Highlands | The Amazing of Glencoe - Part II

 

 

The Massacre Of Glencoe

by The Corries

 

(chorus)
Oh cruel is the snow that sweeps Glencoe
And covers the grave o' Donald
And cruel was the foe that raped Glencoe
And murdered the house o' MacDonald
(chorus)

They came through the blizzard, we offered them heat
A roof ower their heads, dry shoes for their feet
We wined them and dined them, they ate o' our meat
And slept in the house O' MacDonald

(chorus)

They came from Fort William with murder mind
The Campbell had orders, King William had signed
Pit all tae the sword, these words underlined
And leave none alive called MacDonald

(chorus)

They came in the night when the men were asleep
That band of Argyles, through snow soft and deep.
Like murdering foxes, among helpless sheep
They slaughtered the house o' MacDonald

(chorus)

Some died in their beds at the hands of the foe
Some fled in the night, were lost in the snow.
Some lived to accuse him, what struck the first blow
But gone was the house of MacDonald

(chorus x2)

 

 

 

Maher Zain - So Soon | Official Music Video

I love this song so much!
So, I think I should share about it ... perfect, touching and emotional reflections!

Salam Jumaat all and I leave you (especially my family members) with these pieces of notes, handwritting by my late father - I found it in his locked drawer with other valuables personal property.

He was my major motivation mentor - thanks abah and mak for all the wonderful lessons and bring me into this world ..love both of you to bits!!!

*** So Soon ***

 

Every time I close my eyes I see you in front of me
I still can hear your voice calling out my name
And I remember all the stories you told me
I miss the time you were around [x2]
But I’m so grateful for every moment I spent with you
‘Cause I know life won’t last forever

You went so soon, so soon
You left so soon, so soon
I have to move on ’cause I know it’s been too long
I’ve got to stop the tears, keep my faith and be strong
I’ll try to take it all, even though it’s so hard
I see you in my dreams but when I wake up you are gone
Gone so soon

Night and day, I still feel you are close to me
And I remember you in every prayer that I make
Every single day may you be shaded by His mercy
But life is not the same, and it will never be the same
But I’m so thankful for every memory I shared with you
‘Cause I know this life is not forever

You went so soon, so soon
You left so soon, so soon
I have to move on ’cause I know it’s been too long
I’ve got to stop the tears, keep my faith and be strong
I’ll try to take it all, even though it’s so hard
I see you in my dreams but when I wake up you are gone

There were days when I had no strength to go on
I felt so weak and I just couldn’t help asking: “Why?”
But I got through all the pain when I truly accepted
That to God we all belong, and to Him we’ll return, ooh

You went so soon, so soon
You left so soon, so soon
I have to move on ’cause I know it’s been too long
I’ve got to stop the tears, keep my faith and be strong
I’ll try to take it all, even though it’s so hard
I see you in my dreams but when I wake up you are gone
Gone so soon

Bila Dengar Lagu-Lagu Opick

Mood saya mesti berubah... Tak kira la masa tu tgh buat apa, akan terberhenti dan duduk sebentar menghayati dan kesedaran dtg sekejap. Benar, dakwah itu mudah meresap ke nurani melalui sesuatu lagu/nasyid..ditambah lagi dengan lirik yang sgt bagus, mendalam dan melodi yang cukup-cukup indah.

 

 Tapi yang sebenarnya saya mmg sgt2 meminati Opick. Hampir smua lagu-lagu dalam koleksi Opick saya minat! Kalau tak percaya cuba sesekali search and dengar..atau pun buka IKIM.FM, sure dlm sehari tu ada on-air. Tak hairanlah lagu-lagu Opick ni selalu dijadikan OST utk certain drama.

 

Cuba dengar, hayati dan berfikir..Oh indahnya, menusuk kalbu :)

Salam AidilAdha 1433H

Salam Aidiladha dari kami berdua untuk semua!! Maaf zahir dan batin.

 

Selamat makan ketupat/nasi impit/kuah kacang/rendang/soto/lemang/sup tulang or whatever your own family-tradition-fav foods sambil menghayati this beautiful song by Najwa Latif :)

 

AdaMu

 

Merenung ke luar jendela

Melihat kebesaranNya

Mensyukuri segala nikmat

Yang dikurniakan di dunia

 

Kau berikan ku kekuatan

Tuk berpegang pada jalan

Walau penuh dengan cabaran

Ku tahu ku adaMu Tuhan

 

Kerna Kau yang satu

Yang setia bersama ku

Dikala ku jatuh ku bangkit kernaMu

Ku tahu ku adaMu disisi ku selalu

Bantulah hambaMu mencari keredhaanMu

Ku tahu ku adaMu

Ku adaMu selalu

 

Kerna Kau yang satu

Yang setia bersama ku

Dikala ku jatuh ku bangkit kernaMu

Ku tahu ku adaMu disisi ku selalu

Bantulah hambaMu mencari keredhaanMu

Ku tahu ku adaMu

Ku adaMu selalu

 

Ku merenung ke luar jendela

Melihat kebesaranNya

Walau penuh dengan cabaran

Ku tahu ku adaMu Tuhan

Special Entry : Belasungkawa

 

Assalammualaikum.

