Reading translation
This world is only borrowed, dear
Coming and going like the evening breeze
Whatever we hold so tightly
Sooner or later it all is gone
If the heart wants peace, do not fret
This life is not ours to own
Smile a little, simply watch
Ups and downs are ordinary
Father, do not hold so tightly
Father, your heart may hurt
Father, just let go
Slowly, let love take shape
If it is said that everything is empty
It is not that nothing exists, only that it does not last
The heart feels affection
Do not grip until it hurts
Let go, just let go
Let what comes also leave
Let go, just let go
The heart grows quiet too
Let go, just let go
There is no need to catch everything
Let go, just let go
None of this is ours to own
People come and people go
Life’s story turns again
Sweet days and bitter days
All pass, none stays here
We thought this was forever
It turns out to be only a little while
What is this “I” and “mine”?
An old story in the mind
Oh, why worry?
Oh, it all passes
Oh, simply watch
Coming and going as before
If it is said that everything is empty
It is not that nothing exists, only that it does not last
The heart feels affection
Do not grip until it hurts
Let go, just let go
Let what comes also leave
Let go, just let go
The heart grows quiet too
Let go, just let go
There is no need to catch everything
Let go, just let go
None of this is ours to own
Impermanent, all of this
Not I, not mine
Simply coming, simply going
Do not be afraid, do not worry
Let go, just let go
A tender heart becomes peaceful
If it is said that everything is empty
It is not that nothing exists, only that it does not last
The heart feels affection
Do not grip until it hurts
Let go, just let go
Let what comes also leave
Let go, just let go
The heart grows quiet too
Let go, just let go
There is no need to catch everything
Let go, just let go
None of this is ours to own
If it is said that everything is empty
Once quiet, things are not seen clearly
There is no need to hold so tightly
Let it all be released
Let go, just let go
Let what comes also leave
Let go, just let go
The heart grows quiet too
Let go; a little smile is enough
Let go, just let go
Life feels lighter now
Original lyrics
Dunia ini pinjam saja sayang
Datang pergi macam angin petang
Apa kita pegang kuat-kuat
Esok lusa semua pun hilang
Hati mau tenang jangan susah
Ini hidup bukan kita punya
Senyum sikit tengok saja
Naik turun semua biasa
Ayah, jangan pegang kuat
Ayah, nanti sakit hati
Ayah, lepas sajalah
Pelan-pelan kasih jadi
Kalau dikata semua kosong
Bukan tak ada cuma tak lama
Hati ada rasa sayang
Jangan genggam sampai luka
Lepas saja, lepas saja
Apa datang biar pergi
Lepas saja, lepas saja
Hati pun jadi sunyi
Lepas saja, lepas saja
Tak payah tangkap semua
Lepas saja, lepas saja
Ini semua bukan kita punya
Orang datang orang pun pergi
Cerita hidup pusing lagi
Hari manis hari pahit
Semua lalu tak stay sini
Kita ingat ini selamanya
Rupa-rupa cuma sekejap saja
Apa itu aku dan punya
Cerita lama dalam kepala
Aduh, kenapa mau risau
Aduh, semua pun lalu
Aduh, tengok saja
Datang pergi macam dulu
Kalau dikata semua kosong
Bukan tak ada cuma tak lama
Hati ada rasa sayang
Jangan genggam sampai luka
Lepas saja, lepas saja
Apa datang biar pergi
Lepas saja, lepas saja
Hati pun jadi sunyi
Lepas saja, lepas saja
Tak payah tangkap semua
Lepas saja, lepas saja
Ini semua bukan kita punya
Tak kekal, ini semua
Bukan aku bukan punya
Datang saja pergi saja
Jangan takut jangan risau
Lepas saja lepas saja
Hati manis jadi damai
Kalau dikata semua kosong
Bukan tak ada cuma tak lama
Hati ada rasa sayang
Jangan genggam sampai luka
Lepas saja, lepas saja
Apa datang biar pergi
Lepas saja, lepas saja
Hati pun jadi sunyi
Lepas saja, lepas saja
Tak payah tangkap semua
Lepas saja, lepas saja
Ini semua bukan kita punya
Kalau dikata semua kosong
Sekali sunyi tak nampak jelas
Tak payah pegang kuat-kuat
Biar semua kan lepas
Lepas saja, lepas saja
Apa datang biar pergi
Lepas saja, lepas saja
Hati pun jadi sunyi
Lepas saja, senyum sikit cukup lah
Lepas saja, lepas saja
Hidup ini ringan sudah
