A little bit different post this time. I’ve remembered an interesting song title “Biar Ku Menjadi Lilin” (Let Me Be The Candle) by Pelangi (Rainbow). An evergreen 1985 song that is written from a heart of a teacher (academician) for their students. If you able to be this candle, you indeed have a noble heart my dear fellow teachers.

Biar Ku Menjadi Lilin (B.Melayu)

Biarku menjadi lilin
Memberikan cahaya
Terangi sekeliling dengan diri terbakar
Tak siapa yang sedar
Disaat kegelapan rela aku berkorban
Demi satu harapanBiar masa berlari
Dan kau terus mendaki
Aku tenang disini dengan sabar menanti
Tanpa dendam dan benci
Andainya kau terjatuh terluka dan tersungkur
Kurawat biar sembuh

Aku tak kan bertanya
Apakah nanti balasannya
Setiap pengorbanan setiap pemberian
Demi satu ikatan

Keikhlasan dihati
Walaupun kau ragui
Pada suatu masa dan suatu ketika
Akan ketara jua

Biarku menjadi lilin
Memberikan cahaya
Saat kau kesepian saat kau kegelapan
Kurela menerangkan

Aku senang begini dapat terus berbakti
Dengan cara sendiri

 Let Me Be The Candle (English)

Let me be the candle
Providing the light
Light around by themselves burning
No one aware of
The moment of darkness I’m willing to sacrifice
For a hopeLet the time goes
And you rising up through
I am calmly herein patiently waiting
Without bitterness and hatred
In the event you stumbled and hurt
Let me treat till cure

I will not ask
What will be the reward
Each sacrifice, each provision
Only for a bond

Sincerity of the hearts
Even if you doubt
At some time in one time
It would substantially seen

Let me be the candle
Providing the light
When you’re lonely when you’re in the darkness
I’m willingly be your light

I’m happy to be able to continue to serve
In my own way
