My City
I have been listening to this song lately; while I don't exactly live in Kuala Lumpur, I have had enough experience to want to stay away from it (just to avoid the noise, busy life and crazy traffic). Anyway, I just thought it would be fun to loosely translate another local song.
I really love how poetic the words can be. It's really fun.
KOTARAYAKU (My City) - by Ultimet featuring Noh Hujan
Oh My city
A thousand and one tales
Forever engraved in your streets
This is the city that often says
If you're bold come and try me out
Who wants to be dared in everything
The city welcomes you with open arms
"What are your intentions?", when asked
The city will smile nonchalantly
Whatever you want, they're all poison
Come into my abode, come in, come in
So many secrets kept within
So many true stories with witnesses/victims
Some failures, some successes
Some just passing by, some achieving goals
Some are wealthy beyond belief
With too little rice but too much gravy
Some are lucky and some are unfortunate
Same old story with different characters
In Kuala Lumpur
--CHORUS--
Oh Kuala Lumpur
You never sleep
Nursing/Waking * fading dreams
Oh my city
A thousand and one tales
Forever engraved in your streets
In the city of two faces
It says honey but feeds you vinegar
After a caress, it breaks your heart
Steps on you after entertaining you
It swallows you in and quickly spits you out
A temporary affair with neverending regrets
Flashing lights blinding your hearts
Living a fast life in slow traffic
It doesn't joke but it is consistently laid back*
Scenery changes when the night descends
Watching the unwanted youths
Racing onwards on horsepower
Don't misbehave, try to fight back worries*
A lit candle and chasing ***** vapours
Where many have failed in its trials
Many still dare to challenge it
In Kuala Lumpur
--CHORUS--
I rest on its sidewalks
That has become a stop to reflect thoughts
I realized the city is only a theater
A live opera playing on its stage
--CHORUS--

Coward
Layan lagu Melayu jap.
Penakut (Coward)
(Loose translation)
Not everything falls into your plan
Maybe luck just wasn't on my side
I don't know why it's you that I love
Maybe it's better to let you go
It's not fair, not fair, oh, for him/her
This isn't fair, isn't fair, oh, for me
It's not fair for you to ask
If I love you too
It's not fair, not fair, oh, for him/her
You never tried to understand me
The love you proclaimed, you never show
And the moment I am lost
A burden you never tried to lift
It's not fair, not fair, oh, for him/her
This isn't fair, isn't fair, oh, for me
It's not fair for you to ask
If I love you too
You are not mine
And I am a coward
Admitting my love for you
A thousand times I tried to say it
when I'm with you
You are not mine
And you know it
You are not mine
