Tommy J Pisa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Di sini di batas kota sepi ini kukembali
'Ku mencari dan mencari dirimu, kekasih
Kutanya dermaga tua hanya bisu jawabannya
Camar hitam pun tak tahu di mana dirimu

Ketika kulepaskan lelah diri ini dalam rindu
Tiba-tiba engkau hadir di depan mataku
Menangis hati ini, gemuruh jiwa ini

Ketika bocah kecil memanggilmu mama

Angela, sungguh tiada kusangka
Oh Angela, teganya kau simpan dusta
Oh Angela, sungguh aku kecewa
Angela, Angela, Angela
Oh Angela ...

(Kasih, maafkan salahku)
(Tak mampu berlari dari kenyataan ini)
(Kasih, Tuhanlah yang tahu)
(Semua kehendak orang tuaku)

Ketika kulepaskan lelah diri ini dalam rindu
Tiba-tiba engkau hadir di depan mataku
Menangis hati ini, gemuruh jiwa ini
Ketika bocah kecil memanggilmu mama

Angela, sungguh tiada kusangka
Oh Angela, teganya kau simpan dusta
Oh Angela, sungguh aku kecewa
Angela, Angela, Angela
Oh Angela ...

(Kasih, maafkan salahku)
(Tak mampu berlari dari kenyataan ini)
(Oh kasih, Tuhanlah yang tahu)
(Semua kehendak orang tuaku)

Angela, sungguh tiada kusangka
Oh Angela, teganya kau simpan dusta
Oh Angela, sungguh aku kecewa
Angela, Angela, Angela
Oh Angela ...

Oh Angela ...
Oh Angela ...

Di sini di batas kota sepi ini kukembali
I am back here at the empty city border, searching for you, my love

'Ku mencari dan mencari dirimu, kekasih
I keep searching and searching for you, my love

Kutanya dermaga tua hanya bisu jawabannya
I ask the old pier, but it remains silent and gives no answer

Camar hitam pun tak tahu di mana dirimu
Even the black seagulls don't know where you are

Ketika kulepaskan lelah diri ini dalam rindu
When I release my tired self in longing

Tiba-tiba engkau hadir di depan mataku
Suddenly, you appear in front of me

Menangis hati ini, gemuruh jiwa ini
My heart cries, my soul roars

Ketika bocah kecil memanggilmu mama
When a little child calls you 'Mama'

Angela, sungguh tiada kusangka
Angela, I truly did not expect it

Oh Angela, teganya kau simpan dusta
Oh Angela, how dare you keep a secret

Oh Angela, sungguh aku kecewa
Oh Angela, I am truly disappointed
