Description
Waiting sometimes becomes almost an art - it seems like nothing is happening, but inside, everything is moving. The world keeps turning, people come and go, but somewhere on the edge of familiar thoughts, there lives a certainty: someone is still important. Such a foolishly serious faith that you can't just dismiss it. The sound of the guitar seems to straighten the shoulders of sadness, and the voice gently argues with despair. There's no tragedy in it, just a tired admission: yes, I waited, I'm waiting, and most likely, I'll keep waiting. Even if everything has long lost its meaning, even if the addressee has already dissolved into their own winds. The song smells of evening air and a little regret. Like the thing that clings to your collar when you get home later than you should. And you seem to understand that you can't bring anything back, but you still catch yourself thinking - maybe someone will change their mind.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Seberapa pantaskah kau untuk kutunggu?
Cukup indahkah dirimu untuk s'lalu kunantikan?
Mampukah kau hadir dalam setiap mimpi burukku?
Mampukah kita bertahan di saat kita jauh?
Seberapa hebatkah untuk kubanggakan?
Cukup tangguhkah dirimu untuk s'lalu kuandalkan?
Mampukah kau bertahan dengan hidupku yang malang?
Sanggupkah kau meyakinkan di saat aku bimbang?
Celakanya, hanya kaulah yang benar-benar aku tunggu
Hanya kaulah yang benar-benar memahamiku
Kau pergi dan hilang, ke mana pun kau suka
Celakanya, hanya kaulah yang pantas untuk kubanggakan
Hanya kaulah yang sanggup untuk aku andalkan
Di antara pedih, aku s'lalu menantimu
Seberapa hebatkah untuk kubanggakan?
Cukup tangguhkah dirimu untuk selalu kuandalkan?
Mampukah kau bertahan dengan hidupku yang malang?
Sanggupkah kau meyakinkan di saat aku bimbang?
Ah-ah-ah (ah-ah-ah)
Ah-ah-ah (ah-ah-ah)
Mungkin kini kau t'lah menghilang tanpa jejak
Mengubur semua indah kenangan
Tapi aku s'lalu menunggumu di sini
Bila saja kau berubah pikiran
Ho-oh-oh
Ho-oh-oh
He-eh
Celakanya, hanya kaulah yang benar-benar aku tunggu
Hanya kaulah yang benar-benar memahamiku
Kau pergi dan hilang, ke mana pun kau suka
Celakanya, hanya kaulah yang pantas untuk kubanggakan
Hanya kaulah yang sanggup untuk aku andalkan
Di antara pedih, aku s'lalu menantimu
Oh-ah-ah
Oh-ah-ah
Oh-ah-ah
Oh-ah-ah
English translation
How worthy are you for me to wait?
Are you beautiful enough for me to always look forward to?
Can you be present in every nightmare I have?
Can we survive when we are far away?
How great is it for me to be proud?
Are you strong enough to always rely on me?
Can you survive my miserable life?
Can you convince me when I'm in doubt?
Unfortunately, you're the only one I'm really waiting for
You're the only one who truly understands me
You go and disappear, wherever you like
Unfortunately, you are the only one I should be proud of
You're the only one I can rely on
In between the pain, I'm always waiting for you
How great is it for me to be proud?
Are you strong enough to always rely on me?
Can you survive my miserable life?
Can you convince me when I'm in doubt?
Ah-ah-ah (ah-ah-ah)
Ah-ah-ah (ah-ah-ah)
Maybe now you have disappeared without a trace
Bury all the beautiful memories
But I'm always waiting for you here
Just in case you change your mind
Ho-oh-oh
Ho-oh-oh
Uh-uh
Unfortunately, you're the only one I'm really waiting for
You're the only one who truly understands me
You go and disappear, wherever you like
Unfortunately, you are the only one I should be proud of
You're the only one I can rely on
In between the pain, I'm always waiting for you
Oh-ah-ah
Oh-ah-ah
Oh-ah-ah
Oh-ah-ah
