Today Muse's going to translate a current hit Manglish song titled KANTOI by Zee Avi for ya all. So that everyone could enjoy it better knowing exactly what's the meaning/content of the song.
Shall try my very best not to screw the translation up kay. So pardon me if there's any mistakes in it.
Notes:
Original Lyrics - Shall be bolded and in black font
English Translation - Shall be in italized and in red font
Here goes nothing...
KANTOI
Semalam I call you, you tak answer
You kata you keluar pergi dinner
You kata you keluar dengan kawan you
But when I called Tommy he said it wasn’t true
Yesterday when I called you, you didn't answer
You said you went out for dinner
You said you went out with friends
But when I called Tommy he said it wasn't true
So I drove my car pergi Damansara
Tommy kata maybe you tengok bola
Tapi bila i sampai, you tak ada
Lagilah i jadi gila!
So I drove my car to Damansara (a place in Kuala Lumpur)
Tommy said maybe you went to watch a soccer match
But when I arrive there, you wasnt' there
Hence I became madder
So I called and called sampai you answer
You kata, ‘Sorry, sayang. Tadi tak dengar.
My phone was on silent, i was at the gym.”
Tapi latar belakang suara perempuan lain.
So I called and called until you answered
You said, 'Sorry darling, didn't hear it just now
My phone was on silent, I was at the gym.'
But the background has another woman's voice
Sudahlah, sayang, I don’t believe you
I’ve always known that your words were never true
Why am I with you? I pun tak tahu
No wonderlah my friends pun tak suka
It's over darling, I don't believe you
I've always known that your words were never true
Why am I with you? Even I myself don't know why
No wonder even my friends don't like you
So I guess that’s the end of our story
Akhir kata she accepted his apology
Tapi last-last kita dapat tahu she was cheating too
With her ex-boyfriend’s best friend…
Tommy
So I guess that's the end of our story
Lastly she accepted his apology
But in the end we got to know she was cheating too
With her ex-boyfriend's best friend...
Tommy
Kantoi
Busted!
- End of Lyris/Translation -
That's all folks ;) Hope you all enjoyed it as much as Muse did. Tell me what you think kay. Cuz Muse thinks that this Manglish song's very refreshing, fun and unique. This is true Malaysian flavour.
Later then... Bye

2007年8月31日今天是马来西亚的国庆日。
我就在老街咖啡馆里度过了一天。顺便顶一下自己的部落阁。好久没来写些东西了,再多的文采也都生锈了。
没有朋友,没有家人,没有爱人在身边陪伴的日子,虽然自在可是不多不少也多了份寂寞,孤独。有时真怀疑自己是不是快得自闭症了。我是一个想很多的人。常常在看一场戏时就可以想得很多很多。 最近有点开始着迷于大陆内地电视剧。“我是一棵小草”,“十八岁的天空”,“又见一廉幽梦”等等。。。。看了都感触满多的。
一个人可以流浪在外固然可以自由自在,可是却需要一份勇气。有谁可以那么不顾一切的,不问世事的想到哪里就去哪里。。。流浪是需要勇气的。或许就因为没有找到那份动力,所以就没有了那份勇气去做自己想做的事。人啊!就是这样。也许。。。流浪也可以是在自己心中,心自由了,哪里都去得了。
生命没有一定的规律,只要活得精彩,活得有意义就算是对的起自己。快乐每天都在我们身边出现,只是我们发现它了吗?它总是静静的陪着我们,总是不断得给我们惊喜。今天你有收到惊喜了吗?
当幸福在我们身边时我们都感受不到她的存在,当她离开我们身边时我们却无时无刻感觉到她的存在。今天就看看自己的身边吧!。。。是不是已经忽略了太多的幸福呢? 现在开始一起学习感恩与珍惜吧!一切都不会太晚。。。每一个明天都是由今天开始。今天就开始说好话,做好人。好话一句三春暖,恶语一言隆冬寒。
我。。。。还是喜欢家的感觉。。。又开始想家了。在这里我始终觉得不踏实。想回家呀!
写于。。。
一个人的午后。
