Cuci Tangan
Umbrella Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ku dijulang ku dipuji
Bak mentari semakin tinggi
Oohh semakin seri
Di tengahari
Namun bagaimanakah
Esok hari bisa terjadi
Hitam putih telah ku lalui
Yang sukar dibolosi
Telahku merasai
Telahku menggengami
Segala hajat dihati
Sehinggaku terlena disini bila didatangi
Seribu mimpi
Sdgkanku masih terpenjara dlm diri sendiri
Kemungkinan inilah mentandakan kemerahan hati
Bila ku terima
Segala pemberiannya
Yang telah ku kecapi
Limpahan manis madu serta hempedu
Walaupun masih ada yg sangsi
Keikhlasanku dalam seni




Tak pernah terlintas dihati
Bangga diri pada dirimu
