[Verse 1]

Sayup-sayup terdengar namamu

Faintly, your name is heard

Angin malam bawakan rinduku

The night wind brings my longing

Terbayang senyummu di sana

Your smile is imagined there

Hatiku merana, oh sayangku

My heart suffers, oh my darling

[Chorus]

Walau jauh di mata, dekat di hati

Though far from the eyes, close to the heart

Hanya memori temani mimpi

Only memories accompany dreams

Ku nanti saat kita bersua lagi

I await the time we meet again

Cinta kita takkan mati

Our love will never die

[Verse 2]

Terasa kosong hari-hariku

My days feel empty

Tanpa gelak tawa manjamu

Without your sweet laughter

Setiap bintang di langit biru

Every star in the blue sky

Mengingatkanku pada dirimu

Reminds me of you

[Chorus]

Walau jauh di mata, dekat di hati

Though far from the eyes, close to the heart

Hanya memori temani mimpi

Only memories accompany dreams

Ku nanti saat kita bersua lagi

I await the time we meet again

Cinta kita takkan mati

Our love will never die

[Bridge]

Jarak ini menguji kesabaran

This distance tests our patience

Namun takkan padamkan harapan

But it will not extinguish hope

Pasti tiba waktu pertemuan

The time for our reunion will surely come

[Chorus]

Walau jauh di mata, dekat di hati

Though far from the eyes, close to the heart

Hanya memori temani mimpi

Only memories accompany dreams

Ku nanti saat kita bersua lagi

I await the time we meet again

Cinta kita takkan mati

Our love will never die
