MAAFKAN AKU - Tiara Andini [English Cover]

One of the things I love about Indonesian ballads is their timeless quality. I hear all the sounds of the great bands and producers of the 80's and early 90's echoed in the arrangements. This song is like a musical showcase in the style of David Foster, Peter Cetera and others. I'm so glad people are still writing songs like this.
Thanks to Bram Manusama for giving us the literal Indonesian to English translation from which we then crafted this English interpretation. I think we captured the soul of the song.
I hope you like my version.

Lyrics
Chorus 1
Even though we're always together
We're just friends
But my heart won't believe it.
So why must I pretend?
I know that it’s crazy I should ever feel this way
What if ours is a gift from up above?
Oh forgive me, but
I'm already in love
Verse
The thrill of your smile
Only delays the pain... I feel
To think of life without you
If in the end it's true
That she's the one for you
Please tell me
Why are you here with me?
You make everything so beautiful
How could I ever let you go?
Chorus 2
Even though we're always together
we're just friends
But my heart won't believe it.
So why must I pretend?
I know that it’s crazy I should ever feel this way
What if ours is a gift from up above?
Oh forgive me, but
I'm already in love
Bridge
If there is a chance
You could feel the way I do
Is it wrong for me to hope
That maybe I could spend my life with you,
in love
Chorus 3
Oh my heart won't believe it.
So why must I pretend?
I know that it’s crazy I should ever feel this way
What if ours is a gift from up above?
Oh forgive me, but
I'm already in love
Last Chorus
Even though we're always together
we're just friends
In my heart I'm still hoping…
for something
I don’t want this love to end
I know that it’s crazy
I should ever feel this way
What if ours is a gift from up above?
Oh forgive me... but
I'm already in love
No I can’t forget…
I’m already in love

[@vanessapangkey8319]

Wow thank you for singing this song and for your compliments regarding Indonesian ballads. For your information, the composer of this song, Mr Yovie Widianto, is a well known and respected composer in Indonesia who has been writing songs since the 1980s and still actively writing until today. In this particular song arrangement for Tiara Andini, Yovie is using a classic 80-90s style that takes us back to David Foster days and others. And with a fresh new talent of Tiara who gives this song a millenial mix, it is sure to please music listeners everywhere.
