Tapi mata aku sepet! LOL ...!! Ermph trying out to make my mata look "galak" - beguiling eyes! .. Haha NOT! I think better don't. I'll ended up looking like one of those big mama panda.. ehehehe.. There merepek again!
Besok, lusa duduk sendiri
Biar sayangku jauh di mata
Saya ingat sehari-hari
Biar sayangku jauh di mata
Saya ingat sehari-hari
Ku termenung, di pinggir kali
Ku lihat lintah turun ke kali
Dari mana datanglah cinta?
Dari mata turun ke hati
Dari mana datanglah cinta?
Dari mata turun ke hati
*
Api besar di Gunung Salak
Gadis manis di dalam negeri
Rambut hitam, matanya galak
Oh itu saya nak cari
Rambut hitam, matanya galak
Ya itu saya nak cari
Rambut hitam, matanya galak!
BLACK HAIR, BEGUILING EYES
Now we are together
Tomorrow, day after - alone
Though my love is far from sight
I think of her everyday
Though my love is far from sight
I think of her everyday!
I was day -dreaming by the river’s edge
And I saw leeches drawn to the water
Oh where does love come from?
From the eye drawn to the heart
So where does love come from?
From the eyes drawn to the heart!
A raging fire on Mount Salak
The sweetest maiden in the country
Black hair, beguiling eyes
She’s the one I seek
Black hair, beguiling eyes,
She’s the one I seek.
Originally recorded by Anneke Gronloh
Lyrics modified by Izlyn Ramli
Arranged by George Brodbeck
Dutch-Indonesian singer Anneke Gronloh was a hit in the 50s and 60s with her quirky big-band inspired songs. She still performs in Holland and has many recordings to her name. It was hard to pick just one of her songs and we’ve taken some liberty with the lyrics to suit a guy’s point of view. By the way, unbelievably in this day and age, we were unable to track down the original composer and lyricist. If anyone can help us out, please let us know!
