Papan congkak dari seberang
Mari di main bersama-sama
Tinggal kenanga duduk seorang
Setelah harum begitu lama
Duduk bermain bersama-sama
Sudut apit, dam dan serembang
Setelah harum begitu lama
Madu di-hisap, sepah di-buang
Sudut apit, dam dan serembang
Rancak meniti di-sempadan
Madu di-hisap, sepah di-buang
Adat lebah datang bertandang
Rancak meniti di-sempadan
Lama kelamaan habis kalah
Adat lebah datang bertandang
Selang sehari salah langkah
Lama kelamaan habis kalah
Berbaris menanti ditepi papan
Selang sehari salah langkah
Asyik merayu penuh igauan
Dahan yang patah tak tumbuh lagi...
The flower, all alone
The flower, left to wither alone
Her beautiful scent all gone
When regret comes forth
The flower is no more
And never will it bloom again...
La fleur, seule
La fleur, laissé tout seul
Son beau parfum diminué
Lorsque regret sort
La fleur n'est pas plus
Et il ne pourra jamais fleurir de nouveau ...

Di-rumah arwah nenek, sebatang pokok kenanga subur indah
duduk di-tepi tangga. Anjung rumah harum sepanjang hari.
Namun pokok kenanga tidak dapat pindah ke rumah lain.

It sounds good and it looks good but I cannot get the 'kaitan' here. Jahil sungguh hamba ini.
Dear Pakcik,
The inspiration is from my childhood. But the feelings are in quandary. It shall remain a secret alas...hopefully many will enjoy the flow of language.
A bit like Mona Lisa's smile.
Enjoyed the flow of language allright.. but do the ending have to be that sad?..
Dear Ayoh Wang,
Will all that was happening, sadness was the way to go.
Feeling much better now with next book LEGENDS FROM THE MAKYUNG on the way. Love research work and Makyung is simply lovely.
How is MAHA?
Dahan patah tak tumbuh lagi,
Menanti masa berlalu pergi,
Patah tumbuh hilang berganti,
Berserah sentiasa pada illahi.
Saudara Nuar,
You are right. Berserah pada Illahi. The sadness passed.
