Yuna - Terukir Di Bintang

This is a very beautiful song by Yuna, a young Malaysian singer and song-writer.
I love this song which is presented in a classical way. It's entitled "Terukir Di Bintang", literally, Engraved In the Star.

Here's the lyrics in Bahasa Malaysia :

Jika engkau minta intan permata tak mungkin ku mampu

Tapi sayangkan ku capai bintang dari langit untukmu
Jika engkau minta satu dunia akan aku coba
Ku hanya mampu jadi milikmu pastikan kau bahagia

Hati ini bukan milik ku lagi
Seribu tahun pun akan ku nanti
Kan... kamu...

Sayangku
Jangan kau persoalkan siapa dihatiku
Terukir di bintang tak mungkin hilang cintaku padamu

Hati ini bukan milik ku lagi

Seribu tahun pun akan ku nanti
Kan... kamu...

Sayangku
Jangan kau persoalkan siapa dihatiku
Terukir di bintang tak mungkin hilang cintaku padamu

I try to translate it, so literally, it would be lke this :

If you ask for diamonds, I can’t afford it

But my dear, I’ll pick the star in the sky for you

If you ask for one whole world, I’ll try

I’m only able to say I’m yours, 

I’ll make sure you’re happy

This heart doesn’t belong to me anymore

Even for a thousand years, I’ll wait for you

My dear, please don’t doubt who’s in my heart

Engraved in the star, my love for you will never die


Take a listen! I hope you'll enjoy it. :)

I'm A Woman In Love

Listening to songs is a must-do for me everyday when driving to and back from work. It happened that this evening the local radio station I listened to played this beautiful number "Woman In Love" by Barbara Streisand. It's an oldie but listening to it was so refreshing after a slogging day. I was immersed in the beautiful lyrics. I was lost in my dreams of how great love is! I imagined the peak of happiness one gets  when madly in love. Everything is so beautiful and nothing else matters. Love can also defy all barriers. One is willing to sacrifice anything in the name of love. How strong the power of love is!

Let me define love :

Love at its peak is sweet as honey,
That it is seen everywhere,
Among the trees, the wind and the sky,
But when something goes wrong somewhere,
It makes a U-turn and becomes sour,
Even more sour than vinegar,
Till no love bird could withstand it,
Pretty soon it gets over fermented,
And all dreams turn to trash!



I might not be the woman in love but it doesn't stop me from loving this song and singing along. C'mon, let's karaoke!

Siti Nurhaliza - The Moon Represents My Heart

This is such a lovely number that captures my heart. Datuk Siti Nurhaliza is Malaysia's top singer. She is a diva who received the most awards and listed in Malaysia Book Of Records.

Enjoy the song!


*After reading some comments ,  I write this as an addition to what I wrote above. As the song is sung in Chinese, most of us don't understand the lyrics. The song is not Siti's original number. Siti Nurhaliza is a Malay but as a singer, she can sing songs in other languages. I love this Chinese classic.

I surfed for the translation and this is what I got from http://www.sinosplice.com/

The Moon Represents My Heart

1
You ask how deeply I love you,
and just how great my love is,
My affection is real,
and my love is true,
The moon represents my heart.

2
You ask how deeply I love you,
and just how great my love is,
My affection does not waver,
and my love doesn't change,
The moon represents my heart.

3
So soft was the kiss,
that has moved my heart,
Such a deep affection,
makes me long for you now.

4
You ask how deeply I love you,
and just how great my love is,
Consider this,
and look above,
The moon represents my heart.
(Repeat 3 & 4)
Consider this,
and look above,
The moon represents my heart.
