Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tenangkan resahku,saat langkahku terasa berat
Teduhkan jiwaku,saat matahari bersinar terlalu pijar,
Karena dirimu,satu satunya yang kuandalkan,
Saat diriku,tak mampu berdiri di sini,sendiri...
Verse 2
Ceritakan sayang,hari-hari yang tlah kau lalui
Cobalah,cobalah,tuk mengerti keadaan ini,
Aku rapuh,saat kau tinggalkan...
Chorus...
Tunjukkan padaku kau slalu mencintaiku,
Jadilah pelindung bagi sayapku,
Aku berjanji,aku berjanji selalu menemani langkahmu,
Dalam,setiap helai nafasmu...(end on F#)
Verse 3
Bangunkan tidurku,bila kau terjaga terlebih dulu,
Bergegaslah sayang,kita isi makna indahnya hari ini
Cobalah,cobalah tuk mengerti keadaan ini,
Aku rapuh,saat kau tinggalkan...
Chorus...
Tunjukkan,padaku kau selalu mencintaiku,
Jadilah,pelindung bagi sayapku,
Aku berjanji,aku berjanji selalu menemani langkahmu
Dalam setiap helai nafasmu...
