Description
The night stretched out like a thin thread - silence hums in your ears, the clock whispers seconds, and somewhere between an inhale and an exhale, hope lives, as stubborn as an old alarm clock that still rings every morning. The air is thick with anticipation: just a little longer, and the door will open, and everything will be as it was before - even if only for a moment. There's a prayer in this melody, not loud, but almost a whisper. The one who doesn't ask for miracles, but simply asks for warmth back - even for a single touch, a single breath nearby. Homesickness doesn't prick here, it warms. Because waiting is also a way of loving.

Lyrics and translation
Original
Malam ini aku menanti
Kedatanganmu mengisi sepiku
Lama terasa waktu bergulir
Karena dirimu tak bersamaku
Oh, Tuhan, tolonglah bawa dia kembali
Bersamaku di sini, menjagaku selalu
Dengarlah doaku yang tak pernah meminta
Bawa dia kembali bersama walau hanya sesaat
Masih terasa hembus napasmu
Saat ku gundah, kau lipur laraku
Kini terasa semakin dalam
Rasa rinduku pada dirimu
Oh, Tuhan, tolonglah bawa dia kembali
Bersamaku di sini, menjagaku selalu
Dengarlah doaku yang tak pernah meminta
Bawa dia kembali bersama walau hanya sesaat
Tuhan, tolong dengar doaku
Bawa dia kembali padaku
Oh, Tuhan, tolonglah bawa dia kembali
Bersamaku di sini, menjagaku selalu
Dengarlah doaku yang tak pernah meminta
(Bawa dia kembali bersama) walau hanya sesaat
(Oh, Tuhan, tolonglah bawa dia kembali) bawa dia kembali
(Bersamaku di sini, menjagaku) selalu
Dengarlah doaku yang tak pernah meminta
Bawa dia kembali bersama walau sesaat
Walau hanya sesaat
English translation
Tonight I'm waiting
Your arrival filled my loneliness
It feels like time has passed for a long time
Because you're not with me
Oh, God, please bring him back
Be with me here, take care of me always
Hear my never-asked prayer
Bring him back together even if only for a moment
You can still feel your breath
When I'm upset, you comfort me
Now it feels deeper
I miss you
Oh, God, please bring him back
Be with me here, take care of me always
Hear my never-asked prayer
Bring him back together even if only for a moment
Lord, please hear my prayer
Bring him back to me
Oh, God, please bring him back
Be with me here, take care of me always
Hear my never-asked prayer
(Bring him back together) even if only for a moment
(Oh, God, please bring him back) bring him back
(Be with me here, take care of me) always
Hear my never-asked prayer
Bring him back together even for a moment
Even if only for a moment
