Asmara
Novia Kolopaking Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sendiri
Kukemas air mata di pipi
Tak percaya ku yang telah terjadi
Cintamu kini telah terbagi
Haruskah cinta aku akhiri
Hanya sampai di sini

Tak mungkin
Aku berpaling dan menyesali
Tercabik hati ingin meronta
Jangan kau rejam gairah yang ada
Haruskah aku mengemis cinta
Untuk menghilangkan duka

Asmara
Ke mana lagi akan kucari
Siapa yang kan mengusir sepi
Di saat ku sendiri ho

Asmara
Mungkinkah kau sampaikan padanya
Walau hatiku penuh derita
Aku masih selalu cinta

Jangan kau rejam gairah yang ada
Haruskah aku mengemis cinta
Untuk menghilangkan duka

Asmara
Ke mana lagi akan kucari
Siapa yang kan mengusir sepi
Di saat ku sendiri hu oh

Asmara




Mungkinkah kau sampaikan padanya
Walau hatiku penuh derita
Aku masih selalu cinta
Aku masih selalu cinta
Aku masih selalu cinta

Overall Meaning

In Novia Kolopaking's song "Asmara," the singer portrays the heartbreak and pain that comes from a lost love. The lyrics express the singer's reluctance to accept the reality of the situation and the disbelief that their partner's love has been divided. The singer then questions whether they should end their own love for this person. The chorus reveals the heart of the song, as the singer asks the elusive feeling of love where they can find solace and escape from the loneliness that comes with a broken heart. The singer is also open to the possibility of their love being conveyed to their former partner, despite the pain they feel. The final repetition of "Aku masih selalu cinta" translates to "I still love you" in English, revealing that even though the singer is struggling with heartbreak, their heart still belongs to the lost love.


One interesting fact about this song is that it was released in 1991, but it remained a hit in Indonesia for several years afterward. "Asmara" has become a classic Indonesian ballad and is still frequently played on the radio and at weddings. Additionally, Novia Kolopaking, who is of mixed Indonesian-Chinese ancestry, was one of the most popular female singers in Indonesia during the 1980s and 1990s, and "Asmara" remains one of her most iconic songs.


Another fascinating detail about this song is that it was initially composed by songwriter Yovie Widianto as an upbeat, disco-style track. However, Kolopaking herself suggested slowing down the tempo and adding a piano melody, which transformed the song into the poignant ballad that has endured over the decades. The song's lyrics were written by Dodo Zakaria and had been intended for another song. Still, they were eventually repurposed for "Asmara" to provide a heart-wrenching insight into the pain of lost love.


Other interesting facts about "Asmara" include its use in several Indonesian TV dramas and films, its inclusion in various compilations of Indonesian classics and tribute albums for Novia Kolopaking, and its popularity among karaoke enthusiasts in Indonesia.

Sendiri ...
Kukemas air mata di pipi
Tak percaya 'ku yang telah terjadi
Cintamu kini telah terbagi
Haruskah cinta aku akhiri
Hanya sampai di sini?

Tak mungkin
Aku berpaling dan menyesali
Tercabik hati ingin meronta
Jangan kau rejam gairah yang ada
Haruskah aku mengemis cinta
Untuk menghilangkan duka?

Asmara
Ke mana lagi akan kucari?
Siapa yang 'kan mengusir sepi
Di saat 'ku sendiri?
Asmara
Mungkinkah kau sampaikan padanya?
Walau hatiku penuh derita
Aku masih selalu cinta

Ho-o jangan kau rejam gairah yang ada
Haruskah aku mengemis cinta
Untuk menghilangkan duka?

Asmara
Ke mana lagi akan kucari?
Siapa yang 'kan mengusir sepi
Di saat 'ku sendiri?
Asmara
Mungkinkah kau sampaikan padanya?
Walau hatiku penuh derita
Aku masih selalu cinta
Aku masih selalu cinta
Aku masih selalu cinta
