"Hilang Di Zafi" - Halimah Sa'adinova
Ku terbangun dari tidurku,
Melihat keluar, keluar kota
Masih hampa hatiku
Menunggu kata,
Darimu
Mobil dan kereta berbalap
Sementara aku,
Masih menatap,
Waktu berlalu….
Aku menetap, meratap
Mana kau?
Hilang di Zafi
Hilang di Zafi (Mana kau?)
Hilang di Zafi
Hilang di Zafi (Menunggumu)
Hilang di Zafi
Hilang di Zafi (Mana kau?)
Hilang di Zafi

Hilang di Zafi (Menunggumu)
Hilang di Zafi
Hilang di Zafi (Mana kau?)
Hilang di Zafi
Hilang di Zafi (Me-me-nunggumu)
Aku mulai hilang harapan
Berkendara (kendara), jalan raya
Bangunan, Jalanan
Kontradiksi, tak percaya
Ku tak tahu mau kemana
Berjalan entah kemana
Kau bersikap semena*
(Semena-mena)
Kamu dimana, bilang “Maafkan aku-ku”
*it's actually more on "semena-mena" in actual Indonesian, but let's say it's an North Alezian addition to the dictionary
Hilang di Zafi
Hilang di Zafi (Mana kau?)
Hilang di Zafi
Hilang di Zafi (Menunggumu)
Hilang di Zafi
Hilang di Zafi (Mana kau?)
Hilang di Zafi
Hilang di Zafi (Menunggumu)
Hilang di Zafi
Hilang di Zafi (Mana kau?)
Hilang di Zafi
Hilang di Zafi (Menunggumu)
Hilang di Zafi
Hilang di Zafi (Mana kau?)
Hilang di Zafi
Hilang di Zafi (Me-me-nunggumu)
Aku lelah menunggu,
Aku tak urus tentangmu
Saat kau menangis tersedu
Aku tak mau tahu
Dan lihatlah,
Ku kuat tanpamu
Meski kau tinggalkan aku dan
Meski kau jujur padaku
Ku tak mau, tak mau
Mana kau?
Ahhhhhh.....
(Hilang di Zafi
Hilang di Zafi (Mana kau?)
Hilang di Zafi
Hilang di Zafi (Menunggumu))
Hilang di Zafi
Hilang di Zafi (Mana kau?)
Hilang di Zafi
Hilang di Zafi (Menunggumu)
Hilang di Zafi
Hilang di Zafi (Mana kau?)
Hilang di Zafi

"Berjalan Bersama" - Dian Tarakita
Ciptaan yang berjiwa
Hati terasa hampa
Meski pikiran lantang bersuara
Dalam dunia baru
Ku merasa terharu
Mimpi alam terus berseru
Dan kau
Yang hidup di jajaran pulau-pulau
Kita menghadapi kemarau
Jangan galau
Bahu-membahu
Mari kita berjalan bersama
Berjalan bersama
Berjalan bersama
Berjalan bersama
Berjalan bersama
Berjalan bersama
Lihat jauh ke hilir
Air terus mengalir
Dan ku beranjak penuh harapan
Dan kau
Yang hidup di jajaran pulau-pulau
Kita menghadapi kemarau
Jangan galau
Bahu-membahu
Mari kita berjalan bersama
(Jangan sampé indahnya hilang)
(Ngerusakin dunia)
(Ayo kita pasti bisa)
(Bareng-bareng kita bisa)
Berjalan bersama
Jangan sampé indahnya hilang
Ngerusakin dunia
Ayo kita pasti bisa
Bareng-bareng kita bisa
Mari kita berjalan bersama
Berjalan bersama
Berjalan bersama
(Jangan sampé indahnya hilang)
(Ngerusakin dunia)
Berjalan bersama
(Ayo kita pasti bisa)
(Bareng-bareng kita bisa)

