and considered as one of the greatest Indonesian musician of all time
He was known as his stage name Oma Irama before he made a pilgrimage to Mecca and became a haji. He later took the name Rhoma Irama, which is an abbreviation of "Raden Haji Oma Irama"
His career began in the late 1960s when he recorded solo records and with the group Orkes Melayu Purnama. He sang duets on several record LPs with Indonesian female vocal stars such as Inneke Kusumawati, Ellya Khadam, Lily Junaedhy, Vivi Sumanti, and the later to be crowned 'Queen of Dangdut', Elvy Sukaesih. Once Oma broke from recording with the Purnama Group, he eventually formed Orkes Melayu Soneta, the first so-called Dangdut group. In fact, Oma established the term "Dangdut" with a song by that name from the early 70's. He wrote the classics "Kareta Malam" and "Kuda Lumping" which were sung by Elvy Sukaesih. Once Soneta was established in the early 70's, Oma changed his name to Rhoma and went on a decade long run of successful hit records and films, all of which starred Rhoma playing himself while performing all of his hits.
His 1974 album, Begadang, ranked #11 on Rolling Stone Indonesia's "150 Greatest Indonesian Albums of All Time" list. Furthermore, the main single "Begadang" reached at number 24 on the magazine's "150 Greatest Indonesian Songs of All Time" list.
Kegagalan Cinta
Rhoma Irama Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kegagalan cinta
Takkan terulang kedua kali
Di dalam hidupku
Ho. Ho. Ya nasib ya nasib
Mengapa begini
Baru pertama bercinta
Sudah menderita
Cukup sekali aku merasa
Kegagalan cinta
Takkan terulang kedua kali
Di dalam hidupku
Kau yang mulai kau yang mengakhiri
Kau yang berjanji kau yang mengingkari
Kau yang mulai kau yang mengakhiri
Kau yang berjanji kau yang mengingkari
Kalau tau begini akhirnya
Tak mau dulu ku bermain cinta
The lyrics to Rhoma Irama's song Kegagalan Cinta express the pain and disappointment of a failed love. The writer describes how he has experienced this pain once and does not wish to experience it again. The lyrics suggest that the writer feels that fate has dealt him a cruel blow by allowing him to fall in love and suffer the painful experience of a broken heart.
The lyrics also suggest that the writer is feeling a sense of betrayal from his lover who made promises but then broke them. The repetition of the line "Kau yang mulai kau yang mengakhiri, kau yang berjanji kau yang mengingkari" emphasizes the feeling of disappointment and hurt. The writer seems to be asking why this has happened to him, as he feels he did not deserve to suffer so much for falling in love.
Overall, the message of the lyrics conveys a sense of regret and loss over a love that could have been successful if not for the betrayal of the lover. The writer seems to resolve not to fall in love again, having learned his lesson the hard way.
