Ben Ladin - Hikayat Ben Ladin

Hikayat Ben Ladin - Tales of Ben Ladin

Malay - English

Benladin... Benladin

Mereka keluar masuk gua
Mencuba mencari dimana ada
Mencuba meneka dimana saya
Mata kasar takkan dapat jumpa
Niat enson matakaji semar ngiseng

They went in and out of the cave
Searching every crooks
Searching my whereabouts
Normal eyesight will never find me
Niat enson matakaji semar ngiseng*

*a spell from a famous Malaysian old movie

Aku lah Benladin
Hikayat Benladin

I am Benladin
Tales of Benladin

Suara dah bergema
Suara sakti hamba
Dalam gelombang bawa aura ke udara
Separa manusia separa luar biasa

My voice echoed
My phenomenal voice
The wave brought vibe (character) to the air
Half human half exceptional

Gurau senda dengan kata-kata sang pujangga
Kalau main api janganlah tambah gasolin
Mesti hati-hati janganlah seperti lilin
Jika mahu terang biar terang dengan betul
Jangan jadi arang jadi arang buat kotor

Made jokes with words of the poet
Play with the fire but don't add the gasoline
Careful, don't be a candle
If you want to make it obvious make it clear
Don't be a charcoal just bringing dirt

Kerna atas muka ada selendang suci
Maka hias ia biar terpampang seri
Akulah ilustrasi definisi gergasi
Terhasil dari ekperimentasi radiasi bunyi

Coz on the face is a holy mask
So beautify it, let the 'light' shine
I'm the illustration of of monstrosity
The product of a sound radiation experimentation

Buka mata minda luas seperti lautan
Usah fikir bukan-bukan, kata bukan-bukan

Open your eyes as wide as the sea
Don't think of nonsense, or say empty words

Nenek tua si bongkok tiga
Cubalah nenek cari cucu dimana ada**

Old grandma with 3 hunches
Try and find where am I (the grandchild)**

**based on a children game of a witch (Nenek tua-Old grandma) trying to find the next target (cucu-grandchildren) for her curse. It is a play of word to sarcastically ask the other party to find him as referred to the starting of the song

Selamanya Cinta - Forever Love

Malay - English

Pabila Ku Lihat Senyumanmu,
Terdetik Memori Pertemuan,
Kali Pertama Kita Berdua.

When I look at your smile

Memories of our run-in emerges

The first time we met

Ada Sesuatu Tentang Kita,
Kemesraan Bersama Membuatku Alpa,
Tak Pernah Terlintas Untuk Aku,
Kehilanganmu.

There is something about us

Our intimacy together made me forget everything

Not even once has it occurred

Of losing you

Aku Tahu..
Aku Tahu Kau Juga Pun Turut Rasakan Itu,
Lebarkanlah Sayapmu Ke Pangkuanku,
Agar Bayangan Hitamku ….. Berlalu.

I knew

I know you felt it too

Spread your wings into my embrace

Make my dark days gone

Tanpa Cintamu,
Ku Merasakan Hidup Tak Lagi Bererti,
Tanpa Dirimu … Aku Rapuh.

Without your love

Life has no meaning

Without you, I'm weak

Tiada Tanda Tanya,
Tentang Ketulusan Kasih Kita Berdua,
Bersemi Cinta,

Jarak Itu…
Buat Ku Celaru…
Memikirkanmu Merindukanmu,
Namun Itulah … Menguatkan Cinta Kita.

Spaces between us

Complicates my mind

Thinking of you, missing you

But that streghtens our love

Tanpa Cintamu,
Ku Merasakan Hidup Tak Lagi Bererti,
Tanpa Dirimu Aku Rapuh.

