When i watched One In A Zillion last friday, there was a song that caught my attention. I used to have this song but too bad my hard disk has already went back to meet its maker. It is pretty hard to find this song and I would appreciate it if some one can provide a link.
M. Nasir
Mentera Semerah Padi
Hei! kersani mengalir lah dikau
Menjadi raksa
Mengisi belikat punggungku
Agar aku bisa berdiri
Tegap dan segak
Bagaikan laksmana Melayu
Hei! sepuluh helai daun sirih
Ku gentas bersama
Bunga cengkih jadilah dikau
Darah merah pekat
Mengisi uratku
Agar bisa aku berlangkah
Gagah dan tampan
Bagaikan sijantan yang berkokok
Di mana bumi ku pijak
Di situ langit ku junjung
Alang-alang menyeluk pekasam
Biar sampai ke pangkal lengan
Aku seru mentera pusakaku
Mentera semerah padi
I like M Nasir, I think he is quite different from other Malay artists. Oh yes, Zainal Abidin is my favourite too.
