Turun dari puncak kehidupan Menggema gemuruh menyapaku Aku rindu suaramu... Aku rindu senandungmu

Aliran yang membawa nafas kedamaian Namun nyanyianmu menjadi elegi Jangan menangis dan gusar Aku akan menghiburmu.. mencintaimu

Datanglah karena aku menunggumu Kuingin kau hadir dengan gelombangmu Teruslah mengalir dan mengalir

Mengalir membawa cinta
