Could there be a more beautiful woman singing a more beautiful song?

I think not.

[rockingbeethoven]

FOREVER I wish that the morning sun would greet me not. I wish that the moonlight would my eyes shut. Forever... Since you went, leaving the earth away, Alone, here, I remain. Put the sun down! Cast away the stars! Steer north to south, for all I care ... All these are of no use anymore. Just take this smashed soul, I don't want it anymore. Just cut off earth's umbilical cord. I want to flee to eternity, forever. Rough translation by me: Edo from Indonesia.

[volkken2005]

kuharap mentari pagi tak menyambut

kuharap sinar rembulan tutup mataku selamanya

sejak kau pergi tinggalkan bumi... tinggal ku disini

turunkan matahari, usir bintang- bintang

putarlah utara ke selatan.

untuk apa lagi semuanya

ambillah jiwa retak ini... ku tak igin lagi

putuskan ari ari bumi, aku ingin pergii menuju abadi.... selamanya

untuk apa lagi semuanya

(what else is there good for)

ambillah jiwa retak ini,ku tak ingin lagi,

putuskan hari-hari(?) bumi,aku ingin pergi,menuju abadi,selamanya.

(take this broken soul,i don't want (it) anymore,break (my) days on earth, i want to go away, towards forever, till the end of time.)

[xtra1911]

ku harap mentari pagi tak menyambungku,

ku harap sinar rembulan tutup mataku...selamanya

(i hope the morning light doesn't embrace me

i hope the moon light closes my eyes...forever)

sejak kau pergi,tinggalkan bumi ini, tinggalku disini,

[theREALonekev]

Thank you for posting this outstanding performance. She and the band are phenomenal. Is Gildas Arzel the lead guitarist? It's hard to believe this aired in the USA way back in '98. I thought a new era of great music was about to dawn.

[dxjtre]

Did some digging, pretty sure the guitarist was Nicolas Mingot.

[narareich]

massive

[centaurianz]

kuingin kembali tanpa resah hati..dari semua tanyaaa...

:)

deep meaning..

[FilipinoBoi30]

I like Anggun she has mellow songs to listen. I feel like plowing the rice fields in my mountainous hometown on Panay Island, Philippines! swimming in the river with neighbors and picking guavas in the mountainous area of my town. I love you Anggun you have an avid listener and fan here from the PHILIPPINES! please watch LANI MISALUCHA of the PHILIPPINES, too. She's a diva like Anggun both of them have achieved something!

[tsavo13202]

wow!!!!

[d0min0danc1ng]

Some ppl predict Anggun will get big in the US. Sadly to say I don't think so. I don't think she'll make it in the States. One being too many competitions and two being the murky relations between France and Etats Unis. They don't like each other.

[sangoswoman]

If I am not mistaken, back in 1999 (or was it 1998?) she did have a song on the radio in the States, "Rose in the Wind" and the Snow on the Sahara album was also released here. It didn't do very well...honestly, most pop is manufactured here, also, there is no market for this kind of music. Which sucks. Record execs only want to hear the same bullshit over and over again.

[MarkWillsUK]

I uploaded A Rose In The Wind twice, and twice it was taken down by YouTube, who said they had had a complaint about copyright. Yet all the other videos have no problems. I don't understand it. The record companies STILL do not understand that we are helping to do their job for them: We are helping to promote their artists... That's why we put them on YouTube: Because we love them. They are SO stupid!

[sangoswoman]

Amen to that...

[blakeyboycedar]

I agree, anyways, we can no longer grab the videos as raw files, so no copyrights should be violated...

One more thing, would any indonesian here kindly give us even a rough translation of the chant anggun sang here?

Thanks much!!!

[Eniet13]

I wish the sunshine did not welcome me.. I wish the moonlight, shut my eyes for good Since you have left, leaving the world, leaving me here. Put down the sun Shun the stars away Turn the north to the south Nothing matters anymore Take away this cracking soul, I dont want it anymore Cut the life from the world, I want to go to the eternal .. forever :)... this is really rough.. enjoy..

