Aroma wangi surgawi
Sirami jiwaku ini
Bagai bunga yang terindah
Merekah dan tetap suci

Seribu wajah yang terlintas
Hanya satu yang ada di hati
Janjikan ketulusan cinta
Abadi selamanya

Kuyakin dan pasti kau ada dibenakku
Ku takkan berhenti menunggumu
Oh...

Reff
Bidadari... Hadirlah malam ini
Dalam mimpiku
Bidadari... Senyumlah kau kini
Sambutlah rinduku

Sepenggal bulan kan kembali
Menjadi purnama yang terang
Seterang hati dan jiwamu
Oh... Bidadariku

Mungkinkah aku bisa menyapamu
Meraih semua imajimu
Bercanda bercinta bersamamu
Oh...

Bidadari... Hangatkan jiwaku
Bersama cintamu
Bidadari... Sadarkan ragaku
Selamatkan aku

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.”
