Kisah Sedih Dihari Minggu
Yuni Shara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tiada teman kunanti
Di sekitar kulihat dia
Tiada seindah dulu
Mungkinkah ini berakhir
Aku tlah patah hati
Walaupun engkau berkata bukan
Bukan itu
Penyesalanku semakin dalam dan sedih
Tlah kuserahkan semua milik dan hidupku
Aku tak mau menderita begini
Mudah-mudahan ini hanya mimpi
Hanya mimpi
Kisah sedih di hari minggu
Yang slalu menyiksaku
Kutakut ini kan kubawa
Sampai mati
Penyesalanku semakin dalam dan sedih
Tlah kuserahkan semua milik dan hidupku
Aku tak mau menderita begini
Mudah-mudahan ini hanya mimpi
Hanya mimpi
Penyesalanku semakin dalam dan sedih
Tlah kuserahkan semua milik dan hidupku
Aku tak mau menderita begini
Mudah-mudahan ini hanya mimpi
Hanya mimpi
Yuni Shara's "Kisah Sedih Dihari Minggu" encapsulates the sorrow of heartbreak and longing, starting with the image of solitude on a Saturday night. The opening lines convey a deep sense of loneliness as the singer finds herself waiting for someone who is no longer there. The phrase "Tiada seindah dulu" (not as beautiful as before) suggests a stark contrast between past and present, implying that what once brought joy has now become a source of disappointment. This sense of loss amplifies the feeling that the relationship may be coming to an end ("Mungkinkah ini berakhir"), and despite the other personβs reassurances ("Walaupun engkau berkata bukan"), the singer's heart has been broken. Here, the emotional weight is palpable, revealing an internal struggle between the hope for reconciliation and the harsh reality of a fading connection.
The singerβs feelings intensify as she delves deeper into her regrets and heartache in the second verse. The lyrics "Penyesalanku semakin dalam dan sedih" highlight the increasing burden of remorse, as she reflects on how she has dedicated everything ("Tlah kuserahkan semua milik dan hidupku") to this relationship. The idea of sacrifice is prominent, signifying not only the emotional investment but also the vulnerability that comes with giving oneself completely to another. There is a plea for a resolution to this torment, wishing that her painful reality could be a mere nightmare ("Mudah-mudahan ini hanya mimpi"). This yearning for the suffering to end underscores a universal desire to escape the painful aspects of love, painting a vivid picture of despair.
The chorus, "Kisah sedih di hari minggu," serves as a poignant reflection of the singer's ongoing emotional struggle. Sundays, traditionally seen as a day of rest and renewal, become laden with sorrow, as the memories of the relationship haunt her. The anguish captured in "Yang slalu menyiksaku" conveys a sense of being trapped by her memories, suggesting that the pain is both inescapable and pervasive. The fear that this heartbreak will remain with her for a lifetime β "Kutakut ini kan kubawa sampai mati" β underscores the weight of her feelings, evoking a sense of hopelessness as she grapples with the possibility that this affliction could define her future.
Throughout the song, the repeated phrases reinforce the singer's anguish and the cyclical nature of her grief. The insistence on her "penyesalan" reveals a profound internal conflict; she is caught between wanting to move forward and being anchored by the love she once cherished. The lines express a hope that this suffering is temporary and will ultimately fade into a dream. This tension between desire and despair forms the emotional core of the song, illustrating how deep love can transition into sorrow, leaving a lasting imprint on the heart. Ultimately, βKisah Sedih Dihari Mingguβ captures a poignant narrative of loss and longing, resonating with anyone who has experienced the complexities of love and heartbreak.