Syamel - Lebih Sempurna

Lebih Sempurna - More Perfect (a better girl)

Malay - English

Ombak laut, angin bayu menemaniku
 dikala terkenang dirimu

The ocean's wave, 

the sea breeze accompanying me

When I'm thinking of you

manis indah dalam cinta
  tak pernah ku sangka kau pergi hanya kerana dia

The bittersweet of love

Never have I expected that you left me for him

bertahun sudah kita bersama
hanya dusta sebalik setia
 kau biarku derita 
menangis di dalam jiwa

For years we've been together

was just lies instead of loyalty

You left me suffering

my soul crying

kau terluka akulah peneman
 kau bahagia aku ditinggalkan
mudahnya kau berubah
sepiku berteman air mata

When you're broken, I stayed beside

When you're happy, I was abandoned

You changed so easily

Now tears fill my loneliness

berlalulah kau masa
  aku tidak berdaya
temukannya yang lebih sempurna

Time, please move on

I couldn't take it anymore

Find me a better companion

bertahun sudah kita bersama
  hanya dusta sebalik setia
 kau biarku derita
menangis di dalam jiwa

For years we've been together

was just lies instead of loyalty

You left me suffering

my soul crying

kau terluka akulah peneman
 kau bahagia aku ditinggalkan
mudahnya kau berubah
sepiku berteman air mata

When you're broken, I stayed beside

When you're happy, I was abandoned

You changed so easily

Now tears fill my loneliness

berlalulah kau masa
 aku tidak berdaya
temukannya yang lebih sempurna
 temukannya yang lebih sempurna
 temukannya yang lebih sempurna

Time, please move on

I couldn't take it anymore

Find me a better companion

Find me a better companion

Find me a better companion

Syamel & Ernie Zakri - Aku Cinta

Aku Cinta - I Love

Malay - English 

Kasih rahsiakan cinta
Tak mudah aku percaya
Setelah senda tawa nan mesra
Relakan hati sucimu

Dear, don't disclose this love

It's hard for me to believe

After the warm laughter

Will your pure heart

Kasih rahsiakan hati
Perlahan dirimu pergi
Bila berdua bahagia rasa
Dirimu hanya milikku selamanya

Dear, keep this love a secret

Withdraw yourself

Being together felt so blessed

Forever you are mine

Lengkapilah deraian cinta
Jangan biar ku menunggu harapanmu
Kau terindah hadir di jiwa
Zahir hilang di hatiku tetap cinta

Complete this love storm

Don't leave me hanging

You're the most beautiful gift

Physically lost, still love blooms in my heart

Berpalinglah semula
Kembalikan senyum indah
Sekali kau hadir dengan cinta
Hanya dirimu yang ku pinta

Turn around

Return the mesmerizing smile

Your presence brought love

Only you that I wanted

Lemah jiwaku meronta
Biar zahir terukir tawa
Di hati tak sanggup ku bicara
Selain hanya dari kata
Aku cinta

My weak heart struggling

On the outside smiling

What's inside I dare not say

There's no other than

I love (you)

Lengkapilah deraian cinta
Jangan biar ku menunggu harapanmu
Kau terindah hadir di jiwa
Zahir hilang di hatiku tetap cinta

Complete this love storm

Don't leave me hanging

You're the most beautiful gift

Physically lost, still love blooms in my heart

Berpalinglah semula
Kembalikan senyum indah
Sekali kau hadir dengan cinta
Hanya dirimu yang ku pinta

Turn around

Return the mesmerizing smile

Your presence brought love

Only you that I wanted

Lemah jiwaku meronta
Biar zahir terukir tawa
Di hati tak sanggup ku bicara
Selain hanya dari kata
Aku cinta

My weak heart struggling

On the outside smiling

What's inside I dare not say

There's no other than

I love (you)

Floor 88 - Zalikha

Zalikha (a female/lady name)

Malay - English

Seorang Gadis yang mencuri hatiku
Anggun Terpersona ku melihat wajahnya
Adakah Dia merasakan apa yang ku rasa
Degup Jantungku bergetar getar

A lady stole my heart

Mesmerized by her beauty

Does she feels what I felt?

The fast beating of my heart

Lirikan Matamu menusuk ke jiwaku
Sekali Ku pandang membaut ku terpaku
Selalu terbayang akan wajahmu
Adakah kau merasa seperti diriku

A glance that strikes the heart

One look and I'm hooked

Constantly picturing your profile

Do you feel the same?

