MAAFKAN AKU TAK BERDAYA

Maafkanlah oh kasih
Maafkan sayang
Ku membuat dirimu jadi kecewa

Bukan kehendak hati
Kita berpisah
Diriku dan dirimu tiada berdaya
Tiada berdaya...

Dua hati berpisah
Dua hati kecewa
Cintaku dan cintamu
Tak pernah padam

Walau ku menyintamu
Dan engkau menyintaku
Namun suratan takdir
Harus berpisah
Harus berpisah…

FORGIVE MY HELPLESSNESS

Forgive me oh my love

Forgive me, dear

I made you so disappointed

Not the will of the heart

We parted ways

Myself and you are helpless

Helpless...

Two hearts parted

Two hearts disappointed

My love and your love

Never goes out

Though I love you

And you love me

But the written of fate

We must be apart

Must be apart...
