Among the songs hummed by your late grandmother was this song that I grew up listening to....The first version was by the late Saloma and the second version was by Uji Rashid..and U know..Mama wd never fail to listen to this song over and over again that I bet , it had already left some tiny places in your mind....
The sweet melody and the magic lyrics.... I guess it was part our malay old tradition...everything was not that straight forward....like ...in malay words....'Berkias'...when one is happy, is sad, is hoping..its like a word uttered cd have meanings behind it and they just show the 'Melayu' and 'Lembut'..and it was potrayed in every actions...thus we were thought since young to be 'Lemah Lembut' / soft and respect especially to the elderly...plus have patience with the younger ones..
But time flies so fast..that nowdays...we are thought to be outspoken..we are more straight forward..we speak up your mind..just be careful dear..with the words..because Allah creates each and every one of us unique..what u think is right and fancy ..at times is not right and fancied by others....but again fight for your right and befriend plus seek advice from knowledgeable people..most of all seek guidance from Allah The Almighty...if you were faced with hiccups in your life...
p/s: By coincidence this song was presented by one of the AF-6 contenders.....down my memory lane la.....**************************************
MENGAPA DIRINDU
Anak Punai Anak Merbah
Terbang turun buat sarang
Anak sungai pun berubah ini pula hati orang
Mengapa dikenang
Asal kapas jadi benang
Dari benang dibuat baju
Barang lepas jangan kenang sudah jadi orang baru
Mengapa dirindu
Kasih yang dulu tinggal dalam mimipi
Kasih yang baru simpan di hati
Kasih yang dulu tinggal dalam mimipi
Kasih yang baru simpan di hati
Selat teduh lautan tenang
Banyak labuh perahu aceh
Jangan kesal jangan kenang walau hati rasa pedih
Mengapa bersedih
Kalau pinang masih muda
Rasanya kelat sudahlah pasti
Kalau hilang kasih lama cari lain untuk ganti
Mengapa Dinanti
Patahkan tumbuh hilang berganti
Akan sembuh kalau diubati....