Malay lyrics from http://www.metrolyrics.com/zalikha-lyrics-floor88.html

Haqiem Rusli - Segalanya

Segalanya - Everything

Malay - English

Hampir pernah ku cuba sesali
Kerna telah memberikan segalanya
Siapakah diriku sebenarnya di hatimu
Atau sekadar sandaranmu

I nearly regretted

For giving you everything

Truthfully, who am I in your heart

Or just a collateral

Saat ku mulai menyedari
Perasaan ku tak pernah dipeduli
Salahkah diriku mengemis cinta darimu
Apa ku tak punya harga

The moment I realised

My feelings were ignored

Was it wrong to beg for your love

Am I of no value?

Segala apa yang telah ku berikan
Masih lagi tak memadai
Hampir ku tersungkur menuntut janji
Dari mu... Ooo... ooo... ooo

All that I have given

Are still insufficient

Almost falling redeeming the promise

From you

Saat ku mulai menyedari
Perasaan ku tak dipeduli
Salahkah diriku mengemis cinta darimu
Apa ku tak punya harga

The moment I realised

My feelings were ignored

Was it wrong to beg for your love

Am I of no value?

Segala apa yang telah ku berikan
Masih lagi tak memadai
Hampir ku tersungkur menuntut janji
dari mu

All that I have given

Are still insufficient

Almost falling redeeming the promise

From you

Segala rasa yang telah kau berikan
Masih tak mampu mengubati
Perasaan yang telah kau nodai
Pada ku

All that I have given

Still incapable of healing

The pain you've caused

On me

Segala rasa yang telah kau berikan
Masih tak mampu mengubati
Perasaan yang telah kau nodai
Pada ku
Oooo.Aaaaa
Pada ku

All that I have given

Still incapable of healing

The pain you've caused

On me

Malay lyrics from http://www.metrolyrics.com/segalanya-lyrics-haqiem-rusli.html

Temporary

"Hello there, how are you?"

I've got a story to tell you.

I'll be on standby
no matter the time
Then you came by
Spouting your life for a dime

I will always be there
for I am needed constant
I will never stray
though you don't need me permanent

I am forever bounded
for now I know my core
I am the girl of comfort
not of forevermore

The cycle repeats as the doorbell rings,

"Hello there, how have you been doing?"

1.0 Break of Dawn

Don't listen to the he said she said

I met you and my heart thumped
and boy, how you knew
But you met me with her on your mind
oh honey, I'm freshly wounded too

Warning bells from my friends
and honestly I felt the fear
Seasons changed and you visited again
now I'm ready to lend you my ears

Don't listen to the he said she said

With a blank canvas you approached
"Can I paint us for keeps?" you questioned
Within a week you managed to sketch
Little did you know, the completed version in my head

Your paintings now a work of gold
Contracts dropping, and you were sold
Feeling proud, I side-stepped for you to grow
But no one told me that chivalry was old

Don't listen to the he said she said

"Our sketches, did you managed to finish it?"
I wanted to be able to ask
Taylor Swift on repeat to baby-sit
Protecting my cold heart like a warm flask

I tried not to let their words in
Clinging to promises and memories for guidance
Now please tell me of my sins
For their loud voices are now mine to listen

Can I like you?

          Heart races seeing others

          Sweat breaking looking at him

          but when the song in the radio starts playing

          it is you on my mind I keep seeing

Can I keep you?

          Late night talks with strangers

          Sharing stories with others

          but with every news I get

          you are the first I wished to text

Can we be more?

          You believed it's better with me

          Saying how you hoped I was there

          but if I were to actually stray

          will you be able to stay?

Can't I let go?

          A good friend before any other

          A permanence no matter what bothers

          but despite all the feelings I uprooted

          the roots of all memories stay grounded.

Around the Bush

One foot out the door
and I hear the boiling kettle
A guitar and a music score
but my voice is still little

The gas turned off
Now I'm thirsty for tea
Autotune for the playoff?
Antis just won't agree

Chamomile calms the thoughts
Seek the fridge for an apricot
Honey water to ease the clots
Now only left the nerves in knot

Mug and plate in the sink
Dark clouds outside made me rethink
Guitar back in it's case with a clink
Maybe another day I will sing

A poem about having second thoughts and giving excuses to avoid dealing with any situation.

