Merdeka 2006: Part III
Having seen into the past and looked at the present, I wonder what the future holds for our beloved nation.On this, the 43rd Birthday of Malaysia, let us sing of the future we can make.
---------------------------------------------
Sejahtera Malaysia
Puji dan syukur pada Ilahi
Anugerahnya tiada terhingga
Kedamaian kemakmuran
Malaysiaku bahagia
Dengan tekad untuk berjaya
Berbakti pada nusa dan bangsa
Kami junjung cita-cita luhur
Perpaduan seluruh negeri
( korus )
Seia sekata sehati sejiwa
Menghadapi cabaran
Kami sedia kami setia
Berkorban untuk negara
Bersemarak Malaysia tercinta
Kibarkan panji kebesarannya
Kami rela menjaga namamu
Sejahtera Malaysia

Update 21 Sept 2006
For readers whose Bahasa Malaysia is not up to par (like me), a translation follows. It is not exact, but you can (just about) sing it....
Malaysia, The Bountiful
All praise and glory to the name of God
His gifts aplen-ty, boundless as the sky
Bless’d twice with peace, prosperity
Rejoice, belov-ed Malaysia
In name of King and Country sally forth
To build a nation for us one and all
Our unity, the greatest of our worth
For side by side we shall stand tall
(chorus)
One of soul, of purpose, one of mind, one of heart
In the face of all our trials
Never apart, never to part
We shall conquer with our smiles
Shine forth, O glo-rious Malaysia of mine
Shine forth, bright light of South East Asia
Forevermore the world at large will know
The name of our Malaysia

Selamat Hari Malaysia :)
I remember listening to this song during my secondary school days..
that was something like more than one and half decade ago liao..
trying to recall the name of the female artist who sang this song (Sejahtera Malaysia)
Is it Francissa Peter?
The song was played every night prior to the prime time news at 8 pm during those days :)
oh gosh, I only vaguely remember this song. anyone knows the melody to it? definitely not coming to mind... lol! happy malaysia day!
maymay,
hehhe.. I still remember the melody & the lyrics :P
Thank you Royston Sta maria for this beautiful composition. *Cocka holding a glass in toast*
Now this is nostalgic
*sniff sniff*
It was worth the wait
Chen: Sshhh... not so loud. Do you know, I can't remember who sang or even wrote it?
may: I didn't remember it either, until I started to write Part III. =)
Chen: Music and lyrics are a bit difficult to find on the web, ar? But I do remember, that it was a short, simple song.
SA: 49th on 31 August, for West Malaysia. On this day 43 years ago, East Malaysia (and the country now known as Singapore) joined with Malaya (as West Malaysia was then known) to form (you guessed it) Malaysia! =D
You can sing along too! (Passes karaoke mike to SA
Cocka: Royston Sta Maria is the composer? You learn something new every day!
*Kleenex to zeroimpact*
We all need a little nostalgia every now and again. But isn't it kind of ironic that this piece of nostalgia is about the future?
I havent a clue unfortunately, come to think of it, I cant remember anything from Spore either, die, memory going... *different kind of sniffle*
I'll join in fantasyflier's gang, and look blur blur.. I can't remember either.. but I can remember my old school anthem, for what it's worth!

Hahaha.

Okok... transration coming up.
FF: Not getting older, but getting wiser. The excuse I use is that I only need to remember the important things. ;)
*Kleenex to you too*
LB: See? You could teach FF a thing or two about remembering important things!
winn: Aiyo... ok, going to transrate liao (like my BM so pakar lidat...).
titoki: OMG, that's another song! One day, must find excuse to post it up. Kekeke....

SA: Transration for you oredi! :D
angel: Kekeke.... transration worr.... how ah? Can pakai or not? Or Engrish wan....
I've been taking a good look around, reminding myself of the good things. You know what? The sad thing is, I do see all the good things but I feel helpless that I can't change all the bad. And so despite all things good and beautiful, I believe I will go...wish me luck..
kat: Good luck and best wishes, wherever you go and whatever you do. May you find what you seek and change what you must. May beauty follow you and love hold your hand. May goodness and beauty be your companions forevermore....
SA: *;Pback* *pinches SA*