JOIJA
"WORTH DYING FOR" - PASTICHE
'Worth Dying For' is unlike the other songs on Pastiche's second album 'A Reason to Kill'. Deviating away from their grittier indie rock sound on their debut 'Moveaway', 'Worth Dying For' never even fit into 'A Reason to Kill'. It was almost a black sheep.
The song itself is a solemn piano ode to a friend who lost her life aged 21. Her story was all over the news for months after, and was a warning to never go out to sea during a storm.
The single cover shows a picture of an abandoned lifeboat bunker in southern Mahgalo.
Pastiche started as a small music project consisting of bassist Alex Linkager (b. 1994), drummer and main songwriter Guinévere Romford (b.1993), and singer and keyboardist Janida Malkni (b.1994), who all met at the Arts University of Victoria in 2012. Their debut album 'Moveaway' became a national success, reaching to No. 3 on the Rock Album Supertop 50 in 2014. Their signature hit, 'Slow Hands', got to No. 1 on the Rock Single Supertop 50, and echoed the works of post-punk bands Heligo and Angry Man.
Pastiche was chosen by internal selection as Joija's first ever WHF contestants. AUV and JTV worked alongside to choose potential contestants and after a long decision process, Pastiche was picked out. However, the song was chosen by a national final, out of 'Worth Dying For', 'Goodnight Sunlight', 'No I in Team' and 'There's No Way Back'. All entires but 'Worth Dying For' were written by Guinévere Romford.
Alex Linkager
Alex Cheng Linkager (b. 9th August 1994 in Fleurvoren, Hoek River Province) is a Joijan bassist and broadcast engineer for Channel Seven. He studied Media and Broadcast Engineering at the Arts University of Victoria, later going to work for Channel Seven, alongside playing with Pastiche. He is married to Channel Seven weatherman Andras Laszlo.
Guinévere Romford
Guinévere Kaya Romford (b. 11th November 1993 in Ellesmere Port, UK) is a Joijan drummer. She studied Contemporary Music Theory and Performance at the Arts University of Victoria. She is currently the youngest drummer on the Joijan Highest Paid Drummers list. She is in a long-term relationship with artist Jaime Artana.
Janida Malkni
Janida Malkni (b. 17th May 1994 in Olpa Leeuw, Capital Province) is a Joijan singer and keyboardist. She studied Sound Engineering at the Arts University of Victoria. She is known for her distinctive contralto range comparable to Cher or Lauryn Hill. She lives in Port Samson, Victoria.
I bolt upright, at 4am
The phone is ringing on the desk
My brain is aching in my tired head
While the world is sleeping
I grab the phone
Driving down to her mom's house
She is tearing up inside
She says she went down to the coastline
And never returned that night
And I cried
Now that I have lost someone
I feel more numb
Than I ever have before
Was this all worth dying for?
Was this all worth dying for?
Was this all worth dying for?
Her dad got called at 6:30
They want him on the local news
The cameras flash outside his house
At the cliff, they found her shoes
And I cried
Now that I have lost someone
I feel more numb
Than I ever have before
Was this all worth dying for?
Was this all worth dying for?
Was this all worth dying for?
As weeks went by, it showed no signs of stopping
They told me "Why would she do such a thing?"
And I broke down
We all broke down
Cause we're all tired
Of lying
Going back to my apartment
I only felt more alone
She felt alone
He felt alone
We all knew it
Was this all worth dying for?
Was this all worth dying for?
Was this all worth dying for?

PEMECUTAN
"TETAP DI HATI" - AGUS TEJA ft. TRISNA ARYA AND NURAINI FAJRIN
A....ha.....ha....a....
(Sakadi arsa tresnane kepanggih
Sauripe masawitra ngejalanin karma ajak e dadua)
Masa yang ku jalani
Masa yang ku lalui
Jadi kenangan yang tak kan mati
Walau kau telah pergi
Walau kau tak kan kembali
Bayangmu s'lalu ada di hati
Saat kita berjalan bersama dalam suka duka
Rasa bahagia selimuti hati
Dan ku telah lewati s'gala rintangan
Tapi takdir seperti tak berpihak kepadaku
It's been like years just you and me
Together we were faced this whole wide world
No matter what they say we would still always be together
Shutting up all the words, standing tall for our love till fate came and tear us both apart
Nyalanin idup sane sampun kasurat
Urip ban nyilih sing ngidang ngelidin
Karmane mejalan pabuat di jagate
Tresna kepanggih mengalahin mati
Saat kita berjalan bersama dalam suka duka
Rasa bahagia selimuti hati
Dan ku telah lewati s'gala rintangan
Tapi takdir seperti tak berpihak kepadaku...u....u...u...
(E ae e ae
Ae ae ae a)
Hu....u....u...hu....Hu...u...u...
(A....ha.....ha....a....)
Aaaaa.....!!!!
Urip ban nyilih sing ngidang ngelidin
Karmane mejalan pabuat d jagate
Tresna kepanggih mengalahin mati
Tresna kepanggih mengalahin mati
(Ae ae ae a
Ae ae oy
Ae ae ae a
Ae ae oy)

