Original Celengan Rindu Lyrics by Fiersa Besari

Verse 1

Aku kesal dengan jarak yang sering memisahkan kita
Hingga aku hanya bisa berbincang denganmu di Whatsapp
Aku kesal dengan waktu yang tak pernah berhenti bergerak
Barang sejenak agar aku bisa menikmati tawamu

Pre-Chorus

Inginku berdiri di sebelahmu menggenggam erat jari-jarimu
Mendengarkan lagu Sheila on 7 seperti waktu itu
Saat kau di sisiku

Chorus

Dan tunggulah aku di sana memecahkan celengan rinduku
Berboncengan denganmu mengelilingi kota
Menikmati surya perlahan menghilang
Hingga kejamnya waktu menarik paksa kau dari pelukku
Lalu kita kembali menabung rasa rindu
Saling mengirim doa, sampai nanti, Sayangku

Verse 2

Jangan matikan HP-mu
Kau tahu aku benci khawatir
Saat kau tak mengabari
Aku tak suka bertanya-tanya

Pre-Chorus

Ingin kubakar dia yang sering mention-mention-an denganmu di Twitter
Namun kau selalu meyakinkanku ‘tuk tumbuhkan percaya
Bukan rasa curiga

Chorus

Dan tunggulah aku di sana memecahkan celengan rinduku
Berboncengan denganmu mengelilingi kota
Menikmati surya perlahan menghilang
Hingga kejamnya waktu menarik paksa kau dari pelukku
Lalu kita kembali menabung rasa rindu
Saling mengirim doa, sampai nanti, Sayangku

Outro

Hingga kita bertemu

English Translation Piggy Bank of Longing Lyrics by Fiersa Besari

Verse 1

I’m annoyed with the distance that often separates us
Until I can only chat with you on Whatsapp
I’m annoyed with time that never stops moving
Just for a moment so I can enjoy your laughter

Pre-Chorus

I want to stand next to you Holding your fingers tightly
Listening to Sheila on 7’s song like that time
When you were by my side

Chorus

And wait for me there breaking my piggy bank of longing
Riding around the city with you
Enjoying the sun slowly disappearing
Until the cruelty of time forcibly pulls you from my embrace
Then we save up our longing again
Sending prayers to each other, until later, my darling

Verse 2

Don’t turn off your cellphone
You know I hate worrying
When you don’t contact me
I don’t like wondering

Pre-Chorus

I want to burn him who often mentions you on Twitter
But you always convince me to grow trust
Not suspicion

Chorus

And wait for me there, breaking my piggy bank of longing
Riding around the city with you
Enjoying the sun slowly disappearing
Until the cruelty of time forcibly pulls you from my embrace
Then we save up our longing again
Sending prayers to each other, until later, my darling

Outro

Until we meet
