Lyrics
INTRO (Instrumental)
(Petikan gitar flamenco, palmas perlahan, oud & string sinematik masuk perlahan)
VERSE 1 – Lelaki (Melayu)
Dalam senyap malam yang panjang
Langkahku terhenti di bayang kenangan
Namamu masih di setiap doa
Walau takdir memisahkan kita
VERSE 2 – Wanita (Arabic)
في ليالي الشوق أبكي سِرًّا
والقلبُ يسأل: أينَ الوِصال؟
كنتَ وطنًا في عينيَّ
واليومَ صرتَ حلمًا مُحال
(Fi layāli ash-shawqi abkī sirran
Wal-qalbu yas’alu: ayna al-wisāl
Kunta waṭanan fī ‘aynayya
Wal-yawma ṣirta ḥulman muḥāl)
PRE-CHORUS – Duet (Melayu + Arabic)
Lelaki (Melayu):
Andai masa berpihak pada cinta
Takkan aku lepaskan tanganmu
Wanita (Arabic):
لو عادَ الزمانُ إلينا
لما تركتُ يدكَ أبدًا
(Law ‘āda az-zamān ilaynā
Lamā taraktu yadaka abadan)
CHORUS – Duet Besar (Melayu + Arabic)
Bersama:
Cinta ini terukir di jiwa
Walau terpisah dunia dan masa
حبُّنا نارٌ لا تنطفئ
مهما ابتعدنا… يبقى الأثر
(Ḥubbunā nārun lā tanṭafi’
Mahmā ibta‘adnā… yabqā al-athar)
VERSE 3 – Lelaki (Arabic)
مشيتُ وحدي بينَ الذكريات
أحملُ ذنبَ الوعودِ الكسيرة
سامحيني إن خذلتُ الحلم
فالقلبُ كان أسيرَ الحيرة
(Mashaytu waḥdī bayna adh-dhikrayāt
Aḥmilu dhanba al-wu‘ūd al-kasīrah
Sāmiḥīnī in khadhalttu al-ḥulm
Fal-qalbu kāna asīra al-ḥayrah)
VERSE 4 – Wanita (Melayu)
Aku simpan luka dengan senyuman
Bukan kerana aku tak setia
Tapi cinta kadang mengajar kita
Merelakan tanpa benci di dada
BRIDGE (Andalus Feel – Perlahan & Dramatic)
Wanita (Arabic – berbisik):
يا حبًّا عبرَ العصور
ابقَ في قلبي نورًا
Lelaki (Melayu):
Jika ini akhirnya cerita
Biarlah cinta kita jadi legenda
FINAL CHORUS – Duet Epik
Cinta ini tak pernah mati
Hanya terdiam di lorong takdir
حبُّنا خُلِدَ في السماء
قصةُ عشقٍ بلا مصير
(Ḥubbunā khullida fī as-samā’
Qiṣṣatu ‘ishqin bilā maṣīr)
OUTRO (Arabic + Melayu – Perlahan)
Wanita:
وداعًا… ولكن بلا نسيان
Lelaki:
Selamat tinggal… tapi bukan melupakan
(Instrumen tamat dengan gitar flamenco & string panjang)
