Tulus
Sonny Josz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kasihku, aku ora ngerti
Apa kang ana ing atimu
Mung meneng lan gumuyu ning aku
Ngerteni luputku

Aja nganti ngapusi ati
Yen toh pancen kowe wes ora tresna
Percuma wae tansah senengan
Akhire pisahan

Tulus po atimu ngatresnani aku?
Mung kok aku tau nindakake salah
Sepuranen aku, lalekke awakku
Yen toh kuwi karepmu

Tulus po atimu ngatresnani aku?
Mung kok aku tau nindakake salah
Sepuranen aku, lalekke awakku
Nanging aja ninggalke tresnaku

Aja nganti ngapusi ati
Yen toh pancen kowe wes ora tresna
Percuma wae tansah senengan
Akhire pisahan

Tulus po atimu ngatresnani aku?
Mung kok aku tau nindakake salah
Sepuranen aku, lalekke awakku
Yen toh kuwi karepmu

Tulus po atimu ngatresnani aku?
Mung kok aku tau nindakake salah
Sepuranen aku, lalekke awakku
Nanging aja ninggalke tresnaku

Ho-ho
Ho-ho
Ho-ho

Tulus po atimu ngatresnani aku?
