Obbie Messakh became popular in the 80s through his song entitled "Kisah Kasih Di Sekolah" ("The Story of Love at School")
Since childhood he lived and grew up in Jakarta. He played a very important role in creating singers whose names then skyrocketed by performing the songs he created.
Nearly all of the artists he orbits sell over 400,000 CDs. Obbie appeared in the national music scene in 1983.
At that time, the national music market was controlled by JK Records, a record company owned by Judhi Kristiantho. Obbie was chosen by JK to become a songwriter with Pance F. Pondaag, Maxi Mamiri, Wahyu OS and JK himself and Deddy Dores.
After Obbie's songs were liked by the public, he released his first solo album entitled "Kau Dan Aku Satu" ("You and I Are One"). Some of the songs on the album have been sung by female singers graduated from JK Records.
His name has skyrocketed. The Minister of Information, Harmoko, once banned his song entitled "Hati Yang Luka" ("A Heart That Hurts") because he was considered too crybaby. Because of that, TVRI, as the only television station that existed at that time, no longer aired the song. His career started to decline since then. Even though many artists who are already well-known for performing Obbie's songs have also managed to sell more than 400,000 CDs.
Even though he was banned, he continued to work and tried to make songs with a cheerful tone and even pop dangdut.

Obbie Messakh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Saling diam tak banyak bicara
Ada rasa curiga lewat tatap matamu
Seakan benci kau pendam disana
Aku tiada menyangka apa yang engkau pinta
Secepat ini ingin berpisah
Katakan sejujurnya
Jangan engkau sembunyikan
Aku rela melepas ikatan cinta kita
Kalau memang itu yang engkau inginkan
Mengapa malam ini semua baru terungkapKau simpan dia yang lain di matamu
Bukanlah perpisahan yang akan kutangisi
Namun pertemuan yang kusesali
Natalia kau jelas berubah
Natalia kau membagi cinta
Aku insan biasa yang selalu tersisih
Jangankan dalam kehidupan
Di dalam bercinta pun aku kalah
Mengapa malam ini semua baru terungkap
Kau simpan dia yang lain di matamu
Bukanlah perpisahan yang akan kutangisi
Namun pertemuan yang kusesali
Natalia kau jelas berubah
Natalia kau membagi cinta
Aku insan biasa yang selalu tersisih
Jangankan dalam kehidupan
Di dalam bercinta pun aku kalah
The lyrics to Obbie Messakh's "Natalia" describe a conversation between two individuals who are sitting together in silence. There seems to be an underlying feeling of suspicion and resentment, conveyed through the singer's observation that Natalia's gaze is concealing something malicious. He declares that he is willing to let go of their love if that is truly what she desires, but pleads with her to be truthful and not to hide behind her own feelings of longing. The second verse sheds light on the reason behind their impending separation: Natalia has been seeing someone else, and the singer feels hurt and betrayed. He has always felt like an outcast in his own life, and even in matters of love, he feels inferior to others. The song ends with the sentiment that the singer is more sorrowful about their meeting tonight than he is about their eventual separation.
One potential interpretation of this song is that it speaks to the universal human condition of feeling powerless and alone in the face of circumstances beyond our control. It explores themes of deception, rejection, and the fragility of human relationships, touching on the heartbreak that can stem from loving someone who does not reciprocate those feelings. It also hint at the importance of honesty and communication in relationships, and the pain that can result from hiding the truth from one's partner.

Malam ini disini kita duduk berdua
Tonight we sit alone together
Saling diam tak banyak bicara
Silent, not much to say to each other
Ada rasa curiga lewat tatap matamu
I feel suspicious through your gaze
Seakan benci kau pendam disana
As if you harbor hatred deep inside
Aku tiada menyangka apa yang engkau pinta
I never expected what you would ask for
Secepat ini ingin berpisah
You want to separate so quickly
Katakan sejujurnya
Tell me the truth
Jangan engkau sembunyikan
Don't hide it
Di balik rindu kau simpan dusta
Behind your longing, you keep a lie
Aku rela melepas ikatan cinta kita
I'm willing to let go of our love bond
Kalau memang itu yang engkau inginkan
If that's really what you want
Mengapa malam ini semua baru terungkap
Why was everything revealed tonight?
Kau simpan dia yang lain di matamu
You keep someone else in your eyes
Bukanlah perpisahan yang akan kutangisi
It's not separation that I'll mourn
Namun pertemuan yang kusesali
But the reunion that I regret
Natalia kau jelas berubah
Natalia, you've clearly changed
Natalia kau membagi cinta
Natalia, you divide your love
Aku insan biasa yang selalu tersisih
I'm just an ordinary person who's always left behind
Jangankan dalam kehidupan
Let alone in life
Di dalam bercinta pun aku kalah
Even in love, I always lose
