Paroles et traduction Imam S. Arifin - Potret Kenangan

Potret Kenangan

Apalah artinya cinta
Kalau begini akhirnya
Hancur hati ini
Pedih, aduh, pedih

Kupandang-pandang potretmu, oh
Sebagai pengobat lukaku
Kupandang-pandang potretmu, oh
Sebagai penawar rinduku

Walau ku tahu tak mungkin seutuhnya
Dirimu dapat aku miliki
Biar kubawa derita hati ini
Bersama sisa-sisa cintamu

Kupandang-pandang potretmu, oh
Sebagai penawar rinduku

Nasib, ya, nasib, mengapa jadi begini?
Bunga yang kusiram kini dipetik orang
Ternyata janji tak mampu menahan lagi
Apa yang menjadi kehendak ayah-ibumu
Mengapa jadi begini akhir sebuah cintaku?

Kupandang-pandang potretmu, oh
Sebagai penawar rinduku
Kupandang-pandang potretmu, oh
Sebagai pengobat lukaku

Nasib, ya, nasib, mengapa jadi begini?
Bunga yang kusiram kini dipetik orang
Ternyata janji tak mampu menahan lagi
Apa yang menjadi kehendak ayah-ibumu
Mengapa jadi begini akhir sebuah cintaku?

Kupandang-pandang potretmu, oh
Sebagai penawar rinduku
Kupandang-pandang potretmu, oh
Sebagai pengobat lukaku

Portrait of Memories

What is the meaning of love
If this is the end
My heart is broken
Painful, oh, painful

I look at your portrait, oh
As a cure for my wounds
I look at your portrait, oh
As an antidote to my longing

Although I know it's impossible completely
To have you all to myself
Let me carry this heartache
With the remnants of your love

I look at your portrait, oh
As an antidote to my longing

Fate, oh, fate, why is it like this?
The flower I watered is now picked by someone else
It turns out promises can't hold anymore
What is the will of your parents?
Why is the end of my love like this?

I look at your portrait, oh
As an antidote to my longing
I look at your portrait, oh
As a cure for my wounds

Fate, oh, fate, why is it like this?
The flower I watered is now picked by someone else
It turns out promises can't hold anymore
What is the will of your parents?
Why is the end of my love like this?

I look at your portrait, oh
As an antidote to my longing
I look at your portrait, oh
As a cure for my wounds
