Happy National Day!

It's the 52nd National Day! Woohoo... yet, I am not really feeling the excitement. Maybe because I don't really see that many cars with the flag on 'em. Everything seems... mellow this year.

Anyhow, I think we should all try to celebrate it as loudly as we can! We are free from... what's the English word for penjajahan? Erm... we're free from colonization (I think). No more Portugal, Dutch, Britain or Japanese colonizing our country. We are a free country (not so much, but still, free).

I remember back in high school, we always have to sing all the "lagu kebangsaan" and stuff during the month of August. Negaraku, Tanggal 31, Keranamu Malaysia, Jalur Gemilang, and etc.

Those songs brought back memories, however this year, a new song was stuck in my head.

Satu Malaysia from the AMP All Stars.

Start:
Satu Malaysia
Rakyat Didahulukan, Pencapaian Diutamakan

Verse 1:
Oh indahnya 'pabila
Kita bersama
Kau, aku, kita semua
Tiada bezanya

No matter, whatever the challenge may be
We'll face it together, the stronger we'll be

*Tamil
Ondraga seinthu, endrendrum vazhvom santhosham neeranthaeram
(Together we come united as one, and live forever, our happiness is permanent)

Chorus:
Satu Bangsa
Satu Suara
Satu Nada
Satu Irama
Bersama kita capai semua
Satu Malaysia

Rap:
Satu Bangsa - We're united in music
Satu Irama - United we stand
I feel the hearts of my people when we struggle everyday to be the best that we can
We share the food that we eat, we share the words that we speak,
I say what's up? You say, "Apa cerita?"
"You hungry bro? Jom makanlah!"

Verse 2:
We go up, never go down
We go up together

*Chinese
Wo men shi yi ge ma lai xi ya (我们是一个马来西亚) (We are one Malaysia)
Wo men yong yuan zai tong yi ge jia (我们永远在同一个家) (We are one family)

Together we are strong
Tuan jie yi qi bu fen bi ci (团结一起不分彼此) (Unity with one vision)

Together we are strong
Xiang qin xiang ai wan zhong yi xin (相亲相爱万众一心) (We love each other and we share a vision)

United we stay, forever and ever
That's the way it's gonna be

Repeat Chorus (x1)

Bridge Sketch:
Ean: Dude, JJ!
JJ: Yes Ean.
Ean: You know what part is this in the song?
JJ: Yes, it's the part where they go one key higher.
Ean: Okay, we'll be quiet now okay?
JJ: Yeah, 'coz we can't sing but everyone else, one key higher!

Repeat Chorus (x2)

End: Eh, dah habis? Saya nanyi bila?
Eh engkau dah tua dah.
Engkau dengan aku tak nanyi.
Tepuk tangan je.

Really love the song.

Hope everyone is somehow celebrating our National Day!
SATU MALAYSIA
