Asmara
Shanty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mungkinkah kita ′kan selalu bersama
Setelah rasa di dada tak menyatu
Mengapa bila aku menunggu
Dirimu tiada hadir untukku

Tak salah bila kita menjauh
Keangkuhan membuat kita ingin berpisah
Tak bisa dimengerti bila jauh kita menyadari
Aku kehilangan dirimu, kau kehilangan diriku
Dan hati kita pun terluka karena cinta

Asmara
Ingin diriku menjauh





Namun hatiku tak mampu
Asmara
