Lyrics
Di mana dia yang ku tunggu
Pelita hati ku membisu Jawabkanlah keluhan hati ku Namun hilang rindu di kalbu
Kini harapan ku impian Ikatan cinta di khayalan Apa daya ku terus merana Kerana yang ditunggu tak tiba
Sunyi sepi hai alam ku pandang Meresap di jiwa ku Mana janji dan sumpah setia Kau beri mula dulu Apakan daya ku derita Rang bulan pun turut bersama Angin sepoi bagaikan berkata Kerana yang ditunggu tak tiba
Sunyi sepi hai alam ku pandang Meresap di jiwa ku Mana janji dan sumpah setia Kau beri mula dulu Apakan daya ku derita Rang bulan pun turut bersama Angin sepoi bagaikan berkata Kerana yang ditunggu tak tiba
English Translation
Where is the one I'm waiting for The light of my heart is silent Answer my heart's grievances But the longing is gone in my heart
Now my hope is my dream The bond of love in my imagination What my power continues to languish Because what I waited for did not arrive
Silent, my nature is my view Permeates in my soul Where is the promise and Oath of allegiance You give first What is my power to suffer Rang bulan is also with The calm wind is like saying Because what is awaited does not arrive
Silent, oh my nature, my gaze permeates my soul Where is the promise and oath of allegiance You give first What is my power to suffer Rang bulan also together The breeze is like saying Because what is expected has not arrived
Kuala Lumpur was written by P.Ramlee. Tan SriDatuk AmarTeuku Zakaria Bin Teuku Nyak Puteh (later Ramlee Bin Puteh) (22 March 1929 – 29 May 1973), better known by his stage name P. Ramlee (Puteh Ramlee),[1] was a Malaysian actor, filmmaker, musician, and composer.[2] Due to his contributions to the film and music industry and his literary work, which began with his acting debut in Singapore in 1948, to the height of his career and then later moving to Malaysia in 1964 to his decline and death, he is regarded as a prominent icon of Malay entertainment. His fame has reached as far as Brunei, Sumatra, Indonesia, as well as in Hong Kong and Japan.
Ramlee was born on 22 March 1929 to Teuku Nyak Puteh Bin Teuku Karim (1902–1955) and Che Mah Binti Hussein (1904–1967). His father, Teuku Nyak Puteh, is a decendant of a wealthy family in Aceh, travelled from Lhokseumawe in Aceh, Indonesia, to settle in Penang, where his father married his mother, who is hailed from Kubang Buaya, Butterworth.
Ramlee received his education from the Sekolah Melayu Kampung Jawa (Kampung Jawa Malay School), Francis Light English School and then to Penang Free School; in all he was registered as "Ramlee" in school, because his name Teuku Zakaria was not suitable with other children at that time. Reportedly a reluctant and naughty student, Ramlee was nevertheless talented and interested in music and football. His studies at the Penang Free School was interrupted by the Japanese occupation from 1942 to 1945, during which he enrolled in the Japanese navy school (Kaigun). He also learnt the basics of music and to sing Japanese songs during this period. When the war ended, he took music lessons that enabled him to read musical notations.
Ramlee's first screen appearance was in 1948's Chinta, a B. S. Rajhans-directed film produced by Malay Film Productions. Between 1948 and 1955, he has starred in a total of 27 films. He eventually ventured into film directing under the mentoring of Madras-born director L. Krishnan.
Before dawn of 29 May 1973, P. Ramlee died at the age of 44 from a heart attack and was buried at Jalan Ampang Muslim Cemetery, in Kuala Lumpur.
In 1986, 13 years after his death, in honour of his contributions to the Malaysian entertainment industry, the P. Ramlee Memorial or Pustaka Peringatan P. Ramlee was built in his home in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur. In 1982, the street Jalan Parry, in the center of Kuala Lumpur, was renamed Jalan P. Ramlee in his honour. In 1990, he was posthumously awarded the Malaysian honorific title Tan Sri, and then in 2009, the honorific title of "Datuk Amar" by Sarawak State Government. Then Chief Minister of Sarawak, Abdul Taib Mahmud, an avid fan of Ramlee, presented the award to his adopted daughter, Dian P. Ramlee, in a ceremony honouring veteran artists in Kuching.
The P. Ramlee House is a museum situated along Jalan P. Ramlee (formerly Caunter Hall road) in Penang, Malaysia. The building is a restored wooden house that was originally built in 1926 by his father and uncle. The house had previously undergone multiple repairs before being taken over by the National Archives as an extension of its P. Ramlee Memorial project in Kuala Lumpur. Items on display at the house include personal memorabilia related to his life in Penang and items belonging to his family.
On 22 March 2017; his 88th birthday, Google honored P. Ramlee with a Doodle on the Malaysian Google homepage.
P. Ramlee composed a total of 401 songs and was involved in 66 films throughout his career.

Lyrics Di hujung sana tempatmu, bunga melur Bukan di taman yang indah, bunga melur Hanya di sudut halaman Tiada dihiasi jambangan indah permai
Tapi warnamu yang putih, bunga melur Tandanya suci dan murni, bunga melur Walaupun ditiup debu Warnamu dan baumu tetap memikat kalbu
Ibarat gadis desa, bunga melur Sederhana... Walau kering tak bercahaya, bunga melur Baumu memikat jiwa
Semoga sabar dahulu, bunga melur Pada di satu ketika, bunga melur Masanya kan menjelma Disanjung dan dipuja Oleh gadis remaja
English Translation At the other end of your place, jasmine flowers Not in a beautiful garden, jasmine flowers Only in the corner of the yard Not decorated with beautiful vases But your color is white, jasmine flowers The sign is holy and pure, jasmine flowers Although blown by dust Your color and smell still captivate the heart Like a village girl, a simple jasmine flower ... Although dry and not luminous, jasmine flowers Your smell captivates the soul Please be patient first, jasmine flowers At one point, jasmine flowers It's time to incarnate Admired and adored By teenage girls
