Sarasvatī Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rentan tawa riang gundah
Ceracau hati yang lelah
Tak henti t'rus mendesah
Belukar kini gersang
Hampaku kian terbentang
Berai mengharapkan terang
Uh, resahku melayang
Uh, gusarku tak tenang
Harapan lama pudar
Semesta pun mendengar
Rintih jeritan tergetar
Tak cukup 'tuk berpedar
Uh, resahku melayang
Uh, jiwaku tak tenang
Alone
It feels like I've been alone forever
Wandering the empty streets
Filled with people and laughter and faces
Seeing happiness I don't remember
Wishing, always, for something I can't touch
Reaching out for you
But you're too far away (Seandainya)
I wanted to hold you just one last time (Aku masih bisa mengalirkan air mata)
But knowing somewhere deep in my heart
Aku pasti akan menangis seperti kalian sekarang ini
Tolong jangan bersedih
Aku cemburu melihat air mata kalian
Sudah, ya, jangan menangis
We're gonna play
Running around, skipping and singing
You're my friend
Happy together forever
The song "Maddah" by Indonesian musician Sarasvati paints a picture of inner turmoil and solitude. The opening lines "Diam dalam gelisah, rentan tawa riang gundah" describe a struggle to keep one's emotions under control amidst feelings of restlessness and anxiety. The use of the word "rentan" (vulnerable) suggests that the subject is constantly on the verge of breaking down, despite putting on a facade of good humor. The repetition of "Uh, resahku melayang, uh, gusarku tak tenang" adds a sense of urgency to these emotions.
As the song progresses, the imagery shifts to a barren landscape: "Belukar kini gersang, hampaku kian terbentang". This barrenness is not just physical - it is a reflection of the emptiness the subject feels inside. The line "Berai mengharapkan terang, diri merintih berang" presents a poignant image of someone crying out for help in the darkness, but not receiving any response. The final lines of the song, however, offer a glimmer of hope: "We're gonna play, running around, skipping and singing, you're my friend, happy together forever". This contrast between despair and hope highlights the complexity of the human experience, and the fact that even in our darkest moments, we can find moments of light.

Alone
In solitude
It feels like I've been alone forever
It seems like I've been alone for an eternity
Wandering the empty streets
Roaming along the deserted pathways
Filled with people and laughter and faces
Crowded with individuals, joy, and countenances
Seeing happiness I don't remember
Observing joy that I can't recollect
Wishing, always, for something I can't touch
Always desiring for something intangible
Reaching out for you
Reaching out for you
But you're too far away (Seandainya)
Yet you're too far to reach (If only)
I wanted to hold you just one last time (Aku masih bisa mengalirkan air mata)
I desired to embrace you for the last time (I can still shed tears)
But knowing somewhere deep in my heart
But recognizing somewhere in my heart
Aku pasti akan menangis seperti kalian sekarang ini
I will surely cry like you are now
Tolong jangan bersedih
Please don't be sad
Aku cemburu melihat air mata kalian
I am jealous looking at your tears
Sudah, ya, jangan menangis
Alright then, don't cry
We're gonna play
We will play
Running around, skipping and singing
Running, skipping, and singing
You're my friend
You are my friend
Happy together forever
Joyful together for all eternity
