Song Lyrics in Indonesian

Kekasihku, t'lah lama kucari bayang dirimu Tak tahan hatiku menyimpan rinduku di kalbu

Kekasihku, andai kau tahu kata hatiku Maafkan salahku saat-saat itu padamu

Biar diriku saja menjawab semua cinta Atau datang kembali di hatimu Entah sedalam apa cinta suci di dada? Biarkan kujawab semua dusta

Januari, Januari yang biru Asmaramu, asmaraku membisu Entah kapan, entah kapan hadir di hati? Saat-saat yang indah di diriku

Kekasihku andai kau tahu kata hatiku Maafkan salahku saat-saat itu padamu

Biar diriku saja menjawab semua cinta Atau datang kembali di hatimu Entah sedalam apa cinta suci di dada? Biarkan kujawab semua dusta

Januari, Januari yang biru Asmaramu, asmaraku membisu Entah kapan, entah kapan hadir di hati? Saat-saat yang indah di diriku Januari, Januari yang biru Asmaramu, asmaraku membisu

Entah kapan, entah kapan hadir di hati? Saat-saat yang indah di diriku

Januari, Januari yang biru Asmaramu, asmaraku membis Entah kapan, entah kapan hadir di hati?
