Lyric

Beribu bintang di langit kini menghilang (Thousands of stars in the sky, vanishing now)
Meraba aku dalam kelam (I am groping in the dark)
Rembulan mengambang kini makin suram (The moon rises, getting gloomy now)
Pudar ilhamku tanpa arah (My inspiration is getting dim, without any direction)

Sedetik wajahmu muncul dalam diam (In a second your face appears quietly)
Ada kerdipan, ada sinar (There is glimmer, there is glow)
Itukah bintang ataupun rembulan (Is that star or moon?)
T’rima kasih kuucapkan (thank you, I greeted)

Izinkan kumencuri bayangan wajahmu (Please allow me to steal the shadow of your face)
Izinkan kumencuri khayalan denganmu (Please allow me to steal the imagination with you)

Maafkanlah, oh… (Apologies…)
Andai lagu ini mengganggu ruangan hidupmu (If this song disturbs the space in your life)

Kau senyumlah, oh (You should smile)
Sekadar memori Kita di arena ini (Just a memory of us in this arena)
Kau ilhamku (You are my inspiration)
Kau ilhamku, oh… (You are my inspiration)

Izinkan kumencuri bayangan wajahmu (Please allow me to steal the shadow of your face)
Izinkan kumencuri khayalan denganmu (Please allow me to steal the imagination with you)

Maafkanlah, oh (Apologies…)
Andai lagu ini mengganggu ruangan hidupmu (If this song disturbs the space in your life)
Kau senyumlah, oh… (You should smile) 2X