BRITONISEA
"MY FINAL PROMISE." - AIDA
While Britonisea placed a respectable 6th place in Achaean Republic the edition before, the placement meant the first time that Britonisea failed to finish in the top five consecutively since the 28th World Hit Festival. Tom Stardust, the Head of Delegation is going a different route to see whether the nation can return back to the Top 5.
Britonisea winning every other edition was halted by Fromulya and the other four nations which placed above Britonisea at the 54th World Hit Festival. With many people placing their bets that the nation would, for the fifth time, win on an even-numbered edition, they were left a tad disappointed and out of pocket when Britonisea failed to gain any 5 points which would have helped propelled the nation up the scoreboard. Though, all was not lost as Britonisea managed to get itself back onto the left handside of the scoreboard with the right starting to become particularly familiar to the team at BVC. Tom stated in today's entry reveal press conference that "as can seen in the WorldVision Song Contest, pardon my French, there seems to be some sort of shift going on here at the World Hit Festival. We have had two new winners, which is always a good thing but it means we must try harder to get ourselves back on track and back to the top. It wasn't ages ago "Tongue-Tied" won the World Hit Festival...even if it feels like it!"
AIDA performed her song live at the Press Conference much to the delight of those in the audience, who applauded her weird and whacky stage persona, with them commenting on how the song does sound Britonish with added madness to it. The team at BVC are excited to head to Fromulya's outdoor space to see how they could stage this entry on a not-so conventional-looking stage. The song has been released internationally but we have to wait a week or so to see how well "MY FINAL PROMISE." does in the charts. The World Hit Festival is set to happen on the 21st November this edition, a shorter wait than last time.
As I stare at my reflection,
My face - blue, beaten, battered,
I can see nothing but imperfections.
Why did you do this to me?
Did you no longer need me?
Since you had used me,
Was I now too dirty?
In and out, in and out, your anger in me.
Truth and lies, truth and lies, what is your story?
Left and right, left and right,
You left me right here, left me for dead
You will hide the truth with all your lies,
People beguiled by your smile -
So no one would believe me.
I’ll fight - ‘till the very end, I’ll die
Knowing deep down that I tried,
To end the darkness with light.
I know how much you fear me,
I know your darkest secrets.
You thought you silenced me,
You’ve made me stronger.
I’ll take you down, I promise.
I’ll be relentless, ruthless.
You can’t escape your inexorable fate.
You broke me down into nothing,
Nothing but dust blowing in the wind.
Thought you were victorious yet I’m still here.
You saw tears fall down my cheek,
Mistook it for weakness.
What goes around comes around,
It’s now your round.
In and out, in and out, your anger in me.
Truth and lies, truth and lies, what is your story?
Left and right, left and right,
You left me right here, left me for dead
You will hide the truth with all your lies,
People beguiled by your smile -
So no one would believe me.
I’ll fight - ‘till the very end, I’ll die
Knowing deep down that I tried,
To end the darkness with light.
I know how much you fear me,
I know your darkest secrets.
You thought you’ve silenced me,
You’ve made me stronger.
I’ll take you down, I promise.
I’ll be relentless, ruthless.
You can’t escape your inexorable fate.
You will hide the truth with all your lies,
People beguiled by your smile -
So no one would believe me.
I’ll fight - ‘till the very end, I’ll die
Knowing deep down that I tried,
To end the darkness with light.
I know how much you fear me,
I know your darkest secrets.
You thought you’ve silenced me,
You’ve made me stronger.
I’ll take you down, I promise.
I’ll be relentless, ruthless.
You can’t escape your inexorable fate.
I know how much you fear me,
I know your darkest secrets.
You thought you’ve silenced me,
You’ve made me stronger.
I’ll take you down, I promise.
I’ll be relentless, ruthless.
You can’t escape your inexorable fate.

Togonistan
"Freefall" - Ray Carter & The Gatherers
Ever since the dawn of time
I've been stuck in a freefall
For all my life I've been walking
While slowly fading
I've lost my senses
And I've lost my head
I feel no tension
As I fade away
All this time
Been in a freefall
All this time
Been in a freefall
No longer am I wide and awake
Haven't been since the dawn of time
My head is up in the clouds
Closed inside my safe haven
I fade away
I'm fading away
I'm fading away
I'm a shadow
I'm just a shadow
A shadow of myself
All by myself i'm standing
While i'm slowly fading
Used to have times of laugh and joy
No more am I that boy
I fade away
I'm fading away
I'm fading away
I'm a shadow
I'm just a shadow
A shadow of myself
What is life?
What's there to live for?
What's there to live for?
Where's my place in this life?
Where's my place in this life?

