Some songs...

Music is a quintessential part of life. Songs that simply rock, songs that make you dance, songs that makes you cry, songs that vex you, and etc. And then there are songs that you can never get rid off. In a good way I mean. They remain indelibly etched in your mind. These songs have such an impact on you that there's never a day you go without listening to it. Or never a day passes that you'll be humming it under your breath, in your head and in your heart. These songs will also go on and on and on, lasting for generations. I love these kind of songs. And such a great example would be compositions and music by the late P Ramlee. His songs are amazing. Beautiful. Even if you don't understand the lyrics, it doesn't matter because the melody, the rhythm will speak for itself. This particular song touches my heart every single time. 

Nak Dara Rindu~ P. Ramlee


 In the night
    The moon shines
Peace and quiet, around me
Heard the melancholy
 Of stars a thousand       
Persuading sadness because longing
 Songs of past
 In the night
The full moon
 The calm wind blows
Saying love
 Singing melodiously
  Praise wistfully
 Softly mellow
As young lady yearns
Tanjong Katong
The waters are blue
 The place to bathe
 For beautiful young lady
  From the same village
Yet she’s being missed
This is but far from the eyes
Tanjong Katong
 The waters are blue
The place to bathe
For beautiful young lady
 From the same village
Yet she’s being missed
 This is but far from the eyes
