Arombai kole
Tanah Ambon sudah djauh
Arombai kole
Manise manise
Sama santen dengan gula
Su terlalu manise"
Relaxing day at work. Spend time with friends, old and new. See a great show. Take a late bus, passing by one of the world's greatest skylines. Listen to a keroncong album.
That's exactly what I had today. That feeling that arises when you feel blessed.
And suddenly that dying flame of happiness just glowed again.
P/s: Song is titled "Kole-Kole", somewhat a fusion of Dutch lyrics and Indonesian keroncong. It is common amongst the Ambonese to write songs saying how far they are from home and how sad they feel. The version I listened to was by Krontjong Panjanji.
