[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Bila cinta menggugah rasa
Begitu indah mengukir hatiku
Menyentuh jiwaku
Hapuskan semua gelisah

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Duhai cintaku duhai pujaanku
Datang padaku tetap di sampingku
Kuingin hidupku
Selalu dalam peluknya

[Chorus]
Terang saja aku menantinya
Terang saja aku mendambanya
Terang saja aku merindunya
Karena dia karena dia begitu indah

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Duhai cintaku pujaan hatiku
Peluk diriku dekaplah jiwaku
Bawa ragaku
Melayang memeluk bintang

[Chorus]
Terang saja aku menantinya
Terang saja aku mendambanya
Terang saja aku merindunya
Karena dia karena dia begitu indah

[Instrumental]
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na

[Chorus]
Terang saja aku menantinya
Terang saja aku mendambanya
Terang saja aku merindunya
Karena dia karena dia begitu indah
Begitu indah
Begitu indah
Begitu indah

[Outro]
Ooooh ooooh
Ooooh ooooh
Ooooh ooooh
Ooooh ooooh
Ooooh ooooh
Ooooh ooooh

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.”
