Layu Sebelum Berkembang
Ruth Sahanaya Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hatiku hancur mengenang dikau
Berkeping-keping jadinya
Kini air mata jatuh bercucuran
Tiada lagi harapan

Tiada seindah waktu itu
Dunia berseri-seri
Malam bagai siang seterang hatiku
Penuh harapan padamu

Kini hancur berderai kepedihan berantai
Kuncup di hatiku yang lama kusimpan
Hancur kini sebelum berkembang

Mengapa ini harus terjadi
Di tengah kebahagiaan
Ingin kurasakan lebih lama lagi
Hidup bersama denganmu

Wo
Kini hancur berderai kepedihan berantai
Kuncup di hatiku yang lama kusimpan
Hancur kini sebelum berkembang

Mengapa ini harus terjadi
Di tengah kebahagiaan
Ingin kurasakan lebih lama lagi
Hidup bersama denganmu

Ingin kurasakan lebih lama lagi
Hidup bersama denganmu
Uh




Uh
Hu

Overall Meaning

In Ruth Sahanaya's song Layu Sebelum Berkembang, the lyrics speak about a broken heart that is struggling to move forward after a relationship has ended. The opening lines describe the intense pain that the singer is feeling when they think about the person they have lost. The image of a broken heart is conveyed through the use of the metaphor "berkeping-keping jadinya," which means "it is shattered into pieces." The singer is deeply saddened by their loss, and the tears seem to flow uncontrollably, suggesting that healing will be difficult.


The song then shifts to the memory of the past when the relationship was at its best. The singer describes a time when everything seemed perfect, and the world was full of hope and brightness. The night felt as bright as the day because of the warmth of their love. However, this memory only adds to their current sorrow, and it makes the pain even more intense.


The chorus repeats the phrase "kini hancur berderai kepedihan berantai" which means "now shattered into chains of pain." The singer compares their feelings to the unopened buds in their heart, which are now destroyed even before they had a chance to bloom. The final verse repeats the question of why things have to end when everything feels so right. The singer would like to continue living with their partner but ultimately realizes that it is not possible.

Astaga... Suara ini begitu santun menyentuh hati, lagu ini melekat di ingatan saya ketika Rio Febrian membawakannya, meskipun original nya juga bagus tapi ketika di remix oleh Rio Febrian saya suka lagu ini yg lebih kekinian, dan kali ini di bawakan oleh sang diva dan serasa mendengar beliau ikutan festival dan menggondol gelar winner ketika membawakan lagu kau lah segalanya 🤗
