Bila Rumi Menari by M.nasir

Kita menari bukan sebarang tarian,Asalnya dari tanah orang orang pilihan,
Bila terdengar masnawi ciptaan maulan,ku bunuh nafsu lebur rantainya dari badan,
Hingga hilang bangga diri,berani hidup berani mati,
Bagai musafir bertemu janji,ini darwis sudah gila berahi
Kita taak rindu pada siasah dunia,perangkapnya membuat manusia hampa,
Untuk bertemu impian bukan percuma,mengorbankan yang tersangat kita cinta,
bagai yunus dimakan paus,Ibrahim tak makan api,
bertemu kasih di malam kudus,luka di badan tak terasa lagi,
pukulah rebana jantungku bersyairlah maulana,
aku mabuk hakiki mendengar suaramu,

and so on…
 Being a malay guy in a (so-called) sophisticated english society i feel hopeless trying to figure out wht tht song is telling me! after 2 years of doing english lit i cant do things tht my people have been doing for hundred and hundred of years-language is not just mere words but a form of cultural view on wht u see around u..symbolism to the most extreme and beautifully crafted words that will never hurt the person you are talking to…this will be my summer project!…any help?

Mood-miss home and someone
Song- Its my life(Bon jovi)
