ok I changed the song since it's HARI RAYA yeah people!!! But, I can't fix it fully yet so for now, bear with it XD this is so far my favourite Hari Raya song.... because IT'S SO SAD!!!Everybody's so happy when Hari Raya comes but this person feels grief when he sees everyone celebrating with their family when his parents are already gone. First time I heard this, I nearly cried. And since then, it has been my all-time favourite. I translated it for you people, but mind you my Malay pretty much sucks XD
Malay lyrics:
Bila tiba hari raya
Semua insan bergembira
Tetapi bagiku hanya kesedihan
Yang menyelubungi hidup
Ayah dan juga ibuku
Telah pergi selamanya
Terbiarlah aku ibarat musafir
Yang haus di padang pasir
( korus )
Siapakah yang sudi
Menghulurkan simpati
Kepada nasibku ini
Agar dapat kurasa
Nikmat di hari raya
Seperti insan yang lain
Ku meminta dan berdoa
Kepada Yang Maha Esa
Tabahkan hati berilah pedoman
Cahaya Di Aidil Fitri
English lyrics:
When Hari Raya comes
Every single muslim glimmer in happiness
But only sadness is filled inside me
That surrounds my life
My Dad and my Mom, as well
Has left me forever
Leaving me lonely and thirsty in the day
That I will get my judgement [these 2 lines are abit changed becoz if it's literally translated, no one would understand XD but the meaning is the same]
(Chorus)
Who would consider
To feel for me
For my unlucky fate
So that I could at least taste
How Hari Raya is supposed to be
Like all the other happy muslims
I pray and hoped
To God
To give me courage and guide me
To the light of Hari Raya
This song is called Cahaya Aidilfitri by Black Dog Bone. Cahaya Aidilfitri is Light of Hari Raya. This guy just wants to feel how it was like when his parents was still alive and he was having so much fun during Hari Raya. Aww so sad :'(
Selamat Hari Raya to everyone, now now don't be so gloomy because of the song =D it's pretty popular so I'm quite sure every single Malay person knows this song, or at least most XD