Achaean Republic
"Viento" - Laura Lee
While enjoying a warm day in sunny, breezy Brahmokerto, Achaean indie pop/rock group Laura Lee encountered the prospect of a burial in a Muslim cemetery close to the street. They were so intrigued by the intimate procedures that they begged their tour guides in mangled Bahasa and English and Spanish to stop the car he was driving so they could watch. Once the driver pumped the brakes on mid-highway and dropped them off to a side, they observed the strange rituals that would happen next.
The driver explained to them that this person was a young, studious scholar who dreamed of becoming an imam, a poet and a philosopher. He died of a heart attack at the tender age of eighteen; a voracious reader of classical Islamic jurisprudence who never let his age become an impediment to his dreams of fortuitous study. His body was already cleansed and anointed with the freshest oils, wrapped in a white kafan delicately embroidered in decadent calligraphy, with many verses of the surah crafted in the place where his heart was supposed to be carried for. The villagers were dressed in their finest attire for the funeral, carried with not a dissimilar precision as they would a wedding: the men impeccably dressed with their finest ivory dresses, some hand-crafted with colorful batik embroidery and a rounded taqiyah covering their heads; the women slowly retreating in the back, some praying and others cooking a communal meal after the ceremony, wearing dark kebayas and even some a black hijab to signal their piety while mourning. The mourning prayers were beginning, and more villagers joined in with their plates of halal food and well wishes for family.
Then the wind blew stronger over their heads, and it began to rain. The wind wiped out the flames of the nearby Hindu temple, broke a few windows in the kampung, ruined internet connections for at least fifteen minutes and waved dangerous amounts of carbon monoxide emanating from the cars to the onlookers watching the procession. The wind had a powerful pull, an intoxicating embrace, a signal that life was being taken away once again.
Such was the scene the band’s singer, Miguel Fuentes, remembered when he buried his father at the age of thirteen in a Corola cemetery. It was windy when he received the Achaean flag from weary and broken soldiers who were also his father’s subjects, disciples and confidantes, who stayed with him until the moment he lost his life fighting in Afghanistan. Miguel could never forgive himself why he chose to die halfway across the world when he could’ve at least played basketball with him one more time.
Such was the experience for the drummer, Gamalier Piñeiro, a guitarist that felt the wind chill through his spine when he remembered the death of his musical mentor, Andrés Camaro. He listened to his CD’s and watched his DVDs. He even went to a few of his concerts and even had a signed autograph from him. But the moment he learned his hero died, the world was crushed under the weight of his grief, and the wind blew stronger and touched his body.
Such were the expectations the guitarist, Josué Martínez, went through after his best friend and cousin, shot due to some drug busts gone wrong in the local caserío where he was involved in some shady deals. Basketball friends, rap buddies, school friends, confidantes and frienemies, Josúe never got over, in his heart of hearts, he never knew why he had to be there in the wrong place at the wrong time. He paid life for life, life for somebody else’s wind.
As the wind blew beside them while they witnessed the scene at the burial, they reflected on the beauty of death. Beauty? Yes. The wind blowing beneath their faces, slowly remind them that their time on Earth is painful and finite, and they needed to enjoy their time and find meaning on it. The wind would only remind them of the time they had left.
El viento sopla de donde quiera cursar su final
Escuchas su sonido; ¿cuándo acabará?
El viento va y viene, viene y descansa
Llevándose el alma de mi ser
¡Ay! ¡Ay! ¡Ay! ¡Ay!
Somos del polvo, una tenue mirada
Se desvanece y todo se acaba
El espíritu sube y desciende al suelo
Somos como hierba, la flor del campo que
La mañana crece y la tarde es secada
La ira nos consume cuando dolor suple
Con toda su fuerza pronta pasa y vuela
¡Ay! ¡Ay! ¡Ay! ¡Ay!
Somos del polvo, una tenue mirada
Se desvanece y todo se acaba
El espíritu sube y desciende al suelo
Tú no sabes en cuál dirección soplará
El viento en tu vientre, y así me ignorarás
Cuando el viento observa, nada se hace seimpre
Quien mira las nubes, la mies no se siega
¡Ay! ¡Ay! ¡Ay! ¡Ay!
¡Ay! ¡Ay! ¡Ay! ¡Ay!
¡Ay! ¡Ay! ¡Ay! ¡Ay!
¡Ay! ¡Ay! ¡Ay! ¡Ay!
¡Ay! ¡Ay! ¡Ay! ¡Ay!

