Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mergo tresno seng liyane
Lungo o seng adoh kowe seng marai
Atiku cidro
Aku mung biso dedungo mugo sliramu
Oleh opo seng mbok karepno
Kowe omong karo aku ning alun alun
Ati seng koyo watu dadine koyo banyu
Mergo omonganmu seng koyo madu
Tak cubo percoyo tresnamu neng aku
Kowe omong karo aku ra bakal ngeliyo
Nanging nyatane tresnomu kanggo wong liyoo
Koyo ngene rasane ditinggalne
Mergo tresno seng liyane
Lungo o seng adoh kowe seng marai
Atiku cidro
Aku mung biso dedungo mugo sliramu
Oleh opo seng mbok karepno
Neng ndi janjimu seng wingi kui
Kowe omong karo aku ning alun alun
Ati seng koyo watu dadine koyo banyu
Mergo omonganmu seng koyo madu
Tak cubo percoyo tresnamu neng aku
Kowe omong karo aku ra bakal ngeliyo
Nanging nyatane tresnomu kanggo wong liyoo
Loro rasane atiku kowe disanding wong liyooo
These lyrics are in Javanese language and it seems that they convey the feelings of heartbreak and betrayal in a relationship. The first verse talks about feeling abandoned because of someone else's love. The singer expresses their hurt and confusion, questioning why their partner spoke sweet words but now distances themselves. They imply that the partner's promises made in the past are contradicted by their current actions, leaving the singer feeling deceived.
The chorus repeats the feeling of being left behind due to someone else's love, emphasizing the pain and the sense of being fooled. The second verse follows a similar theme, where the singer reflects on the promises made by their partner and how they used to talk and express their love openly. However, the partner's words are compared to poison, as they have turned out to be false and deceptive. The singer expresses their desire to believe in their partner's love for them, but they acknowledge that their partner's actions suggest otherwise.
The repeating phrase at the end of each verse, "Loro rasane atiku kowe disanding wong liyooo" can be translated to "My heart aches when I think of you with someone else." This line further emphasizes the pain and jealousy the singer feels knowing that their partner has moved on with someone new.
Overall, the lyrics of "The Promise" depict the emotional turmoil and heartbreak experienced when someone's love and promises turn out to be false and they choose to be with someone else.
