Kru
|
The brothers' interest for creating music was sparked when they were very young, when an aunt bought Norman a keyboard. They spent their teens in London, where they were exposed to various genres of music, in stark contrast to the Malay music scene at that time which was dominated by classic rock and ballads...( yawn ) Thankfully, one of Norman's college mates sent a demo to EMI. The manager liked the song and called the brothers to audition. Thus, KRU was born. "KRU" is not an acronym but the Malay spelling of the word "crew". The brothers also began KRU Records, a music publishing company releasing their own recordings as well as those of other artists.
Gerenti Beres is the first single in KRU's 13th album entitled '10 Diskalarichter'. The lyric talks about how guys fatten up their bank accounts to impress girls. However, the music video reverses the roles of the sexes. In the video, you see how girls need to fatten up their bank accounts to impress the KRU guys. Norman the eldest brother played an eligible bachelor all handsome up in his baju Melayu and a young lady by the name of Fieza comes proposing to him with a red Ferrari. The guys even visit beauty saloons and I am so tickled to see them screaming as they have the hair on their legs pulled out as part of the beauty regimen, ouch! So this can happen if women become dominant, ha ha ha! The lyric of this pop tango is written by Edry.
Mengantuk dah dengar “…ku cinta padamu…”
Bored of hearing :" I love you..."
Bermodal kata manis mulut
What you have is sweet talk
Oh abang itu tak cukup!
Oh dear that isn't enough
Jikalau kau mahu ku diserang ‘angau’
If you want me to be 'smitten'
Harus kibarkanlah sedikit
You should wave a few
Kipas berdaun wang ringgit
Fans with leaves made of Ringgit
Usah susah-payah panjang lebar celoteh
Don't bother to blab a lot
Kerana diri ini dah letih
Coz I am already tired of
Mendengar janji setinggi langit
listening to guys promising me the moon
Sedangkan pada mulanya saja beriya
Although initially you always say yes
Nanti dah jemu aku dibiar bingung kecewa
Then you become tired of me, leaving me confused and disappointed
( chorus )
Bukan terlalu memilih
I am not being too choosy
Dalam mencari kekasih
In my quest for a lover
Cuma adat lelaki mereka pergi mencari lain
It is just a custom of men to look for another
Sekurang-kurangnya nanti
At least wait until
Punya hasil baru ku puas hati
You have the results only then I am satfisfied
Kau perlu buktikan dulu
You need to prove it first
Baru cintaku…gerenti beres
Only then my love...is guaranteed to work
( End of Chorus )
Setampan Salman Khan pun aku tak hairan
I am not impressed even if you were as handsome as Salman Khan
Kau tak akan punya peluang
You will not have a single chance
Jika akaun bank kering-kontang
If your bank account is 'dry'
Andainya ada hati nak temu janji
If you really want a date
Pastikan hotel bintang lima
Make sure it is at a five star hotel
Bukan warung kaki lima
Not at a road side stall
Ramai dah gagal berbuah tangankan mawar
Many that came in vain with roses as gifts
Itupun setahun sekali
That happens once a year
Hanya pada hari kekasih
Only on Valentine's Day
Mataku hanya akan silau kilauan permata
My eyes will twinkle only at a glittering gem
Selepas itu barulah diriku engkau empunya
Only after that I am yours
( Chorus )
Ketika ditemuduga seluruh kerabat keluarga
When being interviewed by the whole family
Katakan kau seorang doktor, majistret atau lawyer
Say that you are a doctor, magistrate or lawyer
Ahli muzik tak main, satu sen pun tak laku
A musician wouldn't do, not worth even one cent
Jika diriku yang kau mahu
If it is me that you want
Pastikan rombongan dipenuhi hantaran
Make sure that your team come with gifts
Dengan sebiji Ferrari merah, barulah kau nampak gah
And a red Ferrari, only then you will look great
Muka selipar jepun pun boleh jadi lawa
Even your 'Japanese Slipper' face can become cute.
Kau buat ku jatuh cinta
You make me fall in love
(Repeat Chorus)
