2 sejoli - inul daratista

Last night, i really am hooked up by one musician from Indonesia called Inul Daratista, a dangdut singer from 90's,,,

"Dangdut is a genre of Indonesian popular music that is partly derived from Malay, Arabic and Hindustani music. It developed in the 1970s among working class Muslim youth, but beginning in the late 1990s reached a broader following in Indonesia and Malaysia."

she was the only dangdut singer who managed to get into TIME magazine
for the link, click it here

she also changed the dangdut industry in Indonesia by combining dangdut genre with another genre such as pop, techno, rock, etc.

here is one of the song which i particularly like :

it was originally sang by Dewa 19, but Inul Daratista made a dangdut version of it.

the song title is 2 sejoli or two lovers in english,,,

dua sejoli / two lovers - Inul Daratista

translation :
( might not be 100% correct )

Wipe your tears away,

That drops on your cheek

I will make sure that everything is gonna be alright

*Eventhough u keep on staring the high skies above

it would not put an end to every desires in this world

**Eve was created in this world

To accompanied Adam

So does yourself,

Was created to accompanied me

Think for a while, the meaning of you existence here

Don’t you ever denied that you are a women

You should have become

the jewel of my honeyed cage

Eventhough I might sometimes falls on my knees in front of you

**

Back to *

Repeat * and ** till the end
