Saat gelisah menyapa

Bertabur duka nestapa

Ku hanya bisa memejamkan mata,

Mengucap sebuah doa

Saat ku disapa sepi

Tanpa hadirmu di sini

Sejenak berdiam dalam gelita,

Mendamba senyumanmu.

Ijinkanku sampaikan rinduku lewat angin malam untukmu.

Doaku kau s’lalu bahagia.

Badai kan berlalu,

Kita ‘kan kembali satu.

Badai kan berlalu,

Kita ‘kan bersatu,

Tak lagi terpisah jarak Saat kita mencinta…

Recorded by Quaver Vocal Ensemble
Prajna Indrawati, piano
