Tudung Periuk

Tudung Periok is an original song from Tan Sri P. Ramlee and also Puan Sri Saloma.

It is a 1957 song from the movie Sumpah Orang Minyak (Curse of the Oil People). Oh! Oh it's like that. The lyrics should be a bit deep.

Tudung periuk pandai menari..( The lid of the pot is good at dancing ..)

Meaning when the rice we cooked had boiled and sealed until the lid danced on the lip of the pot earlier, but the rice that became the rice still did not fall to the ground. It gives meaning elders Previous Malay defend this homeland from falling into the hands of foreign nations Although also forced to risk their lives for the sake of our children and grandchildren in the future so as not hungry and sad.

Menarilah tarian putera mahkota. (Dance the crown prince dance.)

Mean follow orders and to raise the degree of loyalty to the Malay race as king to rule the country. But in the next verse gives a very sad meaning.

Kainlah yang buruk berilah kami untuk mengelap si air mata. (Give us the bad cloth to wipe away the tears ..)

It carries a meaning that really disappoints the hopes of the ancients when the meaning of the cloth is bad give us. means the Malay race today so expect compassion can take shelter at home despite having lost in their own land, and live in anguish, looking at all that are defended by the elders wilt have fallen into foreign nations. Updates could only cry wilt see the pride of the nation has been taken by foreigners. 

Deep is not the meaning of the lyrics of the song. Finally, I can also understand the meaning I want to convey. So there is sadness when you know the story.
