#LYRICS ISA-BELLA

Isabella adalah kisah cinta dua dunia
Mengapa kita berjumpa, namun akhirnya terpisah?
Siang jadi hilang ditelan kegelapan malam
Alam yang terpisah melenyapkan sebuah kisah, oh-hoo
Sya-la-la-la-la-la-la, woo-wo-ho, woo-ho
Terbayang lambaiannya salju terbakar kehangatan
Dunia dipenuhi warna berseri bunga cinta
Kita yang terlena hingga musim berubah
Mentari menyepi menyalalah api cinta
Dia Isabella, lambang cinta yang telah lara
Terpisah karena adat yang berbeda
Cinta gugur bersama daun-daun kekeringan
Begitu pahit keadaan ini
Semuanya harus aku terima
Apapun yang terjadi
Hoo-woo
Hu-hu-hu-hu, hu-hu-hu
Dia Isabella, lambang cinta yang telah lara
Terpisah karena adat yang berbeda
Cinta gugur bersama daun-daun kekeringan
Dia Isabella, lambang cinta yang telah lara
Terpisah karena adat yang berbeda
Cinta gugur bersama daun-daun kekeringan
