I grew up with this. Why would I want to grow old without? I mean, here I am at 2 o’clock in the morning with only pyjamas and bluetooth earphones on, shaking my hips and everything else that want to shake with me voluntarily and non, shoulders shrugging invitingly and hands in the fondling motion one moment, playing the maracas the next, imagining myself in that decollete Kebaya or Baju Potong Kota Bharu, frangipani over one ear, smiles in my eyes, love on my lips… already re-growing fond of memories that came with this song. I don’t grow old. I just age melodically.
Menimbang Rasa
Apakah yang kuberikan
Tanda aku serta memujamu
Padaku lain tiada hanya
Cumalah rasa pemikat cinta
Tiadakah dihatimu
Bertempat sudi menimbang rasa
Menimbang sayang hasrat asmara
Gayamu manis jelita
Andai kata engkau pun tahu
Bagaimana hatiku sekarang
Rindu selalu melandai jiwa
Hinga kasih sayangku terbuang
Tetapi kau tak mengerti
Bagaimanakah jadinya nanti
Merindu sepanjang hari
Tak kekal dan abadi
Questa è Enida

I was too, girl. Of all the above! Plus Aman Shah, DJ Dave, Noorkumalasari (yes, again!), Hail Amir, Uji Rashid, Azlina Aziz, Jamal Abdillah, Yunizar Hosein, The Queen, Salamiah Hassan, Quinary M, and on to Ramlah Ram, Nassier Wahab, Maizurah Hamzah, Syed Sobri, Razis Ismail, Adam Ahmad, Ibnor Riza, Shidee, even Muhaini Suratman! Hehe.
This Oslan Husein is the original singer of ‘Ayam Den Lapeh’ – one of the many minang songs I grew up listening to. I always think of this kind of songs as the Ne Me Quitte Pas of the Malay world. Oslan Husein was the Fred Astaire to P.Ramlee who was the Elvis Presley. Not a fair comparison, I know. But I’m sure you’ve got the drill. 🙂
Oh Ngah, lagu² camni reminds me of berkaraoke bersama family.My aunty suka sangat nyanyi lagu ni, just snippets of it, and do her sukati ‘rhumba’ moves.HE HE HE.It’s nostalgic alright.It spells ‘HOME’.