Tödlichebujoku
"Supernova" - Ī Astoles
Stars erupt, I hear no sound
How I'm still screaming and no words come out
No words come out
I dream again, another sky
When my heart mattered and I felt alive
I felt alive
Watch our galaxies collide into a chaos spin
Pull in two directions and I can't give in
The agony of losing you to everything
But when I turn around, I'm cast away
Can we take control, ohh..
Before my soul explodes
In a super, nova, super, nova?
Though we're worlds apart, ohh..
Could you sense my heart
Feel it super, nova, super, nova?
Silence speaks, in deadened space
Our frozen embers gleam in empty wastes
In all these empty wastes
I miss your warmth, I miss your breath
Remember life lived before this icy death
Let me dream again, oh
Watch our galaxies collide into a chaos spin
Pull in two directions and I can't give in
The agony of losing you to everything
But when I turn around, I'm cast away
Can we take control, ohh..
Before my soul explodes
In a super, nova, super, nova?
Though we're worlds apart, ohh..
Could you sense my heart
Feel it super, nova, super, nova?
Do you feel alone?
Rogue, adrift, unknown
Can we take control, ohh..
Before my soul explodes
In a super, nova, super, nova?
Though we're worlds apart, (though we're worlds apart)
Ohh..
Could you sense my heart
Feel it super, nova, super, nova?

Normandy and Picardy
"À Nouveau" - Philippe Lyotard
Well, no offense meant, but you [i.e. Simone] can be very insistent, as I learnt. I had originally said that I wasn't interested, that this wans't the sort of thing that I was looking to do, and that I didn't even know anything about the contest. Indeed, I'm still not entirely quite what I've gotten myself self into haha. In any case, yeah, so, she sent me a cheeky email with links to the last few contests, asking me very politely to watch them and get a feel for the contest, and I couldn't well refuse, you see, and so I watched them, and well, now I'm here... No, but seriously, I'm glad she kept on pushing me. I think this is going to be a great experience, I get to do something I'm passionate about, performing. For me, this is a once-in-a-lifetime, and indeed a personal, experience, as much as it is me representing the country, although trust me, the weight of the responsibility is already bearing down on me...
Well, I can't say I had any particular message in mind, to be honest, I just went to go and right a great song, a song that I can truly feel and which I am happy to take to what is almost certainly going to be the biggest stage I will perform on in my life, no doubt... Like everything in this whole mad turn of events, it is personal to me, it is a song which speaks to me, and I can only hope it speaks to you all out there as well. Loss, loss is sadly a pretty universal thing, and is always there, so I think it is universal, there is something there for everyone too... Take from it what you will, at the end of the day. All I can do is write and perform the music
Quelquefois j'imagine sentir à nouveau ces nuits
Les sensations sur ma peau et entendre toutes les bruits
Des voitures au loin et ton souffle près de moi
Pendant que tu levais les yeux aux étoiles, j'ai vu seulement toi
J'avais pas honte tandis qu'ils illuminaient en jugement
Fragile comme mon petit cœur, si lontain et si brillant
Mais comme la lune doit décoître, ou la nuit se transforme en journée
Je me suis réveillé, je me suis rendu compte que je rêvais
J'peux pas supporter te perdre à nouveau
J'veux que cette moment dure toujours
Juste comme mes memoires ou mes rêves
Mais te souviens-tu même ces jours?
J'n'était pas là-bas vraiment
Tu te sentais finalement?
Mais je tarde que je voie ton visage, il me hante encore
Comme une compagnon de voyage, il me suit en descendant la rue
Au loin de ma propre ville et au loin de ma propre vie
J'arpentes autour des ruines et je vois ce qu'était autrefois
Maintentant les batiments s'effondrent et la nuit se rapprochent
Les fantômes de ma vie, il me console, toutefois
Bien qu'ils disparaissent comme toi à crépuscule silencieux
J'peux pas supporter te perdre à nouveau
J'veux que cette moment dure toujours
Juste comme mes memoires ou mes rêves
Mais te souviens-tu même ces jours?
J'espère encore que tu serais là un jour en tendant la main
Et je le saisirai et je saurai que tu serais ici demain
Et je ne lâcherai jamais juste comme je l'ai fait avant
Je tiendrai toi informé que je suis ici à chaque moment
Mais je sais que le spectacle se termine et le rappel arrive
Et je sais que tu dois partir alors qu'il me fait du mal
Alors dis-moi que tu m'aimes et je te croirai à nouveau
Pour que tu puisse d'etre heureux et je puisse pleurer
J'peux pas supporter te perdre à nouveau
J'veux que cette moment dure toujours
Juste comme mes memoires ou mes rêves
Mais te souviens-tu même ces jours?
J'peux pas supporter te perdre à nouveau

