Hijau~Green

The main post for this week is on the previous post. Pls do read this post if you have the time :)

Since the theme of our research is: GREEN
I could not resist sharing a beutiful song with all of us.
It is one of my favourite songs.
The title of the song is "Hijau" which meens green in malay and is sang by
Zainal Abidin, a great and respected singer from Malaysia.
Below you would find the lyrics and translation for the song. Excuse the direct translation
as I tried my best to translate it into english. Also the chorus labeled with **** is in kelantanese.
Notice the vast difference between normal Malay and Kelantanese malay.

Please do enjoy the song from the player to your right --->
Click to play and enjoy the song :)
