It is a wet Thursday afternoon and when it rains, a sense of unspoken serenity washes over me; shielding me from the worldly pains and heartaches I know. Today is no exception. As I am listening to the soft pitter-patter of the rain outside, I am sipping a comforting hot mug of coffee, basking in the calmness that rarely comes.
A song is playing in my mind over and over and it is one that holds endless bittersweet memories. A love song if you will, that although in no way relates to my current state of a happily-married woman, is one that never fails to bring me back to a particular moment in time, when everything was almost perfect.
A song that lingers whenever everything seems to be falling apart and all I really want to do is crawl into my little corner and hide from the rest of the world. A song with heartfelt words so hauntingly beautiful, it leaves me in awe every time I hear it. A song that makes me believe that hope and true love prevails over any other, no matter how terrible the situation.
I'd like to share this song with you today, especially for my new friend Metz. I hope u will find this version by Malaysia's Sweetheart Number 1 singer Datuk Siti Nurhaliza, just as haunting as the original one by Dewa at my other blog. Siti sings two different Dewa songs here and though I love them both, I am currently feeling the first one. :)
Cinta Kan Membawamu Kembali (DEWA)
Tiba saat mengerti jerit suara hati
Letih meski mencoba melagukan rasa yang ada
Mohon tinggal sejenak, lupakanlah waktu
Temani air mataku, teteskan lara, merajut rasa
Menjalin mimpi, endapkan sepi-sepi….
Cinta ‘kan membawamu, kembali di sini
Menuai rindu, membasuh perih
Bawa serta dirimu, dirimu yang dulu
Mencintaiku, apa adanya
Saat kista mengalir, jujurkanlah hati
Tenangkan batin jiwamu, benamkan cinta seperti dulu
Saat bersama, tak ada keraguan…
Cinta ‘kan membawamu, kembali di sini
Menuai rindu, membasuh perih…
Menuai rindu, membasuh perih…

i really like this song oh...got it frm ur blog hre mariuca :) nice song indeed :P Have a nice day ya! :D
Beautiful song, beautiful lady, beautiful song.. simply heartwarming....
thanks for sharing dearie..
I was sleeping when it rained.. but terkejut bangun and kelam kabut closed the balcony door!!
heheh
i like the melody, i'm sure it;s a beautiful song ;)
Just love the sound of the pitter-patter of the rain and also the scent of the rain. The sound of water has a natural ability to calm one down. Probably that is the reason why people like to go to waterfall, lake, sea and almost any places that have water. At waterfall, the calming and relaxing effects come from the negative ions in the air actually. Maybe as an Aquarius, I have a close affinity with water. I just love it and yet the same time I fear it also.
Sounds like a love song, very melodic and really nice for a rainy day. I don't understand the lyrics but I can sing along YAY! No complicated sounds in this language! WOOF!
Hi Imelda, thank you for being my first commenter here YAY! :)

Hi BK! Thanks so much for sharing that with us. The sound of water does have a sense of serenity about it, I agree.

A melancholy mood can be a good cleansing to a new beginning. :)

He he, thanks so much Mrs. Ezman, hope ur weekend was great! :):):)

I am not sure what the song says, but I definitely believe that it is therapeutic for the soul. Hope and true love will prevail, as long as faith is an ingredient. Beautiful entry to your post by-the-way! I love how you describe the way you feel.

Hola Charles! Thank you so much for reading!
The rain does bring out the sentimental side of Mariuca, I find it easier to let my thoughts out when I'm feeling serene like this. The song basically talks about love coming back to u one day, and then all the pain and hurt will finally wash away... :):):)
