@@DrumWild99 Thanks for visiting. All is well over here 🤗

Mirmiran, thanks for visiting and listening to this "Melayu Asli" classic by the late Said Effendi [1923-1983]. "Fatwa Pujangga" has been recorded countless times over the years with slight variations in the lyrics, depending on the artist concerned.

What you read below are the exact lyrics of "Fatwa Pujangga" as sung by the female vocalist in this recording, Kalsom Awaluddin from Melaka. Verse 1 Telah ku terima surat mu nan lalu Penuh sanjungan kata merayu Syair dan pantun tersusun indah sayang Bagaikan madah fatwa pujangga Verse 2 Kan ku simpan surat mu nan itu Bak pusaka yang sangat bermutu Walau kita tak pernah bersua sayang Cukup sudah tanda mu setia Chorus 1 Tapi sayang, sayang, sayang Seribu kali sayang Ke manakah risalah ku Ku alamatkan Verse 3 Terimalah jawapan ku ini Hanyalah doa restu Ilahi Semogalah bang kau tak putus asa sayang Pasti kelak kita kan berjumpa SOLO Chorus 2 Tapi sayang, sayang, sayang Seribu kali sayang Ke manakah risalah ku Ku alamatkan Verse 4 Terimalah jawapan ku ini Hanyalah doa restu Ilahi Semogalah bang kau tak putus asa sayang Pasti kelak kita kan berjumpa

You may try translating these lyrics verbatim into English via Google Translate, but the results might not reflect the true meaning as Malay has quite a different syntax from English. Compounding matters is the liberal use of allegories, a common device in Malay poetry. In any case, I'll summarize the lyrics as I understand them. Note that Chorus 1 and Chorus 2 are similar, as are Verse 3 and Verse 4. Verse 1 The writer has received a letter from an anonymous admirer, full of heartfelt praise and expressing romantic feelings. The writer is deeply moved by the beautiful language used in the letter, and likens it to the work of a great poet. The word "sayang" [my love] at the end of the third line implies that the contents of the letter have had an effect on the writer, who has begun to reciprocate the anonymous admirer's feelings. Verse 2 The writer will hold on to this letter, and treat it as if it were a priceless heirloom. The writer then laments the fact that they have never met in person. One consolation, though, is the letter itself, which the writer treasures as undeniable proof of the admirer's affection and faithfulness. Chorus 1/Chorus 2 Here, the word "sayang" does not mean "my love," but "what a shame." Repeating "sayang" three times emphasizes the writer's deep regret, as does "seribu kali sayang," literally translated as "a thousand regrets." The writer is overcome with regret because there is no way to send a reply to the anonymous admirer, as the letter lacked a return address. Verse 3/Verse 4 Having no alternative, the writer has decided to compose, record and release "Fatwa Pujangga," in the hope the anonymous admirer will eventually listen to it; and know that the letter was not in vain. The second line, "hanyalah doa restu Ilahi," describes the writer's sincere hope that this last-ditch effort is blessed by Almighty God. The writer also hopes that the anonymous admirer will not give up on their budding romance, referring to him as "bang" in line 3. "Bang" is a Malay term of endearment normally reserved for a woman's significant other. Finally, in line 4, the writer expresses the confidence that the two of them will eventually meet.

@@NatureBoyWooo The way the owner is using it in this video, no. If you use it like you would a Floyd Rose, it will go out of tune. That's because the Dinky does not have a locking nut or locking tuners.

@@rusazaliramli9719 Alhamdulillah, thanks

@@NatureBoyWooo That's a good question. The trem was set to float. The nut slots were also widened, smoothened and lubed to reduce snagging. The tuners are non-locking. Those are 10-46 strings, as per the owner's request. Based on the video, I'd say this set up holds the tuning well enough. Notice that he's mainly using the trem for subtle vibrato effects, and nothing extreme. For that, you'd need a Floyd Rose. Hope that answers your question, and have a nice day.

Congratulations on your purchase, and may the restoration bring you lots of joy. For more information on the RG480AH, do visit: cikguazizgearblog.blogspot.com/2022/12/1999-deep-red-sunburst-ibanez-rg480ah.html?m=1
