Bamboo rustles in the evening breeze
Rice fields empty, heart on knees
You walked away through morning mist
Left me here with what I missed
Batik patterns on your dress
Fade like all our tenderness
Rindu... rindu jawa
My heart breaks in two
Rindu... rindu jawa
Nothing left of me and you
Ohhh... ohhh...
Temple bells ring out my pain
Monsoon tears like summer rain
Warung closed where we would meet
Empty chair beside my feet
Jasmine scent still haunts the air
Where you used to braid your hair
Rindu... rindu jawa
My heart breaks in two
Rindu... rindu jawa
Nothing left of me and you
Ohhh... ohhh...
Wayang shadows dance alone
Stories of a love I've known
Gamelan plays our lullaby
While I sit here wondering why
Just the rain...
Just the pain...
Just my voice calling your name
Ahhh... ahhh...
Rindu... rindu jawa
My heart breaks in two
Rindu... rindu jawa
Nothing left of me and you
Bamboo rustles in the night
You're gone with morning light
Rindu... rindu...
(Mmm... mmm...)
