Ku Miliki Bayangan Mu

Ramli Sarip's song "Ku Miliki Bayangan Mu" delves deep into the themes of longing, separation, and the emotional turmoil that accompanies unfulfilled love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with the pain of being apart from a loved one. The opening lines, "Sejauh mana dapat ku berlari, Sejauh mana dapat menghindari," suggest a futile attempt to escape the overwhelming sense of yearning. This sentiment is further emphasized by the imagery of waves and seagulls, which serve as constant reminders of the absent loved one, amplifying the protagonist's solitude and despair.

The chorus, "Kasih sayang tiada arti, Bila membakar diri sendiri," underscores the destructive nature of love when it becomes all-consuming. The lyrics question the value of affection and longing if they lead to self-destruction, highlighting the importance of mutual loyalty and commitment. The phrase "Apalah kerinduan, Andai tiada kesetiaan" poignantly captures the essence of the song, suggesting that longing is meaningless without fidelity.

In the final verses, the song touches on the inevitability of sacrifice and acceptance of fate. The lines "Di batas ini kita berdiri, Basah mata mu mengharu hati" evoke a poignant scene of parting, where tears and emotions run deep. The protagonist acknowledges the sacrifices made and the predetermined nature of their situation, encapsulated in the phrase "Ini pengorbanan, Ini ketentuan." Ultimately, the song reflects on the enduring presence of the loved one's memory, symbolized by the phrase "Apa yang kini miliki bayang mu," indicating that even in their absence, the loved one's shadow remains a constant companion.
