Translation: Di Wajahmu Kulihat Bulan

Maman rearranged and sang this as the title track to OST of the movie Perempuan Melayu Terakhir.  He once said to me that he sang it without  thinking too much about it, he kind of  just let the song flowed naturally. I think it is one of his best vocalisations.
Di Wajahmu Kulihat Bulan
I See the [...]

Translation: Kaulah Jiwaku

The video is a live version of Kaulah Jiwaku  taken in a rooftop concert about 10 years ago.

Kaulah Jiwa Ku
You’re My Soul
If the bridge that I have to cross
Is only as wide as a strand of your hair
I’d cross it
As long as I could
Be in your loving embrace, my love
If the bridge [...]

Translation: Masihkah Ada Harapan

Masihkah Ada Harapan
Is There Still Hope
A ray of sunlight shines
After the thunderstom passes
A ray of moonlight shimmers
After the day ends
But I am still here
Still waiting and searching
For the morning sun to light the way
After the rain falls so unexpectedly
Is there still hope for me to stand tall
Is there still hope for me to keep running
After [...]

Translation: Di Suatu Hari Di Suatu Waktu

Di Suatu Hari Di Suatu Waktu
Some Day Some Time
You’re the perfumed incense
You’re the love that shines
While I am still dreaming
Still searching for reality
Would it be possible for us to be together
Some day some time
I want to make all  your  dreams come true*
My promises aren’t just words
This melody I wrote
Was not meant to make you cry
or [...]

Lyrics: I Wrote This Song

I Wrote This Song
I wrote this pretty song
Just to tell you how I feel
Won’t you believe me now coz my words are real
I can’t stand being lonely
I’ve been missin’ you too long
This distances between me you that always make me cry
I wrote this pretty song
Just to tell you how I feel
Won’t you believe me now [...]

Without You
The rain is falling down and I wonder why
You and I never saw things thru’
The wind it’s howling and it calls out your name
Or it’s just me, myself cryin’
Remembering the letters that we used to write
In a time when we [...]

Translation: Seringkali

Seringkali
Always
Always, I am lost in the shadows
This feelings break away and fly free even though
I picture you in my dreams
This man always wants to be with you
Remembering the wonderful times that I had with you
Am I still in your heart?
This journey is far from being over
But whenever that is, I will persevere
Even though the roads [...]

Translation – Malas

Laziness
Malas
When I close my eyes
Everything creeps closer
What happened yesterday flashes like a film
My mind wanders for a second
It feels so lazy to make my way there
Trying to find the boundaries of life
That used to disappear in the past
Behind the doors of reality
Laziness is beautiful, really
Preventing me from transgressing
In my search for something
Whatever’s lacking here
Still, for [...]

Translation: Cinta Kita

Cinta Kita
Our Love
Our love is like a  journey
Across rolling oceans
Though our lives have different paths
We are the same
In this journey
Searching for meaning
Searching for ourselves
(learning about) Who we really are
One moment in time it’s destined
That we’ll meet eventually
I miss you
This is my world
Longing for peace, here beside you
This is my freedom
With you that I love
This is [...]

Translation: Kasih (Ku Pinjam Wajahmu)

Kasih (Ku Pinjam Wajah Mu)
Love (It’s You In My Heart)
Doesn’t matter where I look
Your face is the only thing I see
Oh love, in the sky
In the dancing waves of the sea
Even when I close my eyes
Your face is still the only thing I see
In the deep recesses of my heart it glimmers
In the dreams that [...]
