saya teringin melihat bunga api
membuat langit hitam jadi berseri
terang cahayanya yang mendakapi
menghibur semua saudara saudari

saya teringin melihat bunga api
memancar ke awan dari bumi
bagai mayang kembang mewangi
setiap kelopak berwarna-warni

saya teringin melihat bunga api
sesudah mengembang, ia kembali
ke bumi dengan menghujani
gerimis halus bak permata hati

saya teringin melihat bunga api
jadikan malam ber-mentari
izinkan saya melihat bunga api
bersama-sama engkau di sisi.



yes, my frens. i can still speak malay. and i write pretty decently too.


and...
especially for inez.

i want to watch the fireworks
that make the dark sky sparkle
its bright rays embrace all
a treat to boys and girls

i want to watch the fireworks
launched into the sky from earth
they bloom like scented flowers
each petal a riot of colours

i want to watch the fireworks
fully bloom and then return
back to earth in the form of rain
like drizzles of gems and jewels

i want to watch the fireworks
make the night time sunshiny
allow me to watch the fireworks
with you there right beside me
