I'm sure many of us had sang this song when we're in school those days. Someone had highlighted it even compulsory for new students to sing the song during their orientation week when she was in UITM. The song even made it's way to BTN.
I've never pursue my study in any universities let alone UITM and surely never attend any of the BTN programmes but I couldn't agree more that the lyrics plus its melody was beautifully crafted to give this sense of belonging and could uplift the spirit of nationalism to a new level.
But I wonder when one starts to sing the song did he or she realized the scenarios that happen today are pretty much proportional related?
Anak kecil main api
terbakar hatinya yang sepi
air mata darah bercampur keringat
bumi dipijak milik orang
Nenek moyang kaya raya
tergadai seluruh harta benda
akibat sengketa sesamalah kita
cinta lenyap di arus zaman
Indahnya bumi kita ini
warisan berkurun lamanya
hasil mengalir ketangan yang lain
pribumi merintih sendiri
Masa depan sungguh kelam
kan lenyap peristiwa semalam
tertutuplah hati terkunci mati
maruah peribadi sudah hilang
Kini kita cuma tinggal kuasa
yang akan menentukan bangsa
bersama berbakti
pulih kembali harga diri
Kini kita sudah tiada masa
majulah dengan gagah
janganlah terlalai
teruskan usaha
melayukan gagah dinusantara...
