Selamat Hari Halloween
Technorati tags: Humor, Stupid Song Lyrics, Halloween, Malaysia
Well, just a few more minutes before midnight. And that means the end of Halloween for this year. At least in this time zone.
Walski initially had some elaborate post in mind, but time wasn't being very co-operative.
So instead, we give you a newly created theme song, in Bahasa Malaysia, for Halloween. Walski will risk the ire of the language police, but the word Halloween has been left as is (so has candy and Snickers).
Halloween is a lot easier to work into song lyrics.
And what other favorite Malaysian seasonal song to pick, but the evergreen, ever popular, ever wonder who wrote it, Selamat Hari Raya. The one sung by Saloma.
So here is the first ever Halloween song in Bahasa Malaysia.
(in the full post)
Selamat Hari Halloween
(original lyrics here, originally sung by Saloma)
Selamat Hari Halloween
Kepada semua makhluk halus dan jin
Setahun hanya sekali
Merayakan hari menakutkan ini
Di masa bulan lain
Di senja kita pergi jalan-jalan
Pabila hantu menjelma
Lintang pukang kita lari jatuh longkang
(Korus 1)
Budak-budak membuat lampu dari buah labu
Mengunjung jiran mintak cokelat dan candy
Sungguh hebat kostum hantu lansuir dan jembalang
Makcik sebelah lari lintang pukang
Selamat Hari Halloween
Kepada semua makhluk halus dan jin
Marilah memakai topeng
Merayakan hari menakutkan ini
Kat rumah Freddy Kruger
Ada bermacam jenis gula-gula
Mintak lah Snickers sepotong
Hantu lain pun nak jugak, gotong-royong
Hoo hoo hoo... bunyi hantu
Kanak-kanak datang ketuk kat pintu
Ngek ngek ngek hantu mengilai
Halloween meriah, jin dan hantu galah
(Korus 2)
Tiada maaf kalau tak bagi budak makan candy
Nanti kena belasah ramai-ramai
Lampu kereta habis hancur, tayar pun habis angin
Perangai budak pakai baju hantu
Selamat hari Halloween
Kepada Jenglot, toyol, dan pontianak
Malam ngeri di ucapkan
Langsuir kenyang makan sampai tahun depan
Selamat... Ha... ri... Hallloweeeeen...
Walski's footnote: Usually, posting utter rubbish like this is a sure sign that Walski's suffering from writer's block, compounded with other time commitment distractions. But one interesting thing is that this particular Hari Raya song is structured so simply that it can be modified to suit just about any celebration. Try it for yourself!
