Tak Termiliki
Rossa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ku baca hatiku
tiada yg lain
yg tersirat
ku lihat dirimu
kau tak sendiri
masih bolehkah
engkau datang
saat aku merasa tak ada
engku ada
saat ku tak mungkin ada di sana
engkau datang
saat diri ini tak ingin pergi
engkau ada
dengan setangkai cinta tak termiliki
ku lihat dirimu
kau tak sendiri
masih bolehkah
harap ini
oh mengapa saat kita berdua
semua terasa indah
seakan kau untukku
The song "Tak Termiliki" by Rossa is a touching composition about two individuals who find solace in each other's presence. The opening lines of the song, "Ku lihat diriku, ku baca hatiku, tiada yg lain, yg tersirat," translate to "I see myself, I read my heart, nothing else, it's all implied." This implies that the singer has looked deeply within herself to understand her emotions and feelings. She is comfortable and satisfied with what she sees.
The song then switches to the perspective of the other person, "Ku lihat dirimu, kau tak sendiri, masih bolehkah harap ini." This translates to "I see you, you are not alone, can I still hope for this?" This line suggests that the other person is looking to the singer for companionship, support, and a hopeful future together. The chorus of the song, "Engkau datang, saat aku merasa tak ada, engkau ada, saat ku tak mungkin ada di sana," translates to "You come when I feel nothing, you're there when I can't be."
The song is a beautiful expression of love, hope, and perseverance through rough times. The singer and the other person in the song find comfort in each other's presence, even in the darkest of days. The question posed in the song, "Masih bolehkah harap ini?" is a poignant one, as it speaks to the fragility of hope and the need for constant reassurance in any relationship.

Rossa.... Ada sosok Diva yg mampu membawakan lagu dgn semua kenyataan hidup seorang wanita. Tiap2 lirik lagunya mewakili perasaan semua Wanita yg mengalami hal yg sama... Saya adalah termasuk penggemar teh Oca dn entah mengapa bbrapa lagunya tepat sasaran pada apa yg saya Alami.
"Atas nama cinta" bagaikan memeluk bulan " dn Tak termiliki " adalah ungkapan isi hati. Mencintai namun tak bisa memiliki..... 😭