Estogium
"Feral" - Felix Thompson
During the song reveal show for Estogium at the World Hit Festival, it was announced that 29-year-old Felix Thompson from Exeter in the North of Estogium will represent the country with his song, "Feral". He said that his song is for the wild spirits out there, with a song that will get your foot tapping. He said that he wants to set the stage alight in Fromulya, with a huge stage production promised for the live performance in a couple of weeks time. He was inspired by Estogium's recent 3rd at the 52nd World Hit Festival which he thought was staged well and was a good song that RVC could be proud of. He's hoping that at the upcoming World Hit Festival, he will be able to create just as much hype - if not, even more than three editions ago.
Can he do it? I guess we will just have to find out...
Stop boy, you know I’m crazy.
Living life on the edge,
I know that I ain’t got much time.
I end each night on a high.
As long as I feel good,
Don’t care if it’s wrong or right.
Listen and learn, don’t speak,
I’ll give you what you seek.
You’ll feel something unique,
You’ll scream “Oh my God!”
You’ll see my inner freak,
I will make your knees weak.
Come take a peek into the life I live!
1...2...3...3
Come, enter the world inside my mind,
Where time stalls and no one is sober.
Where we’re all high on cloud nine all the time.
A place where wine fills all the oceans,
Where we're nothing but wild, we’re feral.
This world is mine, it’s in the palm of my hands.
So, no don’t you dare get in my way.
Everything is upside down,
Because life as you know it, it doesn’t exist in my head.
The boy you knew once before,
He is reformed, he’s reborn
He’s reborn into someone new.
Listen and learn, don’t speak,
I’ll give you what you seek.
You’ll feel something unique,
You’ll scream “Oh my God!”
You’ll see my inner freak,
I will make your knees weak.
Come take a peek into the life I live!
1...2...3...
Come, enter the world inside my mind,
Where time stalls and no one is sober.
Where we’re all high on cloud nine all the time.
A world where wine fills all the oceans,
Where we're nothing but wild, we’re feral.
The Earth is mine, it’s in the palm of my hands.
So, no don’t you dare get in my way.
We’re feral tonight,
We’re feral tonight,
We’re feral tonight,
We’re feral ah!
1...2...3...
Come, enter the world inside my mind,
Where we're nothing but wild, we’re feral.
The Earth is mine, it’s in the palm of my hands.
So, no don’t you dare get in my way.

Ratoh Jaroe traditional dance — Samudera Pasai Dance Ensemble
Dalam berpasangan, kita mencari isyarat
Yang ditinggal oleh mereka
Terlahir fasih bicara bahasa qalbu
Kita sendiri memaknai cinta
Bagaikan kain, hati penuh sulaman
Dengan namamu, kau lelaki idaman
Kebaikanmu, tanpa imbalan
Ku sangat ingin memenangkan hati Ihsan
Terik hari, sejuk malam
Dan perasaan itu ada
Kita ungkap yang di dalam
Hal yang tak bisa kita raba
Yang hilang dalam perkataan
Muncul di dalam perbuatan
Inilah pembuktian diri
Betulkah ini cinta? Sungguh ada!
Bagaikan kain, hati penuh sulaman
Dengan namamu, kau lelaki idaman
Kebaikanmu, tanpa imbalan
Ku sangat ingin memenangkan hati Ihsan
Hasrat yang ada padaku semakin ada
Bagai air pasang yang tak kunjung reda
Kau tak seperti yang lain, kau berbeda
Kaulah lelaki yang sangat istimewa
Bagaikan kain, hati penuh sulaman
Dengan namamu, kau lelaki idaman
Kebaikanmu, tanpa imbalan
Ku sangat ingin memenangkan hati Ihsan
Bagaikan kain, hati penuh sulaman
Dengan namamu, kau lelaki idaman
Kebaikanmu, tanpa imbalan
Ku sangat ingin memenangkan hati Ihsan
