memories in the village

 

Memories in the village

Where life was easy mixing freely

We gathered around in our friend's house

The young Romeos dreaming of Juliet


We were trying to make friend

With a pretty girl across his house

Every day we would gather around

Hoping she would come and play


Nothing happened

She was studying in front of her house

She could smile but nothing was encouraging

The young Romeos had no Juliet


Kampong Tengah was in the heart of town

Slowly development came the landscape gone

She moved away so were the young Romeos

The village was gone we moved our separate ways


We never met again

The young Romeos of my time

It is the memories of our young lives

Dreaming of Juliet but nothing realize


Ages ago I went back to see

The old temple still stands

No developer dares to demolish it

They are afraid to suffer death!
