Overview

Widely known as the Pearl of the Orient, Penang is one of Asia's most famous islands. Its natural beauty and exotic heritage have been attracting curious visitors for centuries. It's a place of mysterious temples and palm-shrouded beaches, while literary giant Somerset Maugham is known to have stayed on the island and spun tales about the romance of the white planter in South-East Asia.

Manufactures of sophisticated electronic goods compete for space with wet markets and old temples. Penang is the only Chinese-majority state in Malaysia.

Tiba-tiba Engkau Ada

Kemudian Engkau Hadir

Laksana Kerdil Ku Memalu
Lihat Aku Lebih Dalam

Di Matamu Ku Melihat Ada Cinta Yang Tersirat
Tirani Hati Merebak

Barangkali Aku Salah
Ku Terdiam Bukan Bisu

Ku Tahu Engkau Besar Malu
Tutupi Rasa Gelisah

Biar Saja Waktu Nanti Yang Menikmati Kisah Ini
Bersamamu Aku Senang

Belum Jugakah Kau Menyadarinya
Akulah Yang Pantas Untuk Kau Cintai

Dibawah langit Biru Aku Bersumpah
Diriku Tanpamu "Apa Artinya CINTA???"

CINTA Ini Sudah Menelan Waktuku
Siang Malam Hanya Untuk Pikirkan Engkau

Sejuta Kali Aku Berani Bersumpah
Diriku Tanpamu "Apa Artinya CINTA???"

DEALOVA

Aku ingin menjadi mimpi indah dalam tidurmu
aku ingin menjadi sesuatu yg mungkin bisa kau rindu
karena langkah merapuh tanpa dirimu
oh karena hati tlah letih

Aku ingin menjadi sesuatu yg selalu bisa kau sentuh
aku ingin kau tahu bahwa ku selalu memujamu
tanpamu sepinya waktu merantai hati
oh bayangmu seakan-akan

Reff: kau seperti nyanyian dalam hatiku
yg memanggil rinduku padamu
seperti udara yg kuhela kau selalu ada

Hanya dirimu yg bisa membuatku tenang
tanpa dirimu aku merasa hilang dan sepi, dan sepi

Repeat reff [2x]

Selalu ada, kau selalu ada
Selalu ada, kau selalu ada
