Selapis Kasih Sedulang Rindu - duet bersamaRamli Sarip

Di mana, oh di mana kawan lama?
Apakah engkau masih di sana?
Membilang hari, merenung diri
Diiringi suara kecapi

Dan aku masih di sini menanti
Dan aku tak meratap lagi, merenung diri
Namun kuambil resmi si padi
Makin menunduk, makin berisi
Walau akarku tak puput di bumi

Ibarat kita si pohon rimbun
Engkau adalah daunnya
Dan akulah pucuknya

Andai kita si pohon tua
Nanti gugur daunnya
Hidup bersama sebagai teman sejati

Di mana, oh di mana kawan lama?
Apakah engkau masih di sana?
Membilang hari, merenung diri
Diiringi suara kecapi

Itulah adat hidup di dunia
Tiada yang baru, tiada yang lama
Pudarnya cincin tanpa permata
Tiadalah Adam tiadalah Hawa
Tanpa jiwa siapalah kita

Ibarat kita si pohon rimbun
Engkau adalah daunnya
Dan akulah pucuknya

Andai kita si pohon tua
Nanti gugur daunnya
Hidup bersama sebagai teman sejati

Layer of Love on a Tray of Longing - duet with Ramli Sarip

Where oh where are you, old friend?
Are you still out there somewhere?
Counting days, reflecting on myself
Accompanied by the sound of the zither

And I'm still here waiting
And I'm not lamenting anymore, reflecting on myself
But I'll take the custom of the rice farmer
The more I bow down, the more I fill up
Even though my roots are not rooted in the earth

Like you and I, the lush trees
You are the leaves
And I am the tip

If we were the old trees
Later its leaves will fall
Living together as true friends

Where oh where are you, old friend?
Are you still out there somewhere?
Counting days, reflecting on myself
Accompanied by the sound of the zither

That's the way of life in the world
Nothing new, nothing old
The ring without a gem fades
If there was no Adam and no Eve
Without a soul, who are we?

Like you and I, the lush trees
You are the leaves
And I am the tip

If we were the old trees
Later its leaves will fall
Living together as old friends