Neighbouring Windows

As I stare inside
I saw a couple arguing
Choosing future pathways
Breaking up or entertaining a break.
Funny,
how it shares a root word.

I peaked next door
A relationship ended
Being untitled, unlabelled
Even love can be shrugged off.
As if nothing
Just a song you get tired of.

I looked to the one below
Alone with multiple hurt
Scarring the tired heart
New strangers are just samples.
Wanting,
but the blemishes put a halt.

I glanced to my right
Years of trust evaporated
A wrong move mistaken
Feelings unrequited.
Even friendship,
is now forgotten.

At the corner I squinted,
Assessing her own reflection
Trembling, on the brink of tears
Eyebrows wrinkled of worries.
All you wanted,
was to love yourself.

Life shares a story,
lives emit bittersweet tales,
and they're all coming to me.

---
Poem inspired by 5 different friends on mine. 
The bittersweet of life is an unforgettable memory, with some requiring a drop of tear, or two.

Perfectly Matched

We laughed at the same jokes
Be it political or a hoax
Our moon shaped eyes curved
and our skin wrinkled

The things we do
the things we love
We rounded equally
Personalities melting perfectly

Indistinguishable principles hold
Cooking the same recipes
Till our hair turns old
Still believing in charity

We, are almost identical
Or so he told me.
But with a plastered smile and wide eyes,
You took his hands and left me none.

She and I,
are so similar
That's why it hurts more.

Nabila Razali - Pematah Hati

A hit song the moment it debuted!
A song about being strong for yourself and deleting the parasite partner from your life. Even when you still loves them :(
With catchy vibes and easy lyrics, I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

Just a heads-up though, "cumi" here stands for the abbreviation of "Cuba Miscall", literally try miscalling me. Enjoy!

Pematah Hati - Heart Breaker

Sufian Suhaimi - Di Matamu

Currently trending in Malaysia!

A song about a guy with past relationships that made his current love doubtful of him. The guy had a past of several relationships and unfortunately, his previous self became the object of dissatisfaction from his current love's point of view.

A sad song of not being able to forgive a person's past life. Enjoy,

Di Matamu - In Your Eyes

Misha Omar - Bunga Bunga Cinta

Here's to another old Malay song!

I've been in love with this songs since I was still in pre-school and it is still a go-to song for me~
It is a song about a broken love, from being the everything to being left stranded with a broken heart. The lyrics use a lot of metaphors and nature as a symbolic gesture of love, hence some of the translation might not make sense.
Feel free to comment for anything though!

Now, let's get on with it!

Bunga Bunga Cinta - Flowers of Love

Wet Paint

I met you when the paint was wet
You saw through how it dries
Clinging to the wall like a second skin
Still, I wished for a wallpaper

Passing my street you stop and chatted
About the weather and the new colour
The season changed to summer and drier heat
You pointed up my wall and there it is, a cracked bit

Soon the paint starts peeling itself
Kept on stopping by and we chatted
Talked about the old and the new
Said you'll help paint mine too

We scrounged the walls deep
Till the bare base surfaces
The ashy gray cemented bricks
With tiny holes of air pockets

Months gone by changing seasons
The storms and thunders provide reasons
My street missing your daily presence
My walls grew moldy from separation

New paint sat beside me
Wet from water mixing
My back to the street I stare
At the steel gate I just purchased

To her and Mr. Confusing. Thank you, now her heart is re-strengthen, I guess....

Re-uploaded due to some spelling mistakes huhuhu

Unobtainable

I knew
Your flower blooms
Known by your friends
No square cut-outs
with double clicks for hearts
But I knew

and yet I 

I noticed
How you slanted
Relaxing your side
Pouring pleasantries
Inviting conversation
To ease my knotted heart

funny me

I understood
Comprehending facts
A story of two
Of a host and a guest
Provider of comfort
Seeker of warmth

but still I 

I clings
To the spread of warmth
Spring freshness
Claiming for attention
In desperation
but I knew

it is wrong

I dreamt
a fantasy of you and me
momentarily forgetting
the flower by your side
growing painfully
and that I'm beaten

because I know
you're not mine to hold
