"The Memories Remain" VS "Sedetik Lebih".

Salam,


The Malay Chronicles of Merong Mahawangsa is officially opened for the public today. I've promised my god friend Susan to go to KLCC cinema to watch this movie. Based on the movie review so far, this movie has its own standard and  can be one of the best Malay movies. I actually don't want to focus on the movie today BUT I'm more into this special song that's part of its Original Soundtrack.

I have to admit that I'm one of Anuar Zain's fan. (I know you are too, Isabelle-hehe). I can't think of another better singer than him for this powerful song. Since there are 2 versions of this song, I would like you guys out there to compare these 2 versions and tell me which has the more powerful effect in terms of the feeling you get from the song?  The cinematography of the video clip is just stunning and the special effects too are amazing!

THE MEMORIES REMAIN - ANUAR ZAIN.
 



Now the malay version-

SEDETIK LEBIH - ANUAR ZAIN.




SO.....WHAT DO YOU RECKON? WHICH HAS MORE EFFECTS ON YOU? FRANKLY SPEAKING, THOUGH I ALWAYS USE ENGLISH SINCE I NEED IT AT MY WORKPLACE (ALSO AT HOME WITH MY DAUGHTERS), I STILL PREFER MALAY LANGUAGE. OBVIOUSLY THE FIRST REASON BEING IS, MALAY LANGUAGE IS MY FIRST LANGUAGE. THAT'S WHY WHEN I COMPARED THOSE TWO VERSIONS, I LOVE THE MALAY VERSION MORE. IT'S JUST GOT TO DO WITH THE BEAUTY OF THE LANGUAGE AND THE EXPRESSIVE WORDS BEING USED ARE MORE MEANINGFUL IF THEY ARE IN MALAY LANGUAGE.

JADI, APA PENDAPAT ANDA SEMUA? YANG MANA SATU LEBIH MEMBAWA KESAN MENDALAM? SEJUJURNYA, WALAUPUN SAYA PERLU MENGGUNAKAN BAHASA INGGERIS DI TEMPAT KERJA (DAN JUGA DI RUMAH UNTUK MENGAJAR ANAK2), SAYA LEBIH SUKA DENGAN BAHASA MELAYU. SEBAB UTAMA IALAH KERANA BAHASA MELAYU TETAP BAHASA IBUNDA. OLEH SEBAB ITULAH BILA SAYA BANDINGKAN KEDUA-DUA VERSI LAGU TADI, SAYA LEBIH SUKAKAN VERSI BAHASA MELAYU. MUNGKIN IA ADA KAITAN DENGAN KEINDAHAN BAHASA MELAYU DAN GAYA PENCERITAAN AKAN LEBIH TERSERLAH APABILA IANYA DI DALAM BAHASA MELAYU.

P/S: bandingkan bagaimana saya cuba menterjemahkan apa yang saya tulis dalam Bahasa Inggeris ke Bahasa Melayu. Versi Bahasa Melayu  lebih panjang kerana untuk memahami dan menungkaikan sesuatu, kita perlukan lebih perkataa dalam Bahasa Melayu.
