Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

O, manakah hati yang dulu berseri
Menyongsong cita
Hati yang cerah ceria penawar lara
Hati tempat resahku berteduh

Kau asmara
Mengapa tak kau mencoba untuk mengerti
Tiada lagu dan puisi dapat kucipta

Sejak kau menghilang dalam kelam

Di sini aku, menantimu
Bersama mimpi seribu janji
Di sini aku, menantimu dewiku
Walaupun entah kapan
Engkau akan kembali
Disini, aku menanti
Seakan baru tadi malam
Cinta kita bersemi

Kau, cintaku
Engkaulah matahariku cah'ya hidupku

Tanpa dirimu dunia hampa terasa
Sungguh, engkaulah cintaku hidupku
