[Verse 1]
Ku ingin hembuskan
Gelisah di dada dengan napasku
Balon yang bulat
Kulepaskan dari tanganku

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Semakin tinggi rahasia
Terbang di langit biru
Ditiup angin entah ke mana

[Chorus 1]
Cinta
Bagaikan ekor malaikat yang nakal
Kabur dengan lembut tak tahu ke mana
Matahari yang kudambakan terlalu silau
Karenanya
Aku berpura-pura tidak suka
Dan aku pun menjadi bersikap dingin
Aku memandang dari kejauhan
Cinta tak berbalas hanya milikku

[Verse 2]
Jika kau sadar
Akan pandanganku pada dirimu
Jantungku pun
Berdegup kencang dan akan meledak

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Mengapa perasaanku
Jadi berat begini?
Ku ingin bertanya pada awan putih

[Chorus 2]
Cinta
Bagaikan ekor malaikat yang plin-plan
Gerak ke sana sini susah kutangkap
Tak akan bisa atasi pada pengalaman pertama
Suatu hari
Arah angin akan berubah
Hingga kebetulan kau lihat ke sini
Ku 'kan menunggu di tempat ini
Hingga keajaiban munculnya pelangi

[Interlude]

[Chorus 1]
Cinta
Bagaikan ekor malaikat yang nakal
Kabur dengan lembut tak tahu ke mana
Matahari yang kudambakan terlalu silau
Karenanya
Aku berpura-pura tidak suka
Dan aku pun menjadi bersikap dingin
Aku memandang dari kejauhan
Cinta tak berbalas hanya milikku

JKT48 is an Indonesian idol group whose name is derived from its based city of Jakarta and the Japanese idol group AKB48. Formed in 2011, it is the first AKB48 sister group outside Japan and adopts the concept of “idols you can meet”. Fans can attend daily performances at the group’s theater, which was built as a close replica to the AKB48 Theater in Akihabara.

Producer Yasushi Akimoto decided to bring the AKB48 concept to Indonesia because the group had begun to develop a fan base in the country. Indonesia’s growing economy was seen as a potential market by many Japanese companies, and Akimoto established a franchising partnership with Dentsu Media Group Indonesia to replicate the AKB48 business model. Dentsu Media Group Indonesia then cooperate with the country’s largest media conglomerate Global Mediacom (MNC Media), the southeast Asia’s largest and most integrated media group as JKT48 official media partner.

While JKT48 does not restrict membership by nationality, applicants must be residents of Indonesia. The group has 72 (as of June 2014) members and released its first studio album Heavy Rotation on 16 February 2013 via Hits Records, a division of MNC subsidiary PT Star Media Nusantara. It performs songs by AKB48 and other sister groups that are translated into Indonesian.
