Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kepadamu mungkin salah
Diri ini memikirkanmu
Aku kini tlah berdua
Dan tak seindah
Cinta yang lalu
Yang jalan dan jalin
Namun tak berakhir ku hindari
Hati tak ingin berpisah
Bila kau dengan yang lain
Sesungguhnya aku tak rela
Dan tak seindah
Cinta yang lalu
Yang jalan dan jalin
Tanpa restu ku akhiri
Namun tak berakhir ku hindari
Hati tak ingin berpisah
Dan tak seindah
Cinta yang lalu
Yang jalan dan jalin
Tanpa restu ku akhiri
Namun tak berakhir ku hindari
Hati tak ingin berpisah
The lyrics to Rossa’s song “Kini” express a sense of regret and sadness over a loss of direction and a past love. The first line translates to “I realize all my paths are directionless,” indicating a sense of confusion and uncertainty regarding the future. The following line suggests that this confusion may be due to a past relationship, as the singer notes that maybe it was their fault. As the song continues, it becomes clear that the singer is still thinking about this past love, as they are now in a new relationship (“I am now together with someone else”).
The chorus repeats the phrase “and not as beautiful as the past love,” emphasizing the idea that the current relationship is not as fulfilling or meaningful as the one before it. The lines “But it didn’t end, I avoided it, my heart didn’t want to separate” express the difficulty of moving on from that past love and the desire to hold onto it. The song ends with the statement “And not as beautiful as the past love, which I sadly ended without permission” indicating remorse over the decision to end that love and a longing for what could have been.
Overall, the lyrics to “Kini” convey a sense of sadness and longing for a past love, and highlight the difficulty of moving on and finding direction in life. The song taps into the universal human experience of heartbreak and the impacts it can have on one's life.

Kusadari semua jalanku tak berarah
I realized that all my paths are directionless
Kepadamu mungkin salah
Maybe I was wrong about you
Diri ini memikirkanmu
This self is thinking about you
Aku kini tlah berdua
Now I'm already with someone else
Dan tak seindah
And not as beautiful as
Cinta yang lalu
The love from the past
Yang jalan dan jalin
That flowed and intertwined
Tanpa restu ku akhiri
Ended without my approval
Namun tak berakhir ku hindari
But it didn't really end, I just avoided it
Hati tak ingin berpisah
My heart didn't want to part
Bila kau dengan yang lain
If you're with someone else
Sesungguhnya aku tak rela
Truly, I'm not willing
Dan tak seindah
And not as beautiful as
Cinta yang lalu
The love from the past
Yang jalan dan jalin
That flowed and intertwined
Tanpa restu ku akhiri
Ended without my approval
Namun tak berakhir ku hindari
But it didn't really end, I just avoided it
Hati tak ingin berpisah
My heart didn't want to part
Dan tak seindah
And not as beautiful as
Cinta yang lalu
The love from the past
Yang jalan dan jalin
That flowed and intertwined
Tanpa restu ku akhiri
Ended without my approval
Namun tak berakhir ku hindari
But it didn't really end, I just avoided it
Hati tak ingin berpisah
My heart didn't want to part

Aku kini t'lah berdua
Reff:
Dan tak seindah

Tanpa restu ku akhiri
Namun tak berakhir ku hindari

Tanpa restu ku akhiri
Namun tak berakhir ku hindari
