1. Blue Scarf - Happy Asmara

If you want more
Better I who turn away
If the feeling is dead
Just say it
It’s hard to hold your love

If you want more
Better I who turn away
If the feeling is dead
Just say it
Don’t you take it with your scarf

The blue scarf that’s on your shoulder
Fades without color leaving a mark on my clothes
Blue scarf .. That’s on your shoulder
Will disappear and won’t come back, back to my hands
Disappears along with my feeling of love

2. Wewayangan - Niken Salindry

Wewayangan that I adore
does not disappear from my mind
I have forgotten it many times
but in fact I cannot forget it

I always remember your smile
never escaping from my sight
the beauty of your face
you are the heart of my soul

My beloved
do not run away from my longing
become the remedy of love
entering the depths of my heart

3. Lintang Asmoro - Yeni Inka feat. Nella Kharisma

In the afternoon between nights
Only remembering the sweetness of the heart
My sadness can possess
Towards the goddess Sulaksmi

The feeling of longing that envelops
The star and moon become sexy
The offering does not fulfill
The promise of mutual salvation and mutual death

Beautiful person, your love is a remedy
Pain within my heart
Beautiful person, the essence of your feelings
My love is sincere within my soul

Even if I navigate the ocean
My feelings will never fade
Even if my soul jumps from my body
Love can never be separated

The star and moon become sexy
The offering does not fulfill
The promise of mutual salvation and mutual death

Pain within my heart

Even if I navigate the ocean
My feelings will never fade
Even if my soul jumps from my body
Love can never be separated

If it is love
It cannot be separated

4. Sotya - Sasya Arkhisna

This is the writing of my song
For you, the light of my heart
The sweetness that is like honey
The essence of your beauty that never fades

My beloved, the essence of my heart
You are the only one
The sky and earth that witness
When we vow with our words

Reff:
You are my only beloved
My jewel is only you, the beautiful one
My prayer is, my beloved
Do not forget your faithful promise

But all of that is in vain
Remember the pain of love
I have tried to forget you
But I cannot forget, I cannot forget

5. Dream - Denny Caknan

The whispering night wind always waits
Loyalty is in the depth of the heart
The feeling of emptiness in the quiet night
Always longing for your arrival, oh my dear

The beautiful one approaches me
Looking at your sweet smile
Bringing calmness, my heart feels at peace
May your love never break, my dear

Like the ocean's tide that has no end
My love for you, my dear
The moonlight shining brightly in the sky
Indeed, you are the one who becomes my dream

The beautiful one approaches, embracing my body
Easing the pain in my heart
Because your beauty lingers in my mind
May your love never break, oh my dear

Like the ocean's tide that has no end
My love for you, my dear
The moonlight shining brightly in the sky
Indeed, you are the one who becomes my dream
Indeed, you are the one who becomes my dream

6. Son - Ndarboy Genk

Once my house was made of bamboo
It would leak when it rained
Father worked only if there was a project

Back then we didn't have ceramics
Wanted to sleep cool but hot
The important thing was to eat every day

Now I am grown up
I can earn my own money
Even though back then I could only trouble
My father and mother forgive me

Now I have worked
Even though my life is difficult
Willingly serving for the family

I am a son
My work is just following the path
Hopefully I can elevate my family's status

My father and mother’s faces
Took care of me as I grew up
Even though I have many mistakes
I ask for blessings

Even though I have many mistakes
I ask for blessings

Many ups and downs
I ask for prayers and support

Once I dropped out of school
Because the situation was difficult
Father's advice was to be a proper person

7. Defeated - Happy Asmara feat. Hasan Toys

Do you remember
yesterday holding my hand
sharing stories about your ex
but now you’ve left me

I say goodbye my love
I let go of my hold
thank you for having sheltered.. my rainy days
and accompanying.. my loneliness yesterday

What am I supposed to do accompanying you all this time
if in the end you choose to go back to your ex

From eating until following the path
I followed hoping to have you
I have sacrificed my time
still losing to your ex

As great as your feelings and efforts for me
cannot replace her in my heart
forgive me my love
the one who wins is still my past

I admit my attitude yesterday was just deceiving
as if I truly loved you...

