This song really gripped my heart when I heard it for the first time over Traxx.FM yesterday during the Flex on Traxx program helmed by Double D and Roundhead. (Guys good job!)

If there's one song I would sing (and believe me that it's better I keep my mouth shut), I would gladly sing this song by Innuendo of Positive Tone for my mother in spite of the rotten apples, eggs or pies that might get thrown at me.

It's done in a very laidback slow jazz style with ample fill-ins of mute trumpet runs amidst steady on the beat, guitar comps. Who are the musicians? Where can I get their CD that contains this song? Can anyone help me?

Jangan dititiskan air matamu,
Tak usah keliru, tiada menentu,
Ada sinar diwajahmu,
Ada syurga di hujung jarimu,
Damai sungguh hati,
Kau penawar di kala sunyi
Ratu Hati, Ibu.

Hentikan renungan jauh disayu
Hilang tanpa mu, bukan kau tak tahu,
Nak ku cium, kan ku peluk,
Lari kepada mu
Sayang sungguh, Ibu.

Tak mungkin jemu, tak bisa luntur,
Semenjak lahir lagi,
Jika tak pernah ku lafazkan,
Ibu, dengar ini lagu.

Lupakan segala sengketa lalu,
Maafkan diriku, memang ku tak tahu.
Ibu, Mami, Mama, Ummi
Hingga akhir nanti
Pintaku jangan kau sedih,
Usah gusar lagi,
Kasih mu abadi,
Duduk dalam hati,
Doaku jangan kau pergi dulu,
Ibu.

-Innuendo-

The group has not released any new album since 2002 which is a pity as I kind of love that song. Sorry guys, I'm Johnny-Come-Lately.

Other artists under the Positive Tone label include:

Ferhad, Too Phat, Poetic Ammo, Teh Tarik Crew, OAG, Pop Shuvit, VE and Ruffedge.

Incidentally, Pop Shuvit's bassist, AJ also plays jazz.

Want the rough English translation? (Thanks to Shahrel for helping me out)

Do not cry any tears,
Let's not be confused, without end,
There's a shine on your face,
There's heaven at your fingertip,
My heart is at peace,
You're the remedy in the midst of silence,
Queen of my heart, Mum.

Cease staring forlornly afar,
Lost without you, surely you know,
I want to kiss, I want to hug,
Run to you,
Love you to bits and pieces, Mum.

I'll never tire, it will not fade,
Since I was born,
If I have never said this,
Mum, listen to this song.

Please forget our past quarrels,
Forgive me, I really did not know,
Ibu, Mami, Mama, Ummi, (mum)
Till the end
My wish is that you won't be sad,
Don't worry anymore
Your love is abiding,
Right within your bosom,
My prayer is that you won't go first,
Mum
