First Love
Maudy Ayunda Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everyone can see
there’s a change in me
they all say i’m not the same
kid i used to be

Don’t go out and play
i just dream all day
they don’t know what’s wrong with me
and I’m too shy to say

It’s my first love
what I’m dreaming of
when I go to bed
when I lay my head upon my pillow
don’t know what to do

mM first love
he thinks that I’m too young
he doesn’t even know
wish that i could show him what I’m feeling
cause i’m feeling my first love
(don’t know what to do, my first love)

Mirror on the wall (mirror mirror hanging on the wall)
does he care at all (does he care at all)
will he ever notice me
could he ever fall

Tell me teddy bear (tell me teddy fair)
why love is so unfair (so unfair)
will I ever find a way
an answer to my prayer

My first love
he thinks that i’m too young
he doesn’t even know
wish that i could show him what I’m feeling
cause i’m feeling my first love

It’s my first love
what I’m dreaming of
when I go to bed
when I lay my head upon my pillow
don’t know what to do

My first love
he thinks that
I’m too young
he doesn’t even know




wish that I could show him what I’m feeling
cause I’m feeling my first love

Overall Meaning

Maudy Ayunda's song 'First Love' explores the innocence and uncertainty of a young girl experiencing her first love. The lyrics begin with the girl feeling like she has changed and is no longer the same kid she used to be. This is likely due to the newfound feelings and emotions she has towards her crush. She dreams all day and is too shy to speak her mind, leading to confusion and frustration. The repetition of 'don't know what to do' emphasizes this helplessness and uncertainty.


The chorus repeats the idea of it being her first love and dreaming of what could be, but with the added layer of her crush thinking she's too young and not even being aware of her feelings. This adds to the feeling of unrequited love and increases the importance of the girl wanting to show him how she truly feels. The bridge brings in the idea of the mirror and the teddy bear, representing her need for reassurance and seeking answers to why love is so unfair. Overall, the song effectively captures the emotional turmoil of a young girl experiencing her first love and the innocence and uncertainty that comes with it.

veryone can see
There's a change in me
They all say
I'm not the same kid I used to be

Don't go out and play
I just dream all day
They don't know what's wrong with me
And I'm too shy to say

It's my first love
What I dreaming of
When I go to bed
When I lay my head upon my pillow
Don't know what to do

My first love
Thinks that I'm too young
He doesn't even know
Wish that I could show him what I'm feeling
Cause I'm feeling my first love

Mirror on the wall
Does he care at all?
Will he ever notice me
Could he ever fall?
Tell me, teddy bear
Why love is so unfair
Will he ever find a way
And answer to my prayers?

It's my first love
What I dreaming of
When I go to bed
When I lay my head upon my pillow
Don't know what to do

My first love
Thinks that I'm too young
He doesn't even know
Wish that I could show him what I'm feeling
Cause I'm feeling my first love

penyanyi aslinya adalah, NIKKA COSTA, lagu ini pertama ada pd tahun 1980, di usung album on my own pada tahun 1981.
nikka costa lahir di tokyo pd thn 1972, disaat dia berumur 7 th dia telah memiliki album natal, bersama ayahnya, dia trus mengembangkan bakat musicnya. selang brapa bulan stelah album on my own, launching ayahnya pun meninggal mendadak. konser terakhir yg terdengar ke publik saat salah satu station tv mengundang beliau, untuk lagu tembang kenangan, dan beliau membawakan lagu my first love dengan bercucuran air mata di susul dengan lagu on my own yg penuh emosional menyanyikannya.

Salut dgn Mbak Maudy Ayunda mengaransement lagu2 lawas spt First Love-nya Nikka Costa. Selain Maudy Ayunda ada penyanyi lokal yg meng-arransement lagu barat era 80an yakni Yana Yulio dgn lagu "All I Am"

Reff:
Percayalah
Hanya diriku paling mengerti
Kegelisahan jiwamu, kasih
Dan arti kata kecewamu
Kasih, yakinlah
Hanya aku yang paling memahami
Besar arti kejujuran diri
Indah sanubarimu, kasih
Percayalah
