Indonesian Lyrics
Mungkinkah, mungkinkah
Mungkinkah kau mampir hari ini?
Bila tidak mirip kau
Jadilah bunga matahari
Yang tiba-tiba mekar di taman
Meski bicara dengan bahasa tumbuhan
Ceritakan padaku
Bagaimana tempat tinggalmu yang baru
Adakah sungai-sungai itu benar-benar
Dilintasi dengan air susu?
Juga badanmu tak sakit-sakit lagi
Kau dan orang-orang di sana muda lagi
Semua pertanyaan, temukan jawaban
Hati yang gembira, sering kau tertawa
Benarkah orang bilang
Ia memang suka bercanda?
Mungkinkah, mungkinkah
Mungkinkah kau mampir hari ini?
Bila tidak mirip kau
Jadilah bunga matahari
Yang tiba-tiba mekar di taman
Meski bicara dengan bahasa tumbuhan
'Kan kuceritakan padamu
Bagaimana hidupku tanpamu
Kangennya masih ada di setiap waktu
Kadang aku menangis bila aku perlu
Tapi aku sekarang sudah lebih lucu
Jadilah menyenangkan s'perti katamu
Jalani hidup dengan penuh sukacita
Dan percaya kau ada di hatiku s'lamanya, oh-oh
Mungkinkah, mungkinkah
Mungkinkah kau mampir hari ini?
Bila tidak mirip kau
Jadilah bunga matahari
Mungkinkah, mungkinkah
Mungkinkah kau mampir hari ini?
Bila tidak sekarang
Janji kita pasti 'kan bertemu lagi
English Translation
Is it possible, is it possible
Is it possible you drop by today?
If you don’t look like yourself
Become a sunflower
That suddenly blooms in the garden
Even if you speak in the language of plants
Tell me
How is your new home?
Are the rivers there really
Flowing with milk?
And your body doesn’t ache anymore
You and the people there are young again
Every question finds its answer
A joyful heart, you laugh often
Is it true what people say
That you really love to joke?
Is it possible, is it possible
Is it possible you drop by today?
If you don’t look like yourself
Become a sunflower
That suddenly blooms in the garden
Even if you speak in the language of plants
I’ll tell you
How life is without you
The longing is still there all the time
Sometimes I cry when I need to
But now I’ve become funnier
Become pleasant, just like you said
Live life full of joy
And believe you’re in my heart forever, oh-oh
Is it possible, is it possible
Is it possible you drop by today?
If you don’t look like yourself
Become a sunflower
Is it possible, is it possible
Is it possible you drop by today?
If not now
Our promise — we will surely meet again
