JKT48 - Dekat Namun Jauh
TEGASONG - “Dekat Namun Jauh” (Near Yet Far) is a tender and aching JKT48 ballad about unrequited love. The protagonist stands physically close to the one they adore, yet feels an unreachable emotional distance — invisible, unheard, and trapped in a silence that only the heart knows.
Indonesian Lyrics
“Bukan maksudku seperti itu”
Kuyakin itu hanyalah dalihmu
Tiup angin yang berhembus
Melewati ruang-ruang hatiku
“Sedikitpun kau tidak berubah”
Kuingin untuk mempercayainya
Dengan handphone dalam tanganku
Kuhabiskan seluruh waktuku
Apapun itu yang ingin kubicarakan
Berkurang dengan perlahan-lahan
Namun tetap saja, ketika bersama
Selalu dapat kutemukan kebahagiaan
Sesungguhnya sangatlah dekat, namun terasa berjauhan
Ada sesuatu kau dan aku yang tak terlihat
Meski kuulurkan tanganku, tetap tak dapat meraihmu
Kehangatan pun trasa jauh dan sangat fana
Bagaimanakah baiknya? Apakah perlu berpisah?
Jawaban apapun aku ‘tak inginkannya
Haruskah aku katakan? Apakah selamat tinggal?
Daripada makin terpisah jarak kita
Lebih baik ada pertengkaran
Tuk buat kita saling memahami
Mungkin karna trasa tak nyaman
Jadi kita pun menghindarinya
Jika saja hari-hari itu kembali
Tertawa ‘kan hal yang tak berarti
Bisakah beritau hal yang t’lah berubah
Dari kenangan foto berdua yang telah lama
Bagaimanapun tetap cinta, bagaimanapun inginkannya
Suatu saat keseimbangan akan memudar
Bukan maksudku tuk bersandar, hingga bebanmu t’rasa berat
Tak bolehkah ‘ku sedikit ingin perhatianmu
Apakah yang kau mau? Maukah cinta terputus?
Alasan apapun aku tak inginkannya
Dirikukah awalnya? Dirikukah sebabnya?
Jika tidak lagi dapat saling mencinta
Ku tak memahami keberadaan kita
Mungkin nanti saat ‘ku dewasa
Masih bisakah kita mengabaikan saja
Berpura-pura seperti biasa tetap bersama
English Translation
“That’s not what I meant”
I’m sure it’s just your excuse
The wind blows
Passing through the chambers of my heart
“You haven’t changed at all”
I want to believe it
With my phone in my hand
I spend all my time
Whatever it is I want to talk about
Slowly fades away
And yet, when we are together
I can always find happiness
In truth we are so near, yet it feels so far
There is something between you and me that can’t be seen
Even when I reach out my hand, I still can’t touch you
The warmth feels distant and so fleeting
What should I do? Do we need to part?
Whatever the answer, I don’t want it
Should I say it? Is it goodbye?
Rather than letting our distance grow even more
It’s better to have a fight
So we can understand each other
Maybe because it feels uncomfortable
We end up avoiding it
If only those days could come back
Laughing over meaningless things
Could you tell me what has changed
From the memories of that old photo of the two of us
No matter what, I still love, no matter what, I still want
Someday the balance will fade
I don’t mean to lean on you, until my burden feels heavy to you
Is it wrong for me to want a little of your attention?
What is it that you want? Do you want this love to end?
Whatever the reason, I don’t want it
Was it me from the start? Was I the cause?
If we can no longer love each other
I don’t understand what we are
Maybe someday when I’ve grown up
Will we still be able to just ignore it
Pretending as usual, staying together
