Hello Steemit. For this week submission, I sing a song by Indonesian singer named Raisa. She is a beautiful singer who has a beautiful voice.
This song is about a girl who wants to end her relationship because she feels like her boyfriend doesn't see her worth and she realizes the relationship won't work. She is willing to wait, but she won't wait forever. Pretty sad, eh? I'm gonna put the lyrics and try to translate it to english.
Some of my friends on other social media kept sharing about this song, and it kept resounding in my head. So I decided to sing this song for Open Mic this week.
Hope you enjoy this.
Lyrics:
Pedihnya tanya yang tak terjawab
Mampu menjatuhkanku yang dikira tegar
Kau tepikan aku, kau renggut mimpi
Yang dulu kita ukir bersama
Seolah aku tak pernah jadi bagian besar dalam hari-harimu
Lebih baik kita usai di sini
Sebelum cerita indah tergantikan pahitnya sakit hati
Bukannya aku mudah menyerah, tapi bijaksana
Mengerti kapan harus berhenti
Ku kan menunggu, tapi tak selamanya
Kau tepikan aku, kau renggut mimpi
Yang dulu kita ukir bersama
Seolah aku tak pernah jadi bagian besar dalam hari-harimu
Seolah janji dan kata-kata yang telah terucap kehilangan arti
Lebih baik kita usai di sini
Sebelum cerita indah tergantikan pahitnya sakit hati
Bukannya aku mudah menyerah, tapi bijaksana
Mengerti kapan harus berhenti
Ku kan menunggu tapi tak selamanya
Tak akan jera kupercaya cinta
Manis dan pahitnya kan kuterima
Kini kisah kita akhiri dengan makna
Lebih baik kita usai di sini
Sebelum cerita indah tergantikan pahitnya sakit hati
Bukannya aku mudah menyerah, tapi bijaksana
Mengerti kapan harus berhenti
Ku kan menunggu, tapi tak selamanya
Ku kan menanti...
Tapi tak selamanya...
Translation:
I thought I was strong,
but the pain of unanswered questions still can make me down
you push me away,
you take away the dreams that we carved together
as if I was never be an important part in your life
It's better for us to end this now
before all the beautiful stories turn into a bitter heartache.
It's not like I give up on you so easily,
I'm just trying to be wise,
I know when I have to stop.
I'll wait for you, but I won't wait forever
you push me away,
you take away the dreams that we carved together
as if I was never be an important part in your life,
as if all the promises you made and the words you said just meant nothing
It's better for us to end this now
before all the beautiful stories turn into a bitter heartache.
It's not like I give up on you so easily,
I'm just trying to be wise,
I know when I have to stop.
I'll wait for you, but I won't wait forever
I won't stop believing in love.
I will take all the sweet and bitterness of it.
Now let's find a meaning to the end of our story.
It's better for us to end this now
before all the beautiful stories turn into a bitter heartache.
It's not like I give up on you so easily,
I'm just trying to be wise,
I know when I have to stop.
I'll wait for you, but I won't wait forever
I'll wait for you, but I won't wait forever.
