Yuni Shara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
hingga dikau pergi
hanyalah kuingin dikau sayang
sampai hari ini
kutetap menunggu
misalkan kau telah bahagia
daku turut gembira
tapi bila kau setiap hari
Mengapa tidakkah kau maafkan
mengapa kubertanya
mengapa tiada maaf darimu
kutahu pasti hatimu padaku
Mengapa tidakkah kau maafkan
mengapa kubertanya
mengapa tiada maaf darimu
kutahu pasti hatimu padaku
Katakan salahku padamu
hingga dikau pergi
hanyalah kuingin dikau sadar
mengapa tiada maaf darimu

sekilas denger intro lagunya, byk notasi dari lagunya Skeeter Davis yang berjudul The End of The World (tahun 1962)..
