Cerita lalu seakan nyata
Larut kita didalam rasa
Mengalir terbawa jangan teruskan

Kita yang pernah mengukir cinta
Berbayang masa saat bersama
Hanyutkan kita coba hentikan

Reff
Sudahlah...aku pergi
Sudahlah...aku pergi

Lelahkan jiwa meski berharap
Rasakan lagi cinta kita dulu
Tapi ah..ah..kita terpisahkan

Derasnya sisi religi
Mengasah alur hidup kita
Jangan sesali
Coba kuatkan hati..oh
Aku pergi

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.”
