Like I have always mentioned, "Ten million viewers cannot be wrong!" Pretty Malaysian *nyonya Ms Angeline Wong sings it well and her expressions denote the very animated and cute lyrics that go with the song. Simple as the song is, unless you understand the Malay language, you might still be wondering why it established so many views.

A *nyonya is a Straits-born Chinese lady.

She is in sarong kebaya.

Below is the literal translation; 

nuances in the language can differ:

My figure is slim not because I have insufficient food

My eyes are red not because I have insufficient sleep

Sad is my heart because... of my **sweetheart [twice].

A week ago he came home, 

My yearning for him left me half-dead [mentally exhausted?],

My affair with him, oh oh, my sweetie pie, oh [twice].

'You promised that I'm the only one you'll wait for

When I left, you injected the #Melati flower

But now I realise it was all a dream'.

I sing alone to amuse myself

I don't want to be hurt a second time...

My experience with him, my sweetie pie, oh [thrice].

[the whole song is repeated]

# Bunga Melati = A Jasmine Flower

Symbol of purity and devotion.

*nyonya = Straits-born lady who speaks a mix of Hokien/Malay. 

She would usually be dressed in a sarong kebaya. 

**'sweetheart', 'sweetie pie' or 'lover' 

#Bunga Melati = the Jasmine flower

'kau sunting-kan' = literal = ' you injected'
