Warisan

Anak Kecil Main Api
Terbakar Hatinya Yang Sepi
Airmata Darah Bercampur Keringat
Bumi Dipijak Milik Orang

Nenek Moyang Kaya Raya
Tergadai Seluruh Harta Benda
Akibat Sengketa Sesamalah Kita
Cinta Lenyap Di Arus Zaman

Indahnya Bumi Kita Ini
Warisan Berkurun Lamanya
Hasil Mengalir Ke Tangan Yang Lain
Pribumi Merintih Sendiri

Masa Depan Sungguh Kelam
Kan Lenyap Peristiwa Semalam
Tertutuplah Hati Terkunci Mati
Maruah Peribadi Dah Hilang

Kita Rumpun Bangsa Melayu
Menganut Agama Yang Suci
Semangat Bangsa Berlandaskan Islam
Teras Capai Kemerdekaan

Dari Masa Hingga Masa
Petualang Menghancurkan Bangsa
Alatkan Agama Demi Peribadi
Pupus Kita Di Bumi Illahi

Kini Kita Cuma Tinggal Kuasa
Yang Akan Menentukan Bangsa
Bersatulah Hati Bersama Berbakti
Pulih Kembali Harga Diri

Kita Sudah Tiada Masa
Majulah Dengan Gagah Perkasa
Jangan Lalai Teruskan Usaha
Melayu Kan Gagah Di Nusantara (3x)


Isn't it deep?
We were singing and playing guitar to Western songs when Kak Roy suddenly said. "korang tahu tak lagu warisan?" and she started singing the first line. I was like, humm...i remember singing that song, but how's that song again?

YES! last night a friend email us the lyric of the song. And everybody started to get into it including some who told us their experience with this song. Too bad I cant remember mine. Maybe I heard this song in some camp during high school. Or maybe during BTN. I wish I remember :(

This song has a very beautiful melody to it, that much I can remember. I do think I know how to sing the first 2 lines. But what's more important is of course, the lyric.
Quoting from Cik Tun Teja:
"After that activity, I realized one thing about that song. It's not only about the beautiful melody that it carries. It's about the deepness of reality that wraps tightly around the wordings of the beautiful song."

See, u will have to dig deep with the lyrics. I know whatever the lyric is saying is pretty much common sense, but these "common sense" are not something we remember everyday aite? If I didnt get the email last night, I wont remember all these so-called fundamental things. I see it as a breath of fresh air, cos it lifts me up to remind myself why I am here and of course, what am I fighting for, but at the same time, be true to urself and dont ever forget ur roots! i got streams of emails later discussing about this and some had gotten themselves drifted with some other issues, but it's ok, it's always nice to read what my young friends have to say regarding big ISSUES! damn u guys are sooo freaking deep. I havent reach that level yet, but someday, I will be able to "join ur discussion"....

*side story: I spent 2 hours cooking last night. i was not done cooking until 1.30am. what the fault! this is why i hate suite style......
