Sesekali

Twice I heard this moving poem sang by Ras Adiba Radzi. The first time I couldn't get the singer and title. Luckily this morning I heard it and manage to Google and find the beautiful lyrics. The poem is originally written by Lim Swee Tin.

Sesekali, aptly describes what I felt sometimes. Only sometimes :) No matter how difficult meeting and letting go of someone is, it provides the colors to our life.

Sesekali, kalau ku kenangkan
Kita tidak seharusnya bertemu di pantai ini
Biar saja kita bertemu di dalam mimpi
Kerana hidup lebih indah di luar realiti

Sesekali kalau ku kenangkan
Biar saja kita tidak pernah bertemu di dalam mimpi
Kerana mimpi pun bukannya sebuah janji
Biar saja kau tak pernah ada
Kerana, kalaupun ada
Kau akhirnya kan pergi jua

This emotionally stirring poem was sang during one of the fund raising event for Tsunami victims.

Directly translated as below but I think it has lost its beauty.

Sometimes, when I think about it
We're not supposed to meet on this beach
Let us just meet in our dreams
Because life is better outside reality

Sometimes, when I think about it
Let us not meet even in our dreams
Because a dream is not a promise
Let you not exist
Because even if you do
You'll eventually leave.
