Wahai kawanku tercinta
Keringkanlah air matamu
Jangan lagi kau tangisi lagi hidupmu
Karna hidupmu masih kan berarti

Kepalkan lagi tangan mu
Leburkan pedih hatimu
Kuatkan langkah kakimu, kawanku
Untuk menapak hari depan nanti

Uluran tangan ku ini
Tak tertandingkan oleh hancurnya hatimu
Saat dia meninggakan dirimu

Tak pernah semudah bicara
Takkan semudah ku berkata
Namun percayalah bahwa esok hari
Semua kan berganti lebih baik

Uluran tangan ku ini
Tak tertandingkan oleh hancurnya hatimu
Saat dia meninggalkan dirimu
Saat dia meninggalkan dirimu

Oooo

Uluran tangan ku ini
Tak tertandingkan oleh hancurnya hatimu
Uluran tangan ku ini
Tak tertandingkan oleh pilunya jiwamu
Saat dia meninggalkan dirimu
Saat dia meninggalkan dirimu

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.”
