[Verse 1]

Lampu kota mulai temaram

City lights begin to dim

Langit jingga berbisik pelan

The orange sky whispers softly

Di sudut kafe, kududuk sendiri

In a corner cafe, I sit alone

Menikmati senja yang menari

Enjoying the dancing twilight

[Chorus]

Oh Ben, malam ini indah

Oh Ben, tonight is beautiful

Iringi langkahku yang gundah

Accompany my restless steps

Melodi jazz mengalun syahdu

Jazz melody flows serenely

Hangatkan hati, bawa mimpiku

Warms the heart, carries my dream

[Verse 2]

Cello berbisik, flute merayu

Cello whispers, flute seduces

Rhodes piano, irama baru

Rhodes piano, a new rhythm

Setiap nada, sentuh jiwaku

Every note touches my soul

Di antara hiruk-pikuk kota itu

Amidst the hustle and bustle of that city

[Chorus]

Oh Ben, malam ini indah

Oh Ben, tonight is beautiful

Iringi langkahku yang gundah

Accompany my restless steps

Melodi jazz mengalun syahdu

Jazz melody flows serenely

Hangatkan hati, bawa mimpiku

Warms the heart, carries my dream

[Bridge]

Swing ringan, kupejam mata

Light swing, I close my eyes

Terbuai dalam alunan nada

Carried away in the flow of notes

Ben, kau ada di setiap irama

Ben, you are in every rhythm

[Chorus]

Oh Ben, malam ini indah

Oh Ben, tonight is beautiful

Iringi langkahku yang gundah

Accompany my restless steps

Melodi jazz mengalun syahdu

Jazz melody flows serenely

Hangatkan hati, bawa mimpiku

Warms the heart, carries my dream
