[Verse 1]
Sobat, aku sungguh tak mengerti
Semua ini bisa terjadi
Setelah perkenalan itu
Aku terhanyut
Aku sebenar-benarnya tak kuasa
Mendambakannya
Merindukannya

[Verse 2]
Kutahu dia milikmu tercinta
Sebagai kembang yang kau pilih
Namun hatiku hatinya
Mengisyaratkan rasa
Ingin memetik, merangkai
Menjalinkan ikatan abadi
Mendambakannya
Merindukannya

[Chorus]
Oh sobat, maafkan aku mencintainya
Aku tak bermaksud membuatmu sungguh tak berarti
Oh sobat, maafkan aku mencintainya
Aku tak bermaksud membuatmu sungguh tak berarti

[Verse 3]
Mencoba menahannya himpitan rasa itu
Merajam keruhnya jiwaaku
Ternyata hidupku dan dirinya terikat rasa tulus
Takkan menyusutkan pelukku dan rindunya
Mendambakannya
Merindukannya

[Chorus]
Oh sobat, maafkan aku mencintainya
Aku tak bermaksud membuatmu sungguh tak berarti
Oh sobat, maafkan aku mencintainya
Aku tak bermaksud membuatmu sungguh tak berarti

Padi

Formed at Airlangga University in Indonesia, Padi (then known as Soda) performed their first show in 1996. The name change occurred a year later – it was meant to symbolize the band’s humility, as the word means rice, which is a symbol of modesty – and by 1999, the band had a deal and an album in stores. The deal, which was signed after a rep from Sony caught a performance at a pub, led to a successful appearance on a various-artists compilation.

The debut, Lain Dunia, was followed by Sesuatu Yang Tertunda in 2001. Selling nearly 500,000 copies, the band solidified its standing with the mega-hit single “Kasih Tak Sampai.” Their next album, Save My Soul, would be even bigger, hitting the half-a-million sales mark its first week after release. Padi released their fourth, self-titled, album in 2005.

There have also been a handful of compilation appearances for the group, including a 2002 World Cup album contribution, “Work of Heaven.”
