Resah
Rina Megasari Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kau terlena
Dalam buaian asmara yang tak seirama
Hati terpana
Bagai tandus di gurun sana

Dulu kala
Kita bersatu di dalam bahtera cinta
Namun, kini

Simfoni pun terdengar sumbang

Engkau pun t'lah terlena
Langkah pun tak searah
Resah bersatu

Kau yang telah menyakiti hatiku
Kau yang telah menghancurkan hidupku
Kau yang telah menodai diriku
Betapa tersiksa, tinggallah kenangan cinta

Dulu kala
Kita bersatu di dalam bahtera cinta
Namun, kini
Simfoni pun terdengar sumbang

Engkau pun t'lah terlena
Langkah pun tak searah
Resah bersatu

Kau yang telah menyakiti hatiku
Kau yang telah menghancurkan hidupku
Kau yang telah menodai diriku
Betapa tersiksa, tinggallah kenangan cinta

Betapa tersiksa, tinggallah kenangan cinta

Overall Meaning

In Rina Megasari's song "Resah", the singer is addressing a former lover who has left her feeling brokenhearted and confused. The opening lines suggest that the ex-partner has moved on and is now lost in a new romantic affair that is mismatched and unfulfilling. Meanwhile, the singer's heart is numb and barren, like a desert where nothing can grow. The second verse reveals that the two lovers were once united in a passionate relationship ("bahtera cinta," or "love boat"), but that this has now fallen apart. Despite this, the singer holds onto a glimmer of hope that they could find peace and harmony again.

The chorus repeats the themes of separation and longing. The singer recounts the ways that the ex-lover has hurt and damaged her ("menyakiti hatiku," "menghancurkan hidupku," "menodai diriku"), leaving her with only painful memories of their past romance ("tinggallah kenangan cinta"). She admits that she is tormented by these feelings of hurt and loss, but still hopes that they could somehow come back together and be "resah bersatu" or "restless in harmony."

Overall, "Resah" is a poignant and deeply emotional song that captures the agony of a broken heart and the longing for reconciliation. The lyrics are rich with metaphors and imagery, and the melody is haunting and wistful.

Line by Line Meaning

Kau terlena
You are entranced

Dalam buaian asmara yang tak seirama
In a love cradle that is not in tune

Hati terpana
Heart is stunned

Bagai tandus di gurun sana
Like a barren desert

Dulu kala
Once upon a time

Kita bersatu di dalam bahtera cinta
We joined together in the love boat

Namun, kini
But now

Simfoni pun terdengar sumbang
The symphony sounds harsh

Engkau pun t'lah terlena
You too are entranced

Langkah pun tak searah
Steps are not in the same direction

Resah bersatu
Restless together
