This is one of the Indonesian songs that you like. The title is Tak Bisakah by PeterPan. It is the original soundtrack of the movie Alexandria. Hence the screenshots in the videoclip. I finally found one English translation in the net, though I have to say it’s not beautiful enough. I’ve fixed some of the translation, but frankly, it can be difficult to translate this song and at the same time make sure that the lyrics remain as beautiful as the original…
Well, basically… the song is not saying much but this. Please wait for me. You know that you are in my heart, so please wait for me. At the end of all these, my path will lead me to you.
TAK BISAKAH
Hatiku bimbang namun tetap pikirkanmu
Selalu slalu dalam hatiku
Kumelangkah sejauh apapun itu
Selalu kau didalam hatiku
My heart is unsteady, but keeps on thinking about you
Always, always in my heart
No matter how far I may go
It is always you in my heart
Ku berjalan berjalan memutar waktu
Berharap temukan sisa hatimu
Mengertilah ku ingin engkau begitu
Mengerti kau didalam hatiku
I am walking, spinning the time
Wishing to find the rest of your heart
Please understand, I want you that way
Understand that you are in my heart
Tak Bisakah kau menungguku
Hingga nanti tetap menunggu
Tak Bisakah kau menuntunku
Menemani dalam hidupku
Can’t you please wait for me?
Until then, keep on waiting for me?
Can’t you please guide me?
Stay beside me throughout this life?
Ku berjalan-berjalan memutar waktu
Berharap temukan sisa hatimu
Mengertilah ku ingin engkau begitu
Mengerti kau didalam hatiku
(translated as above)
Dara kau menjadi hidupku
Kemana Kau tau isi hatiku
Tunggu sejenak aku disitu
Jalanku jalan menemukanmu
Girl, you become my life
Wherever, you know what’s inside my heart
Please wait awhile for me over there
My path is the path that leads to you
Tak Bisakah kau menungguku
Hingga nanti tetap menunggu
Tak Bisakah kau menuntunku
Menemani dalam hidupku
(translated as above)
