadoh riko ngertenono

Dung memang sing biso riko mutusaken
Welas riko tebluke nong endi

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mahesa's song Dilema explores the dilemma of someone who is in love with someone who does not reciprocate those feelings. The opening lines "Sengojo sun kalemno lakune jangkah iki, Myakne riko biso ngadangi" suggest that the singer is hesitating to express their love to the person they desire. They are afraid of being rejected, and they are uncertain about what to do.

The lyrics then go on to describe the weight of the emotional burden that the singer is carrying. They feel a deep sense of loss and sadness because they cannot be with the one they love. The lyric "Welas riko seng Saktemene" which means "my heart aches for you" conveys the profound pain and heartbreak that the singer is experiencing.

The song's title, Dilema, suggests that the singer is in a difficult position, torn between the desire to express their love and their fear of rejection. The repeating chorus, "Sengojo sun kalemno lakune jangkah iki, Myakne riko biso ngadangi, Sakat tukar hang gedemergo akeh timbange, Welas riko seng Saktemene," reinforces this sense of indecision and uncertainty.
