One day while I was driving when I heard the song Sonata Musim Salju aired in Sinar FM. Yes, Sinar FM is one of my favourite radio channels because there are many wonderful Malay songs that I grew up in that are often being played.
This song is the Malay version of Winter Sonata, an evergreen popular Korean drama. Salju also gives a feel that the winter is a very sad one.
English translation for the lyrics of Sonata Musim Salju by Hazami
Saat ku merindukan dirimu
The second I miss you
Jiwa meronta kau ku damba
My soul struggled you I want
Oh gerhanalah seluruh pancaindera
Oh my senses are elipsed
Ku hilang dalam memori cinta
I’m lost in the memory of love
Membakar seluruh jiwa raga
Blazing through my heart and soul
Hanya kau untukku
Only you for me
Kau tiada dua
You (and) no second (person)
Bagaikan siang tiada mentari
Like the day without the sun
Bagai malam tiada cahaya purnama
Like the night without the moonlight
Tanpamu tiada erti hidup berdua
Without you there is no meaning living (with another companion)
Ke akhir masa kau ku cinta
Till the end of time it is you that I love
Bagaikan syurga tanpa bidadari
Just like the Heavens without angels
Kau ibarat hembusan nafas terakhir
You are like the last breath
Pulanglah sayang usah kau berpaling
Come back my love, don’t turn away
Di sini ku pasrah menanti
Here I willingly wait
Dikau bak salju ditiup bayu
You are like the snow being blown by the breeze
Kan rebah di pangkuan bumi
Sure would fall back to the earth
Ku yakini kasih
I am convinced my love
Restu Illahi
With blessings from the above.
Bagaikan siang tiada mentari
Just like the Heavens without angels
Bagai malam tiada cahaya purnama
Like the night without the moonlight
Tanpamu tiada erti hidup berdua
Without you there is no meaning living (with another companion)
Ke akhir masa kau ku cinta
Till the end of time it is you that I love
Bagaikan syurga tanpa bidadari
Just like the Heavens without angels
Kau ibarat hembusan nafas terakhir
You are like the last breath
Pulanglah sayang usah kau berpaling
Come back my love, don’t turn away
Di sini ku pasrah menanti
Here I anxiously wait
Ku doa kau hadir
I pray that you come
Permaisuri mahligaiku
The queen of my castle
Hidup mati cinta kita bersama
Live and die our love together
Bagaikan siang tiada mentari
Just like the Heavens without angels
Bagai malam tiada cahaya purnama
Like the night without the moonlight
Tanpamu tiada erti hidup berdua
Without you there is no meaning living (with another companion)
Ke akhir masa kau ku cinta
Till the end of time it is you that I love
Bagaikan syurga tanpa bidadari
Just like the Heavens without angels
Kau ibarat hembusan nafas terakhir
You are like the last breath
Pulanglah sayang usah kau berpaling
Come back my love, don’t turn away
Di sini ku pasrah menanti
Here I willingly wait
