The National Dream ~ Mimpi Negara
| Here's our FAVOURITE (right...) Junior College's song...
Building a family, Membina keluarga, To answer a nation's calling, Untuk menjawab panggillan negara, Students of old will always be, Bekas pelajar sentiasa menjadi, The beacon in our dreams. Cahaya di dalam mimpi. The National Torch, Obor Negara, The stream of light, Sejalur cahaya, We pass from year to year, Dituruni tahun ke tahun, The best of the old, Kehebatan tua, And the best of the young, Kehebatan muda, Prepared to serve and lead, Bersedia melayan dan mengetua, With common vision, Kita sama visi, Aspiration, Aspirasi, Strength from memories, Kekuatan dari memori, The National Dream, Mimpi Negara, Fulfilled for all to see. Dicapai; disaksi semua. Embracing our destinies, Menerima takdir kita, Standing with colours blazing, Berdiri dengan api marak berwarna, (fast step) Shoulder to shoulder, Bahu ke bahu, Friends are we, Kita berkawan, Honouring our creed. Memuliakan kepercayaan. The National Torch, Obor Negara, The stream of light, Sejalur cahaya, We pass from year to year, Dituruni tahun ke tahun, The best of the old, Kehebatan tua, And the best of the young, Kehebatan muda, Prepared to serve and lead, Bersedia melayan dan mengetua, With common vision, Kita sama visi, Aspiration, Aspirasi, Strength from memories, Kekuatan dari memori, The National Dream, Mimpi Negara, Fulfilled for all to see. Dicapai; disaksi semua. Hee hee... Try singing the Malay version with the tune... It works!... Thanks to Kim for this... Sorry I modified it a bit... Signing off, ~Hobbit Skywalker~ |

post a commentTatabahasa check! Some suggestions to perfect the Malay version...
The beacon in our dreams: Can it be 'cahaya dalam mimpi' please? Mimpi is not a concrete location IMHO...
A stream of light: It's correct but I think 'Jalur cahaya' will do.
We pass from year to year: Kita turuni tahun ke tahun
Prepared to serve and lead: Sedia berkhidmat dan memimpin. Or mengetua. Depends if you can get the tune right. But I think memimpin lebih class lah.
With common vision: Berkongsi visi... I think this sounds classier.
Strength from memories: Daripada! It's faster but I think it can work...
Embracing our destinies; standing with colours blazing;... friends are we; honouring our creed: I dunno but these just sound off and don't seem to make sense. Maybe we should be less literal with the translation. Any ideas?
Contribute! See if we can propose a Malay version next year haha. Or maybe we should just sing it as a private joke in school. Who knows, eh?
Dowan!!!
Hmph! Ape-ape je lah! KELAS gitu... Kalau AKU... Kung chinga-chinga akalabungs! Kungs! Bakas punya urang!
