[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Dari jauh lubuk hatiku
Jiwaku resah mencari tahu
Apa yang sedang kurasakan kini
Terguncang aku mengingat engkau

[Chorus]
Seandainya aku masih bisa memilih
Akan kupilih engkau sebagai kekasih sejatiku
Betapa semua harapan hanya untukmu
Akan kupahat namamu dalam pusara hatiku

[Verse 2]
Kaulah rahasia terbesar hidupku
Yang takkan mungkin aku ungkapkan
Kusimpan erat perasaanku
Meski ajal menanti

[Chorus]
Seandainya aku masih bisa memilih
Akan kupilih engkau sebagai kekasih sejatiku
Betapa semua harapan hanya untukmu
Akan kupahat namamu dalam pusara hatiku

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Seandainya aku masih bisa memilih
Akan kupilih engkau sebagai kekasih sejatiku
Betapa semua harapan hanya untukmu
Akan kupahat namamu dalam pusara hatiku

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.”
