Cindai by Siti Nurhaliza

Some say Cindai is a cloth others may have different meaning.. I leave to the expert on this one. Cindai is a malay traditional song. It was later turn into a play. This is about a pure heart palace dancer who was framed.

Mendendam unggas liar di hutan
Jalan yang tinggal jangan berliku
Tilamku emas cadarnya intan
Berbantal lengan tidurku

Form the song, I like this verse best, it tells she had a well off life with bed of gold and sheets of diamond, living in a palace and all. Then her pillow is only her arm, it tells she is uncomfortable with the wealthy life she is living now.

This song describe the typical malay, nothing could be said out loud. So she hides her life's woe in a joyous melody

@trapsntrix so from your translation of the song's first stanza;

cermin = mirror

retak = break

seribu = 1000

interesting. my native language is ilocano. we have slight similarities with malay.

sarmin = mirror

bittak = break up

sangaribu = 1000

im from the philippines btw.
