I first heard about Malaysian Artistes for Unity when I attended the recent Anugerah Industri Muzik (AIM 15) where the video and song was showcased for the first time. I loved the simplicity of the video, a bunch of people (famous Malaysians mind you, i recognised almost everyone there) who were just having fun, prancing in front of the camera in what appeared to be a basement.
The Here in My Home *click* project was started out by Pete Teo*click* who decided to do an anti-racism national unity song and music video. The idea spread like wild fire and from an initial 52 people the numbers rose to an astounding 120 in the party. Sharing a common love for Malaysia, these filmmakers, dancers, singers, producers, musicians, actors, entrepreneurs, designers, footballers, activists, celebrities, students and a florist *click* volunteered enthusiastically to contribute to this project. Thus the birth of Malaysian Artistes for Unity.
The song Here in My Home is very catchy. You could download the mp3, video and banners here. The full lyrics are available on the video. However, I'll do you one better as the lyrics below includes the romanised translation for the tamil and mandarin part of the song. All these are courtesies of Wei Zhu, Mahen (who translated the tamil part) and Natasya (for the mandarin translation). For those studying in Cowboy Town Uni, you can download the mp3 and video from our beloved DC++. Do share and spread the love.
Hold on brother hold on
The road is long,
we're on stony ground
But I'm strong, and you ain't heavy
Oh there's a misspoken truth that lies
Colors don't bind, oh no
What do they know?
They speak falsely
Here in my home
I'll tell you what it's all about
There's just one hope here in my heart
One love undivided
That's what it's all about
Please won't you fall in one by one by one with me?
(Fall in~ Fall in~)
Fall in with me
(hmm ... fall in~)
Fall in fall in fall in with me
Push back sister won't you push back?
Love won't wait, just keep pushing on
Yes I'm strong, you ain't heavy
Oh don't you worry about that ...
What we have shadows can't deny
Don't you know it's now or never?
Here in my home
I'll tell you what it's all about
There's just one hope here in my heart
One love undivided
That's what it's all about
Please won't you fall in one by one?
(Malay)
Bertubi asakan berkurun lamanya
Hati ke depan mencari yang sayang
[Years of fears and years of tribulation
The heart keeps searching for that endless devotion]
(Mandarin)
手牵手大家一起走，我们代表国人开口未来就没有丢走
shou qian shou da jia yi qi zou,
wo men dai biao guo ren kai kou wei lai jiu mei you diu zou
[Hand in hand we'll march like blood brothers
I speak for my people, hope we'll find peace forever]
(Tamil)
inthe payanam payanamm yen vettri thaagam
anthee kaana kaalam naam vetri raagam...nanba nanba
[May the road ahead quench my thirst for success
the road behind echo a song of the blessed]
Yes I feel it in my bones, so I will let it be known
No matter where I roam this is home sweet home
Sing!
Here in my home
I'll tell you what it's all about
There's just one hope here in my heart
One love undivided
That's what it's all about
Please won't you fall in one by one by one with me?
(yeah~ Yeah)
Here in my home
(Here in my home)
I'll tell you what it's all about
(I'll tell you ...)
There's just one hope here in my heart
(one hope! one hope yo!)
One love undivided(aa~ one~)
That's what it's all about
(That's what it's all about~)
Please won't you fall in one by one by one with me?
Here in my home
(Here in my home~)
I'll tell you what it's all about
There's just one hope here in my heart
(one love one love one love ^^)
One love undivided
That's what it's all about
Please won't you fall in one by one by one with me?
(clap clap clap woo~ i love you man)
