i watched the rainbow


I watched the rainbow
On the island where I stayed
Long ago as I lived there
The best part of my life

The island of Mahsuri
The legend on the score
The virtue of a woman
She stayed true in her belief

In the sky I saw
The gathering clouds changing
Tan Sri Sanusi Junid pointed out to us
The character in Jawi he took a snap short

No need to say
Watching the evening rainbow
By the beach sipping drinks
Nothing on politics; nothing of race

When I left Mahsuri's Island
I had the fondest memories
Though I hardly go back now
On an island I stayed for years

The people I left behind
The years of friendship and gathering
The years of listening to my talk
But Mahsuri still stays in my memory
