Singapore Town, Chan mali chan, 童谣


Singapore Town lyrics
Music & Lyrics: The Sidaislers

You could take a little trip around Singapore town
In Singapore city bus
To see Collyer Quay and Raffles Place
The Esplanade and all of us

Chorus:
Because in Singapore, Singapore
Their hearts are big and wide you’ll find
Because in Singapore, Singapore
You’ll find happiness for everyone

Let’s go down to the riverside, it’s an unforgettable sight
To see the sunrise on a faraway isle, turning darkness into light

( Repeat Chorus )

The buildings are climbing all the way to the sky
And there’s a hundred other people who are striving
For people like you and I

( Repeat Chorus )

Chan Mali chan
Folk Song

Di mana dia anak kambing saya?

Anak kambing saya yang makan daun talas

Di mana dia buah hati saya?

Buah hati saya bagai telur dikupas

Chan mali chan, chan mali chan,

Chan mali chan, ketipung payung (2X)

Di mana dia anak kambing tuan?

Anak kambing tuan di atas jambatan

Yang mana dia bunga pujaan?

Si bunga tanjung dihujung dahan

Chan mali chan, chan mali chan

chan mali chan ketipung payung (2X)

Kalau nak tahu anak kambing saya

Anak kambing saya di dalam bilik

Kalau nak tahu intan payung saya

Intan payung saya yang kecil lah molek

Di mana dia anak kambing tuan?

Anak kambing tuan yang bulunya kuning

Yang mana dia buah hati tuan?

Buah hati tuan yang putih lah kuning

dimana dia anak kambing saya?
anak kambing saya yang makan daun talas
dimana dia buah hati saya?
buah hati saya bagai telur dikupas
(Chorus)
chan mali chan, chan mali chan

di mana dia anak kambing tuan?
anak kambing tuan di atas jambatan
yang mana dia si bunga pujaan?
si bunga tanjung dihujung dahan
(Chorus)
chan mali chan, chan mali chan
chan mali chan, ketipung payung

the verses of chan mali chan are structurally a four part rhythmic pantun. the first two lines of the pantun is called the pembayang and the last two line of each pantun is the message that the poet really wants to get at. the pembayang lines of the song chan mali chan refer to anak kambing.
in the first stanza, the woman’s skin is described to be as smooth as a peeled hardboiled egg. in the second stanza, she is likened to be a flower which is hard to get because she is located right at the hujung dahan.
ketipung, payung, intan and bunga tanjung are used as references to someone lovely and precious.

Chingay 2011 Theme song: 传灯(Chuan Deng)

This is a very special song written and composed by Singaporean in the 1980s.
This song become famous when it was sang in Malaysia. Many Cultural Events used this song as the theme song.
This year, Chingay 2011 will perform this song with special lights effect.
《传灯》是联合晚报-新明日报统筹总编辑杜南发于1982年作词、张泛作曲谱写而成。28年来在新马一代广泛流传,也是下个月年度妆艺大游行的压轴节目。

《传灯》经中国语言艺术家、中国传媒大学王明军教授改编朗诵后,现场掌声雷鸣,观众还应主持人要求,点亮500盏蜡烛形的灯,象征优良中华精神将传承下去。

王教授说,《传灯》的词令他非常感动。“感触最深的是,‘每一盏灯是一脉香火,把漫长的黑夜渐渐点亮。’我认为这象征了一种华族精神,生生不息,传承下去。”

張泛 -《傳燈》Passing on the Lamp

新謠,1982年新加坡文藝獎項《金獅獎》主題曲。

張泛 -《傳燈》
作詞∶杜南發
作曲∶張泛

每一條河是一則神話 從遙遠的青山流向大海
(Every river carries a legend, from the green mountains to the shining sea)
每一盞燈是一脈香火 把漫長的黑夜漸漸點亮
(Every lamp lights up our herritage, banishing the long night)
為了大地和草原 太陽和月亮
(For the sake of Earth and nature, the moon and the sun)
為了生命和血緣 生命和血緣
(For the sake of Community life and comradeship)
每一條河是一則神話 每一盞燈是一脈香火
(Every river carries a legend, every lamp lights up our heritage)
每一條河都要流下去 每一盞燈都要燃燒自己
(Every river must continue to flow;every lamp must continue to shine its light)

曲 : 姚敏 / 詞 : 陳蝶衣

春風它吻上了我的臉
告訴我現在是春天
誰說是春眠不覺曉
只有那偷懶人兒才高眠

春風它吻上了我的臉
告訴我現在是春天
雖然是春光無限好
只怕那春光老去在眼前

趁著這春色在人間
起一個清早跟春相見
讓春風吹到我身邊
輕輕的吻上我的臉

春風它吻上了我的臉
告訴我現在是春天
春天裡處處花爭妍
別讓那花謝一年又一年
別讓那花謝一年又一年