[blakeyboycedar]

Thank you!!!!

[Apriwa]

[giovannisalinas]

anggun is so amazingly cool, i don't know why she isn't hyper famous...

[kaliazzura]

I wish this had been the French version because I can't understand her here anyway... O_o

[rizferd]

bought Open Heart Album soundtrack from Anggun at favourite store in Amsterdam for B'day of a friend and had a long nice conversation with shop keeper bout her beauty of looks and voice and he said he's the most beautiful woman in the world, anggun what a beautiful creature in the world

[Starcam444]

Now I remember when this first came on television and nobody knew who i was talking about. now anggun is a big international star. very nice.....

[suhailshafi]

Beauty and talent redefined.

[Atisoy99]

hmmm is it just me or she seems to be singing for a past love, just like "Still reminds me". Snow on the sahara seems like a song for her special someone too.

whoever that guy is I wish it was me. I can only dream lol

[Zombie1592]

Where is the original video for A Rose In The Wind? My Grandmother can perform live better this song...

[batosaiblack]

When I wacth this clip, I feel that I am proud to be Indonesian, thank you anggun, you`re the best

[eaglefly23]

what a beautiful haunting voice! and what an exotic beautiful woman, too!

[1623a]

Please to markwillsUK download video when anggun live snow on the sahara...in session,please thank you so much.

[pulse092000]

WOW,SUNGGUH BERTENAGA,Anggun is one of my favourite singer.LOve YOU !!

[canjard]

Shit! i'll miss the concert because i'm away from home! Love this girl and her accent sooooo much when she speaks French! She's sooo....

[Dendog]

This is excellent. Does anyone know who are the other musicians?

[rizferd]

I MISS ANGGUN THIS WAY , OLD DAYS...

[kacangmede]

eventhough she`s french now, the way she sings in indonesian with indonesian traditional singing style, and with beautifully chosen indonesian poem-like lyrics, she doesn`t forget her roots at all. anggun, jangan lupa akarmu yah! yuuu. as to exoticloon, anggun is not the only indonesian singer who goes international. search for yourself, silakan.

[bonekateruterubozu]

my ultimate song for my half soul...love him so>__<hope i could be with him in all of my life

[sjeffreydespain]

Opening song is called "Selamanya". TRIVIA: Her dance moves are taken from a traditional Balinese dance. The song "A Rose in the Wind" is sung to the tune of her Indonesian song "Kembali" which means "welcome".(different lyrics from A Rose in the Wind.)

[daengamarus]

Kembali maknernyer "come back" right?

[eron05]

Kembali in english means return. Welcome in Indonesia is selamat datang. It's the word that you say when you greet people to your place.

[sjeffreydespain]

Actually Kembali means "return to", "come back" and "Welcome (you're)". It depends on where and how you say it. I spent a lot of time in Jakarta in my 20's.

[lanangejagat]

my awesome anggun. go, viva anggun!

[rgalunas]

She should do a duet with Rob Thomas

[Devvo22]

Mark! Love you for posting this..you;ve made me a very happy girl.. :D

[MarkWillsUK]

My pleasure Devvo, please enjoy. However, I feel it's only fair to point out that I downloaded them from another website. I think the site is called anggunworld.com... Enjoy :-)

Mark in England

[florussli]

When she was young she sang' she's gone' perfectly. So...yeah no lips synch..i think it's just because the language...i like indonesian version though

[exoticloon]

OMG! I never really listened to her before...I guess there's one reason that she's the only indonesian singer that has gone international: SHE IS AMAZING

[dendu]

Anggun does the "jaipong" dance (traditional javanese dance). she is amazing :)

[Jenna424]

One word. BEAUTIFUL!

