Lyrical (Musical) folklore from the Republic of Singapore


Poem Artwork

                               From the pen of renowned composer Dick Lee of the Republic 
                                                                      of Singapore comes this highly popular theme song from his
                                                                      musical "Kampong Amber," now a work of national folklore.

                                                                                                        (Recited by Richard Lee Orey)
                     

 

                                                                                        Bunga Sayang
                                              (Flower of Love)

                                                                In every village by the sea
                                                               There stands a tall and ancient tree
                                                                Which shelters from the sky above
                                                                A tree of hope, a tree of love

                                                                It shares our joy and feels our pain
                                                                It grows with us through sun and rain
                                                                It stays so green the whole year through
                                                                And flowers when a dream comes true

                                                                Bunga sayang, bunga sayang
                                                                You are heaven's own work of art
                                                                Bunga sayang, bunga sayang, 
                                                                Gentle flower of the heart

                                                                Bunga sayang, bunga sayang
                                                                Gentle flower of the heart
