Alarice - Sejak Hadirmu

Alarice and band covering Sejak Hadirmu, a Malay song performed by Malaysian singer-songwriter Juwita Suwito at Oosh. With her are Nigel Tan on guitars, Jocelyn Ong on bass and CK on percussion. The lyrics are:

Sejak Hadirmu

(VERSE 1)
Ketika diri ini mencari arah (While I was finding a way)
Mencari-cari kedamaian jiwa (searching for solace)
Tiada pernah terfikir (it never crossed my mind)
Takdir menemukan kita (that fate would bring us together)

(CHORUS)
Lautan bergelombang dipukul ribut taufan (The seas are choppy, battered by storms)
Demikian jiwaku suatu waktu dulu (Like how my soul was previously)
Bagaikan tasik dilingkari alam permai (Like a lake surrounded by nature)
Demikian aku kini sejak hadirmu di hati (It's how I am now since you came into my heart)

(VERSE 2)
Atas kurniaan yang satu ini (With this one blessing)
Rasa syukurku tiada terbaring selama (This feeling of gratitude dormant)
Di badan yang aku menumpang (In this body I inhabit has resurged)
Kaulah saja harapan (You're the only hope)

(CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)
Engkaulah saja harapan (You're the only hope)
Sejak hadirmu di hati (since you came into my heart)
Engkaulah sajalah harapan (You're the only hope)

(CHORUS)
Sejak hadirmu di hati (repeat 4x)

Performed by Juwita Suwito, lyrics by Habsah Hassan and copyright Four Fourty Records Sdn. Bhd. You can iisten to the original version at www.juwitasuwito.com.

Note: The chorus and second verse could not be translated literally without losing structure, so I took some creative liberties.

for non-malay and not even malaysian., singing this song like this definately makes alarice the best of the best. i dont think even any malaysian can perform well like this. this is great. the way she do the part "..dilingkari alam permai..." is even better than the original one.. sorry to that Juwita..... cant stand alarice's vibration...
