Tinggal Kenangan...

(pic googled)

When i was small ( kindie), i remembered i have been taught to sing this song.. at that moment, it was just another song to me. it doesn't give me any meaning nor deep interpretations . now that i have grown up ( and been through a LOT of Literature class), i started to 'listen' to the message(s) it conveyed. with the scenario that we have in Malaysia, it really reminds me back to this 'old song'....

Anak kecil main api,

Terbakar hatinya yang sepi,

Air mata darah bercampur keringat,

Bumi dipijak milik orang.

Nenek moyang kaya raya,

Tergadai seluruh harta benda,

Akibat SENGKETA sesamalah KITA,

Cinta lenyap di arus zaman.

Indahnya bumi kita ini,

Warisan berkurun lamanya,

Hasil mengalir ke tangan yang lain,

Peribumi merintih sendiri.

Masa depan sungguh kelam,

Kerana peristiwa semalam,

Tertutup hati, terkunci mati,

Maruah peribadi sudah hilang.

Kini kita cuma tinggal kuasa,

Yang akan menentukan bangsa,

Bersatu lah hati, bersama berbakti,

Pulih kembali harga diri.

Kita sudah tiada masa,

Bangun lah dengan gagah perkasa,

Jangan lah terlalai , teruskan usaha,

Melayu kan gagah di nusantara.
