In the sand
I can see my footprints left behind
Parangtritis waves calling in rhyme
For the longest time
life has been a struggle in the past
Now it’s time to free my soul at last
Between waves chasing each other to the shore
The sound of Gamelan enticing even more
This calm I’ve been waiting for
Letting myself fly
I see all these people passing by
bicycles are everywhere I go
Smiles so beautiful
friendly faces greeting me so nice
My heart’s found its home in paradise
Watch that lady
dancing gracefully
She brings to life the legend of Tamansari
How softly and sweetly
tradition’s calling me
Oh please let me stay
time don’t pass away
I treasure your beauty
day to day
Here peace I can find
leave troubles behind
just this city in my mind
A place that’s so real
and yet makes me feel
like being in heaven up above
Pure white like a dove
a passion deep in my heart
A never ending love:
Jogjakarta
Hoo~ woo~
Deep within my heart will never be apart
Javanese romance enchanting like a dance
Oh.. so innocently tradition’s calling me
~-~
Oh please let me stay
time don’t pass away
I treasure your beauty day to day
Here peace I can find
leave troubles behind
just this city in my mind
A place that’s so real
and yet makes me feel
like being in heaven up above
Pure white like a dove
a passion deep in my heart
A never ending love:
Jogjakarta
