Asmara
Zaleha Hamid Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Asmara penyakit asmara
Itu penyakit luarbiasa
Asmara dilanda asmara
Segalanya bisa jadi lupa
Yang tua bisa jadi muda
Semua kerna asmara

Yang tua carinya yang muda

Itu pun memang sudah biasa
Yang muda dapatnya yang tua
Tak peduli itu lah asmara
Yang liar bisa jadi genit
Semua kerna asmara

Hah

Kalau sedang asyik berdua
Lupa akan segalanya
Dunia bagai miliknya
Ah du du duhai mesranya

Tapi kalau patah hatinya
Segalanya serba salah
Hidup masanya merana
Ah du du duhai pedihnya
Semuanya oh kerana
Kerana asmara

Asmara penyakit asmara
Itu penyakit luarbiasa
Asmara dilanda asmara
Segalanya bisa jadi lupa
Yang tua bisa jadi muda
Semua kerna asmara

Yang tua carinya yang muda
Itu pun memang sudah biasa
Yang muda dapatnya yang tua
Tak peduli itu lah asmara
Yang liar bisa jadi genit
Semua kerna asmara

Hah

Kalau sedang asyik berdua
Lupa akan segalanya
Dunia bagai miliknya
Ah du du duhai mesranya

Tapi kalau patah hatinya
Segalanya serba salah
Hidup masanya merana
Ah du du duhai pedihnya
Semuanya oh kerana
Kerana asmara

Asmara penyakit asmara
Itu penyakit luarbiasa
Asmara dilanda asmara
Segalanya bisa jadi lupa
Yang tua bisa jadi muda
Semua kerna asmara

Yang tua carinya yang muda
Itu pun memang sudah biasa
Yang muda dapatnya yang tua
Tak peduli itu lah asmara
Yang liar bisa jadi genit
Semua kerna asmara

Overall Meaning

The song "Asmara" by Zaleha Hamid talks about the intoxicating and overwhelming feeling of love, which is described as a unique and life-changing illness. The chorus repeats the phrase "Asmara", which is Indonesian for love or infatuation, emphasizing the main theme of the song. The verses describe how love can make people of all ages feel young and reckless, as well as how it can make them forget about everything else. The song also highlights the unpredictable nature of love, as it can bring people together despite their age or social status, or make them behave in ways they never thought they would.

The lyrics contain several contradictions and paradoxes, which add complexity to the portrayal of love. For example, the line "Yang tua bisa jadi muda" (The old can become young) suggests that love can bring back youth to those who have lost it, while "Yang liar bisa jadi genit" (The wild can become flirtatious) implies that love can make people act out of character. The song also acknowledges the pain and heartbreak that can come with love, as it can make everything seem perfect but also cause everything to fall apart when it ends.

Overall, "Asmara" is a powerful song that captures the joys and sorrows of falling in love, as well as its effects on people's behavior and perception of the world.
