Friska Sinambela - Oh Ya

This cute Indonesian pop number from the '80s is sung by one of the most gifted yet humble person I've ever known in my entire life, Friska Sinambela, also known among her high school friends as Belle. Written by Dian Pramana Poetra and Deddy Dhukun for the now-defunct boy band K3S and covered by artists such as Alana and Sm*sh, Friska gives "Oh Ya" (loosely translated as "Really?") a new life with her own doo-wop inspired retro interpretation.

I have no right in any way to claim this as my own work as all vocals and piano arrangement for the song was solely done by her. I've only decided to upload it to YouTube as a tribute to her amazing talent and our long-enduring friendship. The image used in the video was acquired from public domain sources and only used as visualization to the song without any real connection with Friska herself.

Please rate and comment, and while you're at it, why not walk down the memory lane for awhile and sing along with Friska yourself?

OH YA

Sumpah mati padamu ku jatuh hati
Sumpah mati padamu ku jatuh cinta
Namun sayang ku tak sempat berkenalan denganmu
dari hati ke hati
lalu bicara cinta berdua

Sampai kini daku masih terus harapkan
agar suatu saat ku berjumpa lagi
Semoga saja daku sempat berkenalan denganmu
dari hati ke hati
lalu bicara cinta berdua

Ingin ku mengejar seribu bayangmu
namun apa daya tangan tak sampai
Memang benar apa kata pepatah
kalau jodoh tak lari kemana
duhai kekasihku

(Oh ya?)

I'm not very good in translating, but here's my best shot!

REALLY

I swear I'm falling to you
I swear I'm falling in love
Sadly I haven't got the chance to know you,
from heart to heart,
then share my feelings with you

Until now I still keep hoping
that someday I could meet you again,
Maybe then I got my chance to know you,
from heart to heart,
then share my feelings with you

My imaginations were running wild,
but what can I do? I just couldn't reach you
Maybe the old saying was true,
(that) somehow true love will find the way,
oh my love

(Really?)
