P Ramlee's Getaran Jiwa "Shudderings of the Soul"



What an old fashioned melody. Love the lush breezy warm scenery of the malay village and countryside. Zaleha is one buxom lady who does not look at P Ramlee as he whispers sweet nothings to her - instead she stares dreamily ahead.

You don't see Malaysian actors hold hands like this anymore in movies these days.

Shudderings of the soul
Invade my heart
Beautiful arrangements
Of melody and song

Although it is but humble
But it does not matter
I do hope it will evoke
Feelings of love in you

I will never lose it
This melody and song
It is like a flower
Always sweet with nectar

If one day I should lose
This melody and song
I will be weak without a soul
Ever broken

What a "sayu" feeling I'm now getting.
