Antara Anyer Dan Jakarta
By
Sheila Majid
[English Version] [4th Dec. 2019]
Between Ankara And Jakarta
Verse 1.
Total strangers on a flight were we,
It had been fated, you seated next to me;
No time for movies or other things had we
Because all that mattered was you and me.
Verse 2.
We were like magnets drawn to each other,
Two ships colliding, missing a rudder;
Just like two lovers in their own world,
This young boy and this young girl.
Chorus:
Between Ankara and Jakarta
We had fallen in love,
Between Ankara and Jakarta;
Who would have thought a love could blossom
Up high above
Between Ankara and Jakarta.
Verse 3.
Two complete strangers on a flight were we
Where destiny brought us together;
Nothing else mattered other than you and me
On a flight that seemed to last forever.
[repeat chorus followed by instrumental followed
by chorus once more]
[finally]
Jakarta,
We madly fell in love,
We fell in love between Ankara and Jakarta.
