Completed a Joget choreography to this song. I just love the Joget rhythm. Some part of me will be moving even if I don't feel like getting onto the dance floor. :D
I'm hoping to post the dance video after recording it tomorrow with a few of my students. Hopefully not too much editing is required. Meanwhile, I've posted the song here for anyone who would like to have a listen. A rough translation of the lyrics from Bahasa Malaysia to English is available below (after the video).
HAPPY HEART JOGET
(VERSE)
Young one, don't be consumed by the praises of others
Beware that pride comes before a fall
No matter what others may say
We must measure our clothes on our own body
We must measure our clothes on our own body
(meaning: know ourselves, our strengths and limitations)
It could be that my smile is not as charming
My body not as shapely
But let others say what they wish
Our lot is determined by and a gift from the Almighty
Our lot is determined by and a gift from the Almighty
(CHORUS)
Let them laugh (at me)
As long as they are happy
My heart will be light too
To see others happy (because of me)
I'm not asking for sympathy
Do not want any pity
My heart is light this way
I leave it to the Almighty
Repeat VERSE & CHORUS
I leave it to the Almighty
I leave it to the Almighty
Come on, let's do the Joget
the Happy Heart Joget
Forget the conflict in your soul
Accept my hand
Come with me and together
Build our self-confidence
That our heart will be light and happy from now on
