Description
Photographs fade over time, but not their meaning. Where the colours have faded, memory suddenly paints new shades - the smell of chocolate cake, the warm light from the window, the voice that soothed even the most restless nights. Everything is like in a frame: simple, childlike, sincere. And that makes it especially precious. In every frame, it's not just the past, but a tiny thank you for what was there. For the laughter, for the embrace, for the fact that someone was simply there once. Such silence after the holiday, where colourful balloons are still floating in the air, and a warm "thank you" is in the heart.

Lyrics and translation
Original
Lembaran foto hitam-putih
Aku coba ingat lagi warna bajumu kala itu
Kali pertama di hidupku
Manusia lain memelukku
Lembaran foto hitam-putih
Aku coba ingat lagi wangi rumah di sore itu
Kue cokelat, balon warna-warni
Pesta hari ulang tahunku
Di mana pun kalian berada
Kukirimkan terima kasih
Untuk warna dalam hidupku dan banyak kenangan indah
Kau melukis aku
Lembaran foto hitam-putih
Kembali teringat malam, kuhitung-hitung bintang
Saat mataku sulit tidur, mm-mm
Suaramu buatku lelap, mm-mm
Di mana pun kalian berada
Kukirimkan terima kasih
Untuk warna dalam hidupku dan banyak kenangan indah
Kau melukis aku
Kita tak pernah tahu
Berapa lama kita diberi waktu
Jika aku pergi lebih dulu, jangan lupakan aku
Ini lagu untukmu, ungkapan terima kasihku
Lembar monokrom hitam-putih
Aku coba ingat warna demi warna di hidupku
Tak akan ku mengenal cinta
Bila bukan kar'na hati baikmu
English translation
Black and white photo sheet
I'm trying to remember the color of your clothes at that time
First time in my life
Another human hugged me
Black and white photo sheet
I try to remember the smell of the house that afternoon
Chocolate cake, colorful balloons
My birthday party
Wherever you are
I'll send you thanks
For the color in my life and many beautiful memories
You painted me
Black and white photo sheet
Thinking back to the night, I counted the stars
When my eyes have trouble sleeping, mm-mm
Your voice makes me fall asleep, mm-mm
Wherever you are
I'll send you thanks
For the color in my life and many beautiful memories
You painted me
We never know
How long are we given?
If I go first, don't forget me
This is a song for you, an expression of my gratitude
Black-and-white monochrome sheet
I try to remember color by color in my life
I will never know love
If it weren't for your good heart
