Adin Pasu Apa Lyrics by Shirly Waijayantha

After today, we will not meet again,
sighing, the heart trembles,
so now, with your leave, to part and go,
forever the memory stays in the heart

After today, we will not meet again

In a world not meant for us,
love’s feelings come, and are put out,
to grow distant, walls built up between us,
we do not go of one single heart

After today, we will not meet again

Teardrops wet both cheeks,
sobbing, the heart trembles,
love was felt, coming from you,
and, as if unfelt, I pined away

After today, we will not meet again

A quiet, dignified song of final parting. After today, we will not meet again, the singer says, and with that the heart trembles and sighs. He asks leave to go, and takes with him the one thing that remains, forever the memory stays in the heart. It is farewell said gently, without bitterness.

The middle names why. Theirs was a world not meant for us, where love’s feelings kept arising only to be put out; walls built up between them force them apart. And the tender clarification, we do not go of one single heart, they are separating, but not because either wanted to. Circumstance, not the heart, is ending it.

The close is the grief held back. Teardrops wet both cheeks, the heart sobs and trembles; and the sharpest line, love was felt, coming from you, and, as if unfelt, I pined away. He sensed her love but had to act as though he had not, aching in silence. Sung by Shirly Waijayantha, it is a tender, sorrowful song about a forced final parting between two who still love each other, and the memory each will carry away.