Seminggu sebelum kami fly, lebih kurang sebulan yang lalu, sedang berkira2 nak keluar utk last minutes shopping before balik kampung we received a shocking news. Well, its on Sunday morning, both of our phones were at downstairs while we're at the bedroom getting ready for out. Lepas husband dh siap trun bawah check phone, he get back to me.. "cuba check call logs ada lots of misscalled" -  from the different caller but comes from the same family contacts. Must be something urgent.

Then, I gave a return call to one of my little sister, here what she said , "Kak Fadhilah dah meninggal dunia!"..(hah, fadhilah mana ni, even though my mind already captured the message & mind-picture the said person - sbb susah nak percaya) - she's one of my close cousins during our childhood times! Arwah abah adik beradik dgn mak arwah ni.

 

Innalillahiwainnailaihirojiun..

 

She passed away with her unborn baby - just married last December 2011 & ready to give birth at any time..  Dia terpilih untuk kembali pada yg Esa bersama2 anak dalam kandungan..apa jugak sebab and puncanya, sudah dijanjikan begitu dan entah kenapa I felt dia sgt2 beruntung!

Dapat disembahyangkan di salah sebuah Masjid yg agak besar di Shah Alam bersama makmum yg amat ramai selepas waktu Isya' and guess what? Her dear father yg imamkn solat jenazah and read the talkin which is so touching for everybody bila ayahnya menyebut "Wahai Anakku" dlm talkin tersebut - bukannya kepada hamba seislam seperti biasanya...

 

Semasa hayatnya, for me , arwah sgt baik orangnya.. One big regret, I tak sempat utk berjumpa dgn dia semasa aidilfitri yg lepas..sbb timing tak sama utk balik kampung..Last berjumpa adalah semasa arwah kahwin.. And yg plg menyesal sabtu malam tu (ahad dia meninggal dunia), kami pergi berhari raya ke rumah makcik lg sorang at her house area jugak..mmg dah niat nak drop ke rumah dia skali tapi sbb dh agak lewat, abes dinner kat situ pun dah near 11pm..jauh disudut hati, mungkin sempat lg berjumpa sblum fly nanti.. mmg menyesal yg amat sgt..aperpun jadikanlah pengajaran di masa akan datang..jgn bertangguh utk menziarahi seseorang apabila sudah berniat atau terlintas di hati..kerana kita tidak akan pernah tahu adakah kita akan berjumpa lagi di duniawi ini..

 

Al Fatihah utk arwah Fadhilah dan takziah kepada seluruh keluarga arwah. Semoga arwah ditempatkan dlm golongan org2 yang solehah, Amin!

 

kenangan semasa kecil, masa ni balik dr Melaka..

 On her wedding's day - Subhanallah, anak yg sempat dikeluarkan sgt comel dan suci bersih!

 

Tajuk Nasyid : Bila Waktu Telah Berakhir
Artis : Opick
Album : Istighfar

Bagaimana kau merasa bangga
Akan dunia yang sementara
Bagaimanakah bila semua hilang dan pergi
Meninggalkan dirimu

Bagaimanakah bila saatnya
Waktu terhenti tak kau sedari
Masihkah ada jalan bagimu untuk kembali
Mengulangkan masa lalu

Dunia dipenuhi dengan hiasan
Semua dan segala yang ada akan
Kembali padaNya

Bila waktu telah memanggil
Teman sejati hanyalah amal
Bila waktu telah terhenti
Teman sejati tinggallah sepi

NADIA - HANYA UNTUKMU

NADIA - HANYA UNTUKMU

Hati ini menginginkan cinta
Yang hadirnya mendampingi jiwa
Dikau jauh jasadmu disana
Tapi hadirmu ada di sini

Tuhan dekatkanlah aku kepadanya
Khabarkanlah aku yang aku rindu
Mungkin kau merasa apa yang ku rasa
Engkau yang ku mahu tiada yang sepertimu

Cinta ini hanyalah untukmu
Terimalah aku seadanya
Moga takdir menyatukan kita
Dan bercinta untuk selama-lamanya

And the story begin ...

 
" This song goes out to all special peoples out there (you know who you are)

From the bottom of my heart, I wanna say one thing...Thank You! "

 

RUN

 

I sing it one last time for you
and we really have to go
you've been the only thing that's right
in all life time

And I can barely look at you
but every single time I do
i know will make it anyway
away from here

Light up light up
as if you had the choice
even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder, louder
and we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak

I understand why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
makes it so hard not to cry
and as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do
