Ketawalah Lagi @ Songkok Mereng

a ha ha hai...
a ha ha hai...
ketawalah lagi....

these are the lyrics to a great traditional Malay song. the title of this song literally means 'laugh some more'. The song has two different titles, but share the same lyrics.  Some artists refer this song as "Ketawalah Lagi", and others refer this song as "Songkok Mereng". but, either way, this song is great!

walking gracefully, 
with his tilted songkok -
tilted, dear 
 - and smiling too.

handsome, dark-skinned
glancing at me - 
glancing, dear
 - and laughing 


where to?
(literal) taller are the weeds than the rice stalks

not much of a beauty
dear, 
the heart only falls 
for courteousness  

here's the actual song, sung by two of Malaysia's great artiste; Siti Nurhaliza and Noraniza Idris.
