Malique Layu translation
Aku lihat layu dalam Melayu
I see withering in Malay race
Aku pasti bukan aku seorang saja yang nampak
I'm sure that I'm not the only one who can see it
Ada juga bercadang bertanya tuan punya
I've been thinking just to ask them
Tapi bercampur risau dengan tak tergamak
But I'm feeling worried and reluctant
Nanti dikata tak bersyukur, dikata tak sedar diri
That people may called me an ingratitude and arrogant person
Jadi aku menyendiri, memerhati dan akhirnya mengakui
So I take a step back, observing and finally admit
Yang kita sendiri
That we're the one
Membiarkan bunga raya melayu ke kanan
Who let the hibiscus flowers withering to the right
Dan dibiar bunga tak cantik mekar di kiri
And let the ugly flowers blooming to the left
Aku lihat layu dalam Melayu
I see withering in Malay race
Tanah air kita yang punya
This land belong to us
Kita siram, kita baja tapi angin api kita lupa
We watered it, fertilized it but ignored the wind and fire risks
Mereka merancang masa menjilat bangsa
They planned for a long time to weaken us
13 harimau bertukar menjadi mangsa
13 tigers became the victims
Kita lupa nenek moyang kaya-raya
We forgot that our ancestors are rich and prosperous
Jangan sekali-kali digadai harta-bendanya
So never ever pawn carelessly this treasures
Ku lihat layu dalam Melayu
I see withering in Malay race
Ku lihat layu dalam Melayu
I see withering in Malay race
Ku lihat layu dalam Melayu
I see withering in Malay race
Takkan Melayu hilang di dunia
Malays will never extinct from this world
Ya... tapi apa guna tak hilang di dunia
Yeah... but what's the point of this
Kalau kewujudan tidak dirasa
If the existence is not being noticed
Petah berbahasa kudrat tak berjasa
Fluently speaking but do nothing at all
Orang berbudi kita hanya tahu merasa
People helping but just accepting it and never return it back
Selalu lari bila dirapat
Always running away when people come close
Selalu malu bila soalan diaju
Always shy to answer when question being asked
Selalu segan memberi pendapat
Always shy to give opinions
Rela mengikut dari meneraju
Rather following than being in the lead
Belum nyanyi sudah bersorak
Not even start singing yet but already cheering loudly
Suka berjanji dalam borak
Love to make promises when talking
Bukan kata tak ada otak
I'm sure they already have brain to use
Cuma tak berfikir di luar kotak
But they never think outside of the box
Ku lihat layu dalam Melayu
I see withering in Malay race
Ku lihat layu dalam Melayu
I see withering in Malay race
Ku lihat layu dalam Melayu
I see withering in Malay race
Aku jadi sayu
I'm feeling sad
Bunga menangis dia mendayu
The flower crying but they just whispering silently
Mahu jadi cantik tetapi ragu
Want to be pretty but still have much doubts
Aku merayu
I'm begging
Bangunlah semula hidup kembali
Wake up back and feels alive
Jangan tunggu matahari mati
Don't wait until the sun gone
Cepatlah mekar sebelum terlerai
Let us bloom before all is gone
Perjuangan kita belum selesai
Our fight is still not done yet
Perjuangan kita belum selesai
Our fight is still not done yet
Perjuangan kita belum selesai
Our fight is still not done yet
