This is a jazzed up Malay classic by Sean Ghazi, a Malaysian singer, actor, from his debut album "Sean Ghazi Semalam (semalam means yesterday evening or one night in bahasa)".
I'm not an avid Malay/Indon music follower, but I do listen to some local Malay or mix radios, which never failed to introduce me to many good old and new Malay songs, and I'm glad that I heard this one when I was driving somewhere in the city at night.
I hope you enjoy this one, too.
Lyrics in Bahasa & English translation:
Tiada kata bagimu
Sebagai buluh perindu
Kanda nantimu
Bekalku hanyalah rindu walau dipisah lautan
Duhai kasihku...
Kala senja dikau datang walaupun hanya lamunan
Aduhai....
Sabarlah menanti
Ku takan lama
Daku pergi demi tugas walau apapun beratnya
Oh relakan
Pesanmu tak kulupakan
Sumpah setia demi cinta
Oh percayalah
Bila sinar suria menghampiri dikau
Sabarlah dik sayang
Kukembali.
Percayalah
Bila sinar suria menghampiri dikau
Sabarlah dik sayang
Kukembali.
& here's my translation (direct and indirect, not accurate, ok, time to polish up my Bahasa!):
There's no word for you
Just like bambusa
I'm waiting for you
I'm provided with just yearning though separated by ocean
Alas my love
You came in the dusk although it's just a fantasy
Alas...
Please be patient and waiting
I won't be long
I have to go for my duty no matter how heavy it is
Oh I'm willingly
Not forgeting your words
Swear to be loyal for love
Oh please believe
When sun rays come close to you
Please be patient my love
I'm back
Please believe
When sun rays come close to you
Please be patient my love
I'm back
