[Verse 1]
Menjelang musim panas di pantai (Di pantai)
Ombak yang menjatuhkan domino
Di atas papan berdiri dirimu (Dirimu)
Balik badan dan melompat

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Aku ditinggalkan di sini sendirian
Di pantai pasir putih

[Chorus 1]
Perasaan tidak enak, si putri duyung cinta
Padahal sudah lama tidak ke sini
Perasaan tidak enak, tapi tetap perhatikanku
Suara itu pun tak tersampaikan
Dasar sang matahari

[Verse 2]
Di dalam ombak yang bergulung (Yang bergulung)
Kau bungkukkan badan dan melewati
Dirimu adalah penyihir laut (Penyihir laut)
Ikan yang mendapat air

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Di sinar mentari kurentangkan tanganku
Dan berlari mengejar

[Chorus 2]
Tak sanggup lagi menunggu, kayuhan dari cintamu
Hanya hatiku mulai berenang
Tak sanggup lagi menunggu, ingin pergi ke dekatmu
Di atas pasir itu aku lemparkan
Celana jeans dan kemeja

[Interlude]

[Chorus 1]
Perasaan tidak enak, si putri duyung cinta
Padahal sudah lama tidak ke sini
Perasaan tidak enak, tapi tetap perhatikanku
Suara itu pun tak tersampaikan
Dasar sang matahari

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.
