Sabda Alam

I was in the bus yesterday and had the most random thought. Seriously could not tell myself why it popped up but the song title "Sabda Alam" was suddenly in my mind. The funny thing was that I could not place who was the singer and how the song went. I guess that's what people have been saying about the fact that you don't forget things, but they are just dusting in the deepest nook of your mind to be rediscover some time later.

Anyways a little googling and youtubing brought me to know that the song was written by Ismail Marzuki, sung by Chrisye. I don't really like the Chrisye version, I've never been a fan of him to tell the truth. But, I'm satisfied the rendition by Afghan :)

The lyrics is fantastic. We don't have anything like that anymore. I wish I can write like that. I wonder now what other songs did Ismail Marzuki write....

Kicau Burung Bernyanyi
Tanda Buana Membuka Hari
Dan Embunpun Memudar
Menyongsong Fajar

Sejenak Kuterlena
Akan Kehidupan Yang Fana
Nikmat Alam Semesta
Nusa Indah Nirmala

Reff;
Serasa Pagi Tersenyum Mesra
Bertiup Bayu Membangkit Sukma
Adakah Esok Kau Senyum Jua
Memberi Hangatnya Sejuta Rasa

Sabda Alam
Menghanyutkan Suasanaku
Kadangkala Kebosanan
Mencekam Jiwa…
Sabda Alam
Berbuat Kodrat Tak Tertahan
Rasa Nista, Rasa CintaBerpadu Satu…
