Payung Teduh was formed in late 2007 with the initial formation of Is (vocalist) and Comi (contra bass). In 2008, Payung Teduh invited Cito to join together as a drummer, then took Ivan as a gitarlele player and a trumpet player in 2010. Angin Pujaan Hujan is the first song to bring out their own color. Over time, other songs were created, such as Kucari Kamu, Amy, Untuk Perempuan Yang Sedang Dalam Pelukan, as well as works from theater performances with CaturAri Wibowo such as Resah, Cerita tentang Gunung dan Lauta, as well as Amalia Puri's work entitled Tidurlah and Malam. In the end Payung Teduh decided to make his first indie album which was released at the end of 2010.
At the end of 2017 Mohammad Istiqamah Djamad (Is) decided to leave Payung Teduh because he felt that he was no longer in line with the band.
Untuk Perempuan Yang Sedang Dalam Pelukan
Payung Teduh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Di ujung malam menuju pagi yang dingin
Hanya ada sedikit bintang malam ini
Mungkin karena kau sedang cantik-cantiknya
Lalu mataku merasa malu
Semakin dalam ia malu kali ini
Kadang juga ia takut
Di malam hari
Menuju pagi
Sedikit cemas
Banyak rindunya
The lyrics of Payung Teduh's song Untuk Perempuan Yang Sedang Dalam Pelukan depict a wistful and sentimental mood. The first verse describes the coming of the morning after a dark and cold night, where only a few stars are shining. The lyricist then assumes that the reason for the lack of stars is that the person the song is directed towards is incredibly beautiful that night.
The second verse is about the poet's feeling of shyness and even fear at the prospect of meeting this person. He is not sure if she reciprocates his feelings, and this uncertainty makes him anxious. The phrase "di tengah pelariannya" literally means "in the middle of his escape," suggesting that the singer might be running away from some problems in his life, and this person he is admiring is a welcome relief from his stress.
The chorus repeats the phrase "di malam hari menuju pagi," which can be translated as "in the nighttime, towards daybreak," emphasizing the fleeting nature of the moment that the singer is experiencing. The line "banyak rindunya" ("much longing") conveys his intense desire to be closer to this woman.
Overall, the song can be seen as a portrayal of an unrequited love, where the singer admires a woman from afar but is too hesitant to make a move. The lyrics are poetic and illustrate the emotions of longing, shyness, and uncertainty that can be related to by many people.

Tak terasa gelap pun jatuh
The darkness falls unnoticed
Di ujung malam menuju pagi yang dingin
At the end of the night, heading towards a cold morning
Hanya ada sedikit bintang malam ini
There are only a few stars out tonight
Mungkin karena kau sedang cantik-cantiknya
Perhaps it's because you are looking so beautiful
Lalu mataku merasa malu
Then my eyes start to feel shy
Semakin dalam ia malu kali ini
The shyness gets deeper this time
Kadang juga ia takut
Sometimes they are also afraid
Tatkala harus berpapasan di tengah pelariannya
Especially when they have to face each other in the midst of their escape
Di malam hari
In the night
Menuju pagi
Heading towards morning
Sedikit cemas
A little bit anxious
Banyak rindunya
Longing for each other