As vast as the sky
I am the one who misunderstood your attitude

What am I supposed to do accompanying you all this time
if in the end... you choose to go back to your ex....

From eating until following the path
I followed hoping to have you
I have sacrificed my time
still losing to your ex

As great as your feelings and... your efforts for me
cannot replace... her in my heart
forgive me my love...
the one who wins is my past...

It should be my body that is your choice
(but my love is still for you...)
why must it be your past
(I cannot forget the story... yesterday)
I cannot accept my defeat

I think the time that has passed
hasan
is a sign that you accept my feelings

I'm sorry my love
the one who won is still my past
I understand my love
the one who won
is still your past

8. Daughter - Happy Asmara

My father worked only when there was a project

In the past, there was no ceramic
Wanting to sleep in a cool breeze
The important thing is to eat every day

I can earn my own money
Even though before I could only cause trouble

Even though my life is hard
Sincerely devoted to my family

9. Cundamani - Denny Caknan

Every night
Thinking about the contents of my heart
Is this love really
Becoming one

I'm sure in my thoughts
There’s not a bit of worry
This story
Will be beautifully etched

Be sure
I'm really sure
Swear to the promise
My tears truly fall

Less and less
My shortcomings are forgiven
If it is like this

Dear..
I entrust my soul
I entrust my love

This happiness is only understood by you
Becoming a companion in my story
Throughout my life

Star..
Thank you for accompanying
Thank you for witnessing
Light the path I traverse
The heart's betrayal
God will resolve

Less and less
My shortcomings are forgiven
If it is like this

10. Klebus - Guyon Waton

The road is crowded but my heart is lonely
The wind of love is met with love
In reality, love is responded to with gratitude
It's already comfortable, once loved, but then it disappears

Almost leaving is hard to endure the pain
Always trying to be there even if you don't feel anything
The feelings that I suddenly feel myself
Caught in love, hope is just a wish, you choose another

The sky is dark, the rain is getting heavier, it reaches my heart
Close to me, but your heart belongs to someone else

Reff :
This path has become an escape for you who need entertainment
I who love, I who fight
Your part is like usual, the part that only hurts me

You should know

My love is number one
It's easier to fulfill promises
You hurt me

My efforts are no less
My heart is completely devoted
When I was out, I happened to meet you on the road
You were with someone else

Tell me, what do you want?
I will follow you, I will try
I don't mind if you fight alone
What matters is that you end up happy

But why, your response to me
You prefer someone else
You left me, left scars
What more do I need to do to keep you
You even chose someone else

Think about your happiness, it's easy for me

Tell me, what do you want?
I will follow you, I will try
I don't mind if you fight alone
What matters is that you end up happy

But why, your response to me
You prefer someone else
You left me, left scars
What more do I need to do to keep you
You even chose someone else

But why, your response to me
You prefer someone else
You left me, left scars
What more do I need to do to keep you
You even chose someone else

You even chose that person
Turns out I, you took for granted

13. Don't Compare - Denny Caknan feat Abah Lala

Why do you compare me like this?
My rivals will surely lose
I admit I am not capable
Only as strong as my love for you

I hope you understand
In this heart, there is only you

Clearly different when compared
There’s nothing to show off
I can’t if you make it difficult
Honestly as it is

Who is the one that doesn’t have a broken heart?
Has accompanied until now
But everything means nothing
There’s no value

Why do you compare me like this?
My rivals will surely lose
I admit I am not capable
Only as strong as my love for you

I hope you understand
In this heart, there is only you

Who is the one that doesn’t have a broken heart?
Has accompanied until now
But everything means nothing
There’s no value

Why do you compare me like this?
My rivals will surely lose
I admit I am not capable
Only as strong as my love for you

I hope you understand
In this heart, there is only you
I hope you understand
In this heart, there is only you
