Does anyone remember this old song by Kopratasa? I was out shopping when I saw a remastered CD by the trio and decided to hear their songs again. What memories this particular track brought back! It's not merely a love song because I read it as a message of grit and determination, of seeking a dream and how we have to suffer hardship together before it is realised. A renowned (local) State leader had used this song to express his vision statement and at the late Dato's retirement, this song was played instead of the usual `My Way'. Read the words and see what the song is about; look for the substance in its poetry (ImanImran will help out with the ..er..melody) (PS: they were about 16 months old then so please pardon their mispronunciation!):
Masihkah kau ingat
Pada waktu itu
Sekuntum bunga mekar
Ku selit dirambut mu
Masihkah kau ingat
Ia menjadi mimpi
Dan menjadi rindu
Masihkah kau ingat...
Masihkah kau ingat kita berlari-lari
Di kaki langit
mencari pelangi
Lalu hujan turun kita basah bersama
Masihkah kau ingat
Masihkah kau ingat...
Masihkah kau ingat, sekuntum bunga itu
Ditapak tangan ini
Ia menjadi layu
Lalu ku genggam
Ia menjadi debu
masihkah kau ingat..
Why wouldn't I? When I was transferred from Kuala Terengganu branch to my present location, I prepared a slide show based on this very song. I then burnt it on CDs and distributed them among the staff as a remembrance of my time with them.
ReplyDeleteYeah, a very moving song and most appropriate to be used at farewells. It's time to replace the obnoxious Auld Lang Syne!
I will share my 'creation' with you soon.
sounds good...did u like the twins' version of the song? An appropriate illustration for each post in the Blog! I was lucky to have captured that moment in their growth when they loved to croon. Now they don't anymore. They are practising their psychomotor skills now: grasping pens and drawing circles and scratches and gave them names: `M'...`six'..and everything is `Cantik!' Delightful stage.
