"Understand the lyric of that song ( Biarlah Rahsia) if you want to know about Siti's love story," that was what Siti Nurhaliza told Utusan Malaysia before her relationship with her now husband Datuk K became public knowledge.
Composed by Indonesian singer/songwriter Melly Goeslow and lyric penned by Siti herself, this song describes obsctacles faced by two people in love. The song seems to imply there are people who disagree with Siti's choice and she is asking whoever it is to understanding her feelings.
Obviously Siti had overcome her obstacles and this song became one of her biggest singles. Wan is not really keen about romantic love themes but the subsequent ripples created are interesting.
It was a blue moon when I watched Channel 16 on Astro aimlessly. I was getting bored then this young lady appeared on a slot of Akademi Fantasia and instantly her voice electrified me . Later, I found out she is Farhan. It will not be fair to compare Siti and Farhan's performance of the same song - One is a very professional singer with numerous prestigious awards and the other is still an unpolished star. But here, just for the fun of enjoying voices of raw talent, I display Farhan's version and also of another young guy...aren't they great? :)
Pernahkah kau bermimpi seketika
Have you ever dreamt for a moment
berada di tempatku?
to be in my shoes?
membayangkan pahit manis berlalu
thinking of the bitterness and sweetness that we have gone through
entah siapa yang tahu
not knowing who understands
mungkin nanti kau jua merasakan
maybe later you will also taste what is it like
berdepan dengan kata menyesatkan
to face with confusing talks
Takkan tugumu kebal, tiada pertimbangan
You will not make your fortress impenetrable, without consideration.
Chorus 1 -keheningan malam membangunkan
The silence of the night agitates me
kepayahan jiwa meluahkan
The difficulty to pour out my heart
andai kau jujur memahami
If you are sincere and understanding
tiada kumenjauhi
I will not keep a distance from you
-end of Chorus 1
Chorus 2- dan kisahku yang masih panjang
and my story that still has a long way to go
menambahkan berat yang memandang
saddens those who watch it
lantas kupendam, kuputuskan
Then I keep it to myself, I have decided
biarlah rahsia
let it remain a secret
-end of Chorus 2
semakin aku hidup dalam cinta
The more I live to be in love
tiada kuasa mampu menghalangnya
no power can prevail over it
hentikan kata-kata bertulangkan dusta
stop all the sayings based on lies
Repeat Chorus 1
Repeat Chorus 2 twice
Can you imagine a guy putting himself in Siti's situation...? He's pretty good.
