This song is titled Hijau by Zainal Abidin. Its a Malay song but don't worry, I'll translate for everyone's convenience. I only translate the 1st part before the chorus. The chorus I don't really know how to translate becoz its not in Malay; its in jawa(if i not wrong). The song is on the left side of the blog.
Hijau-: Translation:
Bumi yang tiada rimba;.... Earth that have no forest
Seumpama hamba;....... ....Like slave
Dia dicemar manusia;....... Polluted by humans
Yang jahil ketawa;............. Who laughs evilly
Bumi yang tiada udara;..... Earth that have no oxygen
Bagai tiada nyawa;............. Like no life
Pasti hilang suatu hari;..... Will surely disappear one day
Tanpa disedari,.................. Without knowing
Bumi tanpa lautan;............ Earth without sea/ocean
Akan kehausan;.................. Will be thirsty
Pasti lambat laun hilang;... Will disappear bit by bit
Duniaku yang malang;........ My suffering world
Dewasa ini;.......................... ............................This adulthood
Kita saling merayakan;...... .............................We will celebrate
Kejayaan yang akhirnya membinasakan;...... Work that finally destroyed
Apalah gunanya;............................................. What's the use
Kematangan Fikiran;...................................... Of mature thinking?
Bila dijiwa;................................... When our soul
Kita masih lagi muda;................. Still young
Dan mentah;................................ And fresh
Ku lihat hijau;............................. I see greenery
That's the song... Well maybe you guys can't understand it but nevermind. I'll explain. This song; Hijau which is green in malay, mainly talks about man ruining our Earth and what will happen to Earth in the future if we never considerate about any action now. I feel that the song really describe about the present. Like for instance, global warming that melts the ice in Antarctica and the funny change in climate. However, i wonder, with this type of songs, media, article or even games, will it have any effect to people? I hope so becoz i don't want to live under water or in the moon or even mars.So i hope people out there, who's doing these stuff like deforestation, please stop. Or the producing carbon dioxide which can cause the thinning of the ozone layer. Well, that's my thought about this topic. Hope you guys like the song. :D
