Untuk Apa Lagi
Utha Likumahuwa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ataupun mengkhianati
Bukan maksud hatiku pergi dan berlari
Dari kenyataan ini
Bukan aku sembunyi sayang
Bukan aku tak ingin bersama dirimu kasih
Cerita cinta diantara kitaMasih terukir di dalam dada
Bila memang kau pergi
Dimanakah lagi akan ku cari pengganti
Bila kau tiada lagi
Mana mungkin nanti cinta kita kan bersemi
Berikan kesempatan sayang
Mungkin aku dapat mengambil suatu keputusan
Serasa tiada guna hidup ini
Bila kau dan aku tak bersama lagi
Untuk apa lagi ada cinta di dada
Bila semua ini tak berbunga
Berikanlah waktu untuk diriku ini
Aku pun tak ingin cinta kan terbagi
Andaikan kau tak lagi kembali disini
Tak mungkin semua ini terjadi
Untuk apa lagi ada cinta di dada
Bila semua ini tak berbunga
Berikanlah waktu untuk diriku ini
Aku pun tak ingin cinta kan terbagi
Andaikan kau tak lagi kembali disini
Untuk apa lagi ada cinta di dada
Bila semua ini tak berbunga
Berikanlah waktu untuk diriku ini
Aku pun tak ingin cinta kan terbagi
Andaikan kau tak lagi kembali disini
Tak mungkin semua ini terjadi
The lyrics of Utha Likumahuwa's song, Untuk Apa Lagi convey the feelings of a person who is trying to make amends with their partner. The singer seems to have hurt their partner unintentionally and is asking for a chance to make things right. They confess that they have no intention of leaving the relationship or finding someone else, and they still carry the love between them in their hearts, hoping that their partner will give them another chance. The singer highlights the importance of love in their life and how it would be meaningless without their partner. They ask for time to fix things and hope that their relationship will eventually flourish again.
The lyrics illustrate a common situation that many people can relate to, where a person realizes the value of their relationship only after hurting their partner. The song conveys the importance of communication in a relationship and how apologies and forgiveness can heal a wounded heart. The overall message is that love is precious and should never be taken for granted.

Bukan maksud hatiku untuk menyakiti
I did not mean to hurt anyone
Ataupun mengkhianati
Nor betray anyone
Bukan maksud hatiku pergi dan berlari
I did not intend to leave and run away
Dari kenyataan ini
From this reality
Bukan aku sembunyi sayang
I am not hiding, my love
Bukan aku tak ingin bersama dirimu kasih
I do not want to be away from you, my love
Cerita cinta diantara kita
The love story between us
Masih terukir di dalam dada
Is still etched in my heart
Bila memang kau pergi
If you really leave
Dimanakah lagi akan ku cari pengganti
Where else can I find a replacement
Bila kau tiada lagi
If you are no longer here
Mana mungkin nanti cinta kita kan bersemi
How can our love bloom later?
Berikan kesempatan sayang
Give me a chance, my love
Mungkin aku dapat mengambil suatu keputusan
Maybe I can make a decision
Serasa tiada guna hidup ini
It feels like life is useless
Bila kau dan aku tak bersama lagi
If you and I are no longer together
Untuk apa lagi ada cinta di dada
What's the point of having love in my heart?
Bila semua ini tak berbunga
If nothing blooms from it
Berikanlah waktu untuk diriku ini
Give me time for myself
Aku pun tak ingin cinta kan terbagi
I don't want my love to be divided
Andaikan kau tak lagi kembali disini
If only you don't come back here anymore
Tak mungkin semua ini terjadi
None of this would happen
