Somewhere Between
“Somewhere Between” is a famous old country song with numerous performances throughout the years. Merle Haggard wrote and made it famous through his own recordings. It alludes to the intricacies of love and sorrow. The lyrics depict a relationship in flux, torn between lingering affection and the impending separation.
A notable version by The Tumbleweeds, a Dutch country band, gave the song a new yet nostalgic air, combining European charm with the raw emotion of traditional country music. The song's timeless theme about the uncertainties of love has a universal appeal.
One Indonesian song “Hatimu Hatiku” is considered an adaptation version of “Somewhere
Between”. It is interesting to see how the lyrics maintain the same meanings
while they are not literally translated.
Here are the two songs.

I love you so much I can't let you go And sometimes I believe you love me But somewhere between your heart and mine There's a door without any key.
Somewhere
between your heart and mine There's a wall so high it reaches the sky Somewhere between me and you.
Somewhere between your heart and mine There's a love I can't understand Oh, it's there for a while then it fades like a smile And I'm left in the middle again.
Somewhere between your heart and mine There's a window that I can't see through There's a wall so high it reaches the sky Somewhere between me and you.
Somewhere between your heart and mine There's a window that I can't see through There's a wall so high it reaches the sky Somewhere between me and you Somewhere between me and you

Betapa sayangku, engkaupun tahu Kukira kaupun begitu Namun sayang adalah sesuatu Antara engkau dan aku
Di antara hatimu hatiku Terbentang dinding yang tinggi Tak satu jua jendela disana Agar kumemandangmu
Ada suatu antara kita Yang tak dapat ku mengerti Hanya senyummu selalu membayang Membuat ingin bertemu
Di antara hatimu hatiku Terbentang dinding yang tinggi Tak satu jua jendela disana Agar kumemandangmu
Ada suatu antara kita Yang tak dapat ku mengerti Hanya senyummu selalu membayang Membuat ingin bertemu Membuat ingin bertemu
