[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Bagai serpih-serpih pasir di pantai
Tersapu gelombang pasang
Meski harus hilang terpecah karang
Meninggalkan kenangan abadi

[Verse 2]
Ada tersimpan rasa perih mendera
Mengingat engkau di saat itu
Masih tentang cerita engkau dan dia
Yang tak pernah terukir indah

[Chorus]
Kau bawa aku renungi apa yang terjadi
Kau bawa aku resapi semua tangismu itu
Memelukmu kuingin
Menyentuhmu kuingin
Dan mengucapkan sepatah kata

[Verse 3]
Namun air mata mesti tercurah
Memandu cerita itu
Jiwamu tak mampu menahan semua
Ketidakberdayaan ini

[Chorus]
Kau patahkan semua cerita hidupmu
Kau remukkan harapan yang tumbuh di hati
Memelukmu kuingin
Menyentuhmu kuingin
Dan mengucapkan sepatah kata

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
Bagai serpih-serpih pasir di pantai
Tersapu gelombang pasang

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.”
