Hi There!
I found a song by Ari Lasso that I wanted to translate called Penjaga hati. There are two sentences that I'm unsure about.

Lama sudah ku menunggu
Seutas harapan tulus cintamu

The first sentence says 'I've waited a long time for', I think.
But can't figure out the second one.

Can anyone help please?

Update: I'm a bit confused about these lines also.
Meski aku telah terbiasa
Tambatkan hatiku
Pada Wanita

Seutas harapan tulus cintamu

Utas us the measurement word for objects stringed together (in malay we say benda benda yang berurai),
for example a chain or necklace. You will often come across seutas rantai.
So seutas harapan means like a string of hope.

Tulus means to be honest (jujur) and cintamu is really cinta kamu (love you).

I'll let you put the meaning together by yourself.