[michusa2000]

good

[maggotinabin]

An attempt to translate Selamanya literally & loosely. I'm a Malay speaker & I'd say this translation isn't the absolute. Just for the fun of it, here goes:

[maggotinabin]

Kuharap mentari pagi, tak menyambutku

I wish the morning sun, won't receive me

Kuharap sinar rembulan, tutup mataku... selamanya

I wish the moon light, close my eyes... forever

Sejak kau pergi, tinggalkan bumi, tinggalku di sini

Since you're gone, left the earth, leaving me here

Turunkan matahari

Get the sun down

Usir bintang-bintang

Shun the stars away

[ankhmenace]

Kuharap mentari pagi, tak menyambutku

I wish the morning sun, won't greet me

Turunkan matahari

Bring down the sun

[maggotinabin]

Kuharap mentari pagi, tak menyambutku

I wish the morning sun, won't receive me

Kuharap sinar rembulan, tutup mataku... selamanya

I wish the moon light, close my eyes... forever

Sejak kau pergi, tinggalkan bumi, tinggalku di sini

Since you're gone, left the earth, leaving me here

Turunkan matahari

Get the sun down

Usir bintang-bintang

Shun the stars away

[maggotinabin]

Putarkan utara ke selatan

Spin north to south

Untuk apa lagi semuanya

What are all these for

Ambillah jiwa retak ini, ku tak ingin lagi

Take this broken heart, I don't want anymore

Putuskan ari-ari bumi, aku ingin pergi

Cut the root of the earth, I want to leave

Menuju abadi...selamanya

Towards eternity... forever

[ankhmenace]

your translation is pretty good, but i think

untuk apa lagi semuanya

What more is everything for

ambillah jiwa retak ini, ku tak ingin lagi

take this broken soul, i don't want it anymore

i don't know what ari-ari means,, i speak bahasa melayu/malaysia... i don't think these words have a significantly different meaning in bahasa indonesia... thanks for your excellent translation!

[yukeyuke]

Ari-ari is placenta, technically speaking.

[ankhmenace]

that line now brings a whole new meaning to me... thanks!

[maggotinabin]

The first song's in Indonesian, called Selamanya (Forever) and i doubt any lyp-synching going on. The track's included in her debut Snow on the Sahara.

[MarkWillsUK]

Thanks Maggotinabin. I thought it was probably indonesian, as she obviously is indonesian. The language sounds similar to Malay (to me). Would you agree? Thanks for posting. Mark

[MarkWillsUK]

I had to import the Snow On The Sahara album from the USA, it's very very difficult to find here in the UK. A big shame. Mark

[soulibal]

I keep watching this video every single day, the live instruments of the second song is just amazing, I love her, her songs and her single performance, been my favorite since her first hits back home. Since I live in the Netherlands I couldn't really see her time to time live performances on tv.

[leflic]

Did she lip-sync the first song? Cause the intensity immediately dropped as soon as she started "Rose In The Wind". Either the band is too loud or her mic isnt loud enough. I love her hand movements though, they're very alluring and hypnotic!

What event is this?

[MarkWillsUK]

No there's no lip syncing going there - it's all totally live. I think you are right about the band though - I think they were probably a bit loud - I can't see any stage monitors in front of her, to allow her to hear her own vocals above the band, so I guess once the music started full on, she couldn't hear herself too well. What a performance though, eh?

[MarkWillsUK]

BTW: IF you like the hand movements, check out the Snow On Sahara - putting the fact that it's just a brilliant track to one side, she looks lovely in it, and you're right, the hand movements do add a certain 'thing' to it - an almost Bhuddist type quality! Thanks for posting.

[diane1556xj]

the hand moevements was balinese and javanese dance

[kikkiokioli]

something happens to the sync on many of the youtube posted videos, which throws off the video to audio matching. That's probably why you thought it was a lip sync job on her part. This one is pretty closely matched. I've seen some horrendously mismatched videos on here.

[leflic]

oh no, the sync is fine. I just noticed a huge change in the intensity of her voice from the first song to the second. The first performance was flawless but second one was a liiiiiiiiitle bit off-key which is why I thought she lip-synced to first one. Also the second song started with a very low note, so that's probably why there was a big change in intensity. Thanks to MarkWillsUK for posting her videos, keep em coming!

[rizferd]

there's no lipsing leflic,i have the high quality version of this video
