Keroncong Kuala Lumpur, by Tan Sri P Ramlee

It's the Malaysia season (August-September. What year? Every year. Gee, you ask a silly question ...)

So here's a link to Keroncong Kuala Lumpur, part of the Anak Bapak film (1968), sung by the late Tan Sri P Ramlee. It's his tribute to the Malaysian ideal.




Lyrics:
Kuala Lumpur, ibu negara Malaysia,
Aman serta makmur, setelah Merdeka,
Tanah subur, hasilnya kaya-raya,
Jadi kebanggaan kejayaan bangsa.

Rakyat sehati sejiwa,
Satu bahasa, satu bangsa, 
Tanda kegagahan negara,
Malaysia merdeka.

Waktu malam, cahaya menjulang tinggi,
Parlimen tersergam, lambang demokrasi

(Instrumental)

Waktu malam, cahaya menjulang tinggi,
Parlimen tersergam, lambang demokrasi.
