Rasa Sayang

Rasa Sayang Lyrics

Rasa sayang, hey!,
Rasa sayang sayang hey,
Hey lihat nona jauh,
Rasa sayang sayang hey!

Buah cempedak di luar pagar,
Ambil galah tolong jolokkan,
Saya budak baru belajar,
Kalau salah tolong tunjukkan,

Pulau pandan jauh ke tengah,
Gunung daik bercabang tiga,
Hancur badan dikandung tanah,
Budi yang baik dikenang juga,

Dua tiga kucing berlari,
Mana sama si kucing belang,
Dua tiga boleh ku cari,
Mana sama abang seorang,

Pisang emas dibawa berlayar,
Masak sebiji di atas peti,
Hutang emas boleh dibayar,
Hutang budi dibawa mati,

Rasa Sayang means "Feel Love" in English. It is a popular song in the world. Japanese people also sang this song in the movie titled Marai no tora. I made this entry due to Muhammad Darius Shah mention about the Rasa Sayang song in the previous entry.

Sayang is Love

Do you know Rasa Sayang song has caused controversy? What's wrong with Rasa Sayang song? Actually there is nothing wrong until 2007 when Malaysia use the Rasa Sayang song as the theme for Truly Asia tourism campaign. Indonesia claims Rasa Sayang song was originated from Maluku.

Rasa Sayange (Maluku version) Lyrics

Rasa sayange,
Rasa sayang sayange,
Eeee lihat dari jauh,
Rasa sayang sayange!

Mana kancil akan dikejar,
Ke dalam pasar cubalah cari,
Masih kecil rajin belajar,
Sudah besar senanglah diri,
rojakpunya.blogspot.com
Si Amat mengaji tamat,
Mengaji Qur'an di waktu fajar,
Biar lambat asal selamat,
Takkan lari gunung dikejar,

Kalau ada sumur di ladang,
Boleh kita menumpang mandi,
Kalau ada umurku panjang,
Boleh kita berjumpa lagi,

The composer of this song is unknown so there is no proof Rasa Sayang song is originated from Maluku. What the fuss? Don't fight because of this song. Rasa Sayang is a song of Kepulauan Nusantara (Malay Archipelago) since there is no proof whether it was originated from Malaysia or Indonesia.


Rasa Sayang Hindi version (1959)


Rasa Sayang Cantonese version


Rasa Sayange Maluku version


Rasa Sayang in cartoon version

I don't care if this song was originated in Malaysia or Indonesia or any other country in the world. I repeat Rasa Sayang means Feel Love so no quarrel between Malaysia and Indonesia. Based on the lyric of Rasa Sayang, I think the objective of this song is to spread the love and peace to the world. A vibrant rhythm to be heard, good lyrics about love and what else? It's fun to sing together!
