To Nidji

Dear Nidji,

I know you guys are relatively good English speaking people compared to a lot of us. But I'm not sure if you master Bahasa Indonesia as well. So please let me suggest a correction to your lyrics a little bit:

The translation of falling in love with you to Bahasa Indonesia is not jatuh cinta bersama dirimu - as in your song. It should be jatuh cinta kepada dirimu. Remember to keep your sense working when writing lyrics. Languages should not be translated purely word by word.

Than again, I could be wrong when interpreting your britpop oriented songs?
