Kenny, Remy & Martin was a well known non Malay group in the 80s and 90s. One of their famous hit song, Suratan Atau Kebetulan (Fate or Coincidence) was a massive hit- I remember there was a drama translated drama series way back in the TV that used this song as a theme song and that time I was hooked to it.
The song was written by Kenny Tay.
Lyrics/Lirik Suratan Atau Kebetulan (Fate or Coincidence) by Kenny, Remy & Martin
Sesuatu yang tak disangka
Something that is unexpected
Seringkali mendatangi kita
always befall us
Itukah suratan dalam kehidupan
Is this fate in life
Atau hanya satu kebetulan
Or only a mere coincidence
Kita asyik membicarakan
We always debate on
Persoalan hidup dan pilihan
Life’s questions and choices
Sedang kejujuran semakin berkurang
While honesty is getting less
Masih tiada bertemu jawapan
Still did not find the answers
VERSE 1
Walau kita dihadapkan
Even though we are faced
Dengan berbagai pilihan
With various choices
Mengapa sering terjadi
Why does it always happen
Pilihan tak menepati
Choices does not fulfill
VERSE 2
Hingga amat menakutkan
Till it is very scary
Menghadapi masa depan
To face the future
Seolah telah terhapus
As if had been destroyed
Sebuah kehidupan yang kudus
A life that is sacred
Pertemuan sekali ini
The meeting this time
Bagi diriku amat bererti
To me is very meaningful
Tetapi ku bimbang untuk menyatakan
But I am worried to say out
Bimbangkan berulang kesilapan
Worry that the mistakes would repeat
(Repeat verse 1)
