Hive Open Mic Week 183 - Jangan Katakan Selamat Tinggal (Original Song) by IndonesiaBersatu

Hello, dear Hive Open Mic brothers and sisters. Greetings and blessings to all of us. It is a pleasure to be back and participate again in the weekly #OpenMic event which has entered its 183rd week with the theme Hasta la Vista or Goodbye. This theme was chosen by our lovely spotlight artist @glowie. If Goodbye is this week's theme, then it refers to a separation. People can feel a range of feelings and emotions when experiencing a separation with someone very close, such as a friend, boyfriend or girlfriend. These feelings can vary greatly depending on the individual and the situation. One can feel sadness, loss, and loneliness.

If you have found a fun friend and you get along well with them, then I suggest you don't say "goodbye" when you leave to go home or it's late at night. Instead, say see you later. Because saying "see you later" can be a more positive and pleasant option. The word "goodbye" has a more permanent feel and may feel more profound in the context of a separation. Meanwhile, "see you later" carries the hope of meeting again in the future, which can help create positive feelings and maintain a good relationship or memory.

Using the words "see you later" can also provide a sense of comfort and warmth, especially if the separation is not entirely desirable, such as when friends or partners have to part ways for certain reasons, for example, due to geographical distance or temporary departure. That's why I wrote a song called "Don't Say Goodbye". In this music video, my guitarist and I play an acoustic version of the song.

Below are the lyrics and translation;

Indonesian Lyric

Jangan pernah katakan selamat tinggal
Pada cahaya senja yang perlahan memudar
Biarlah kita terus tetap bersama
Dalam detik-detik yang tak terhitung

Kita akan menari di tepi mimpi
Menangkap bintang jatuh di malam yang sepi
Mengisi hati kita dengan cerita kita
Yang hanya kita berdua yang tahu

Kita takkan berpisah
Kita pasti kan bersama
Kita takkan berpisah
Kita kan terus bersama

Kita berlayar melintasi samudra biru
Menuju tempat yang tak terbatas
Di bawah langit yang penuh dengan bintang
Kita tahu ini awal yang abadi

Tolong jangan katakan selamat tinggal
Kita hanya mengucapkan sampai jumpa
Karena dalam hati kita akan selalu bersama
Di dalam kenangan yang tak terlupakan

English Lyric

Never say goodbye
To the slowly fading twilight
Let us continue to stay together
In the countless seconds

We'll dance on the edge of dreams
Catching shooting stars in the lonely night
Filling our hearts with our stories
Which only the two of us know

We won't separate
We will definitely be together
We won't separate
We will continue together

We sail across the blue ocean
Heading for the infinite
Under a sky full of stars
We know this is the beginning of the end

Please don't say goodbye
We'll just say goodbye
Because in our hearts we will always be together
In unforgettable memories

The song I wrote describes a relationship full of love and longing. The lyrics talk about the determination to maintain a relationship despite the trials and separations faced. The message in this song is a strong belief that friendship will stay together, even when things seem difficult. If told about a pair of best friends, both want to make every moment together something precious and hope for a bright future together. In essence, this song expresses the feeling of eternity in memories and the hope of meeting again in the future. Thank you for watching and listening to the music video we played. Greetings and blessings to us all.
