When I am down and oh my soul so weary(Saat kuterjatuh dan jiwaku begitu rapuh)

condition that really hard.

.

When troubles come and my heart burdened be(Saat datang masalah dan hatikupun kalut)

NOTE: We know that heart is a part of body

and the singer get burden not only their heart but also all body feel it.

.

Then I am still and wait here in the silenceMaka kuterdiam dan menanti di sini dalam sepi

Until you come and sit awhile with meHingga kau datang menemani

Note : when we get a failure and felt down, we can’t

act anythings .because our brain can’t active immadetly. Then the someone comes.
