Senandung Lagu Lama
Mondo Gascaro Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mengapa hatiku
Ingin melagu rindu
Hampa sudah cipta
Hilang pula harapan

Alam tiada bergema
Malam kelam membisu
Namun malam ini

Di malam nan sunyi
Menimbulkan kenangan

Hatiku ingin melagukan
Senandung merdu lagu lama
Kau hanya kenangan
Kenangan yang hampa

Mengapa hatiku
Ingin melagu rindu
Karena sentiasa
Terkenang padamu

Hatiku ingin menyanyikan
Senandung merdu lagu lama
Kau hanya kenangan
Kenangan yang hampa

Mengapa hatiku ...

Overall Meaning

The song "Senandung Lagu Lama" by Mondo Gascaro is a beautiful song that captures the pain and longing of a heart that is still stuck in the past. The lyrics describe a heart that is filled with emptiness and hopelessness, as the person is unable to let go of their memories of a past lover. The first few lines of the song, "Mengapa hatiku ingin melagu rindu, hampa sudah cipta, hilang pula harapan," are particularly poignant as they express the emptiness that the person is feeling in their heart. The person longs to sing a melody of the past, to relive the memories that they hold so dear.

The second verse "Alam tiada bergema, malam kelam membisu, namun malam ini, di malam nan sunyi, menimbulkan kenangan" further emphasizes the sense of loneliness that the person is feeling. The night is silent, and there is no echo from nature or any other sound, and this exacerbates the person's grief. But at the same time, the silence brings back memories of the past, and they cannot help but dwell on them.

The chorus expresses the person's desire to sing a melody of the past, to relive the memories that they hold so dear. The person wants to sing a beautiful melody that will remind them of their past lover, and they long for the comfort that this will bring. The song beautifully captures the pain of a heart that is trapped in the past and is unable to let go.
