Alena Murang - Gitu'an (Official Lyric Video)

GITU’AN (STARS)
Written by Alena Murang and Joshua Maran
Ku’ ayu’ ba’o
Ibarat butiran manik
Like the beads
猶如一串串的珠子
Ku’ ayu’ padey
Ibarat benihan padi
Like the padi
猶如一片片的稻田
Tauh pupuh luun merar ma’on
Semangat moyang di dalam kita
We are our ancestors
我們是祖先的後裔
Tauh nih let luun langit
Kita adalah warga langit
We are people of the sky
我們是天空的孩子
Edto libuh kuh ra’ong
Ukiran Matahari, seakan topi sawah padi
The sun, round as a sun hat
圓圓的太陽像頂帽子
Edto nuk mey nadur peped langit lungung
Membingkai di hujung awan mendung
Skirting the edge of the cloudy sky
穿梭在團團的雲朵裡
Nadur peped langap langit temubong
Kembara lintasi jalur bulatan matahari ke arah syurga yg terbentang megah
Journeying through the circumference of the vast heavens
漫遊遼闊的天空 穿越無際的天堂

Hi Alena. 3 years ago I was on a special project to promote Borneo's traditions in mall's festive decoration. Unfortunately it has been called off due to Covid 19 pandemic. 2023, I've been given a chance to reignite the idea in a new place. Do come to visit The Starling Mall, Uptown Damansara this April for their Hari Raya thematic decoration with the fusion ambiance of Borneo meets Hari Raya. It may be on a very small scale event, but hope it will gives a very good vibes to the people. And this song, Gitu'an, together with Midang Midang and Re' Lekuah, have been a very huge inspiration to me in delivering this project. Thanks a lot for the inspirations.
