Malaysian Rhymes

This is the Second post regarding the Malaysian Rhymes. Of course many wants their sweet memories in childhood to be remembered. I am really honored to do so today.

Rasa Sayang

rasa sayang eh
rasa sayang sayang eh
eh lihat nona jauh
rasa sayang sayang eh

buah cempedak di luar pagar
ambil galah tolong jolokkan
saya budak baru belajar
kalau salah tolong tunjukkan

pulau pandan jauh ke tengah
gunung daik bercabang tiga
hancur badan di kandung tanah
budi yang baik di kenang juga

dua tiga kucing berlari
mana sama si kucing belang
dua tiga boleh ku cari
mana sama abang seorang

pisang emas dibawa berlayar
masak sebiji di atas peti
hutang emas boleh di bayar
hutang budi di bawa mati

Sayang means love it english. so rasa sayang means my love feeling. the second paragraph till the last shows is more to known as "pantun". i cant name it as poem as its different. But usually the last letters of line 1/ 3 and 2/4 are similar. This gives the reader a nice tone. Listen to the song I know many would like it....
