All my bags are packed And the day has just begun Eighteen isles away from the land Were just supposed to be my birth land For a moment a was in doubt Shall I go or shall I stay? Is it the distance that makes me cold? Or maybe the reaction to meet? JAKARTA.... You appears in all my dreams Ever since you called my name I wonder.. No this might be a dream I don't dare to believe altough I've met you in stories And you seem so unreachable Something imposible But no longer untouchable Ever since my fantasy became reality And now it's more than just a memory And my hunger for your beauty Will never fade away A charm that chant through ages A land with all traditions I admire your immortal legends You really are the good Ol' made of emeralds Some buildings from the past that seems they're last They do not faded all in this land They're all day dreamin' in the sun about their long forgotten glory I feel that I have never been away from here My love for you is growing day by day JAKARTA nights are sultry and warm but friendly as the morning dew and your residence are so cool and gentle like everybody should be I miss the streets and the endless trafic jam and nightclubs that hide beneath the giants Sure I miss those Islands The Thousand Islands Mmmmhhhmmm..... When... I close my eyes I can hear the shore that shock the waves a paradise for every lover And I'm sure when I'm back again The waves will dance again And I will sing again 'till we meet again...
