Cinta Monyet
Tetty Kadi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yang satu lempar pandangan
Yang lain balas senyuman
Terjadi dalam remaja
Tetapi belum cukup umurnya
Malu malu untuk bertegur sapa
Ragu ragu saling bertanya nama
Namun jantung hati masing masing berdebar
Seolah Cinta terasa mulai mekar
Mulailah surat suratan
Berisi penuh pujaan
Anehnya tuk menyampaikan
Minta tolong pada seorang teman
Siang malam tidak dapat tidur
Tunggu tunggu balasan suratnya
Tapi bila tak kunjung datang balasannya
Esoknya mereka tak bertegur sapa
Cinta monyet Cinta anak ingusan
Cinta monyet Cinta umur belasan
Seakan mati kalau tak jumpa sehari
Bila putus Cinta ingin bunuh diri
Wow wow wow wow
Awas kalau kepencet
Wow wow wow wow
Jangan gampang digaet
Seakan mati kalau tak jumpa sehari





Bila putus Cinta ingin bunuh diri
Cinta monyet Cinta anak ingusan

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Tetty Kadi's song "Cinta Monyet" ("Monkey Love") describe the experience of young love between teenagers who are not quite old enough to know what they're doing. The song starts with one person throwing a glance at the other, who responds with a smile. Both are shy and hesitant to speak to each other, but their hearts are pounding with the beginnings of love.


As their feelings grow, they start exchanging letters filled with expressions of love and admiration. However, the situation becomes more complicated as they struggle to communicate their emotions, resorting to asking a friend to deliver a message. They become obsessed with waiting for each other's responses, and when they don't come, they stop speaking altogether.


The title of the song, "Cinta Monyet," refers to the idea of "monkey love," a phrase used to describe immature, fleeting infatuations that can arise in young people. The lyrics capture the fear, confusion, and intensity of teenage romance with humor and poignancy, creating a relatable and nostalgic portrait of love in its earliest stages.
