When I first heard his fans using the initial FT, I thought they meant Federal Territory or Financial Times, then I was made known that FT stands for FAIZAL TAHIR. Eishh..FT pulak jadinya. Just yesterday I saw FT performing at Pavillion Shopping Centre, Kuala Lumpur. He is still on a crutch as consequence of an operation he had on his knees a few weeks back. But surprisingly FT is not so tall as I had imagined. Just slightly higher than Mila and Sheila Majid.
Anyhow there this guy who had made special efforts to translate FT’s song CUBA from Malay into English. His name is Amri. Check out the lyrics below. Although his vocal is not as strong as FT, tapi booooleehla..:
CUBA IN ENGLISH
Amri - Try
(English Version of Faizal Tahir’s Cuba)
Translation of lyrics by geeaquarius
Listen to my words
Just give it a try
Never say a word when I’m trying to pour out all inside me
Have you ever been here
When I need you most to say out things wholeheartedly
And…when you begin to say
I’ll lend you both my ears
So you can feel the peace inside
Who am I…just tell me in your eyes, ooh who am I
I could only be like one of them, those whom you can just fool around
In the end, when nobody else is by your side
You’ll be coming back to me again
That is who I am in your eyes
Try to take a look
Don’t you fear to try
Look here right into my eyes
All at once, I can be hypnotised
Have you ever been here
When I need you most, to pour out all the pain that I’ve kept for so long
When you need me by your side
I’d never cease to wait
So you can feel the ease of mind
Who am I…just tell me in your eyes, ooh who am I
I could only be like one of them, those whom you can just fool around
In the end, when nobody else is by your side
You’ll be coming back to me again
That is who I am…
Please..forgive me for I’ve never thought before
To write anything that I feel inside
It is my fault
And I won’t be asking you any more
To listen to my words
To look into my eyes….. once again…oh, oh
Who am I…just tell me in your eyes, ooh who am I
I could only be like one of them, those whom you can just fool around
In the end, when nobody else is by your side
You’ll be coming back to me again
That is who I am…
..those whom you can just fool around
In the end, when nobody else is by your side
You’ll be coming back to me again
That is who I am in your eyes
Budak si Amri nie memang suka mentranslate dan menyanyi. Banyak lagu yang dah dia belasah untuk tujuan kerja hobi translatenya tuu. From English to BM, from BM to English. From English to Jawa jea belom lagi..hehe.. Tapi tak pasti pulak saya sama ada dia nie bekerja dengan Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) atau bekas Cikgu Bahasa yang dapat merit dalam peperiksaan PTK PPMSI hari tu..Walau papon, usaha beliau patut diberikan galakan kerana mempunyai ciri-ciri 1Malaysia.
