Kucari mimpi mimpi
Tak pernah ku temui
Umpama pengembara
Ku hadapi segalanya
Walau sering terkecewa
Sekali ku melangkah
Aku kan terus melangkah
Biar pun ku sedari
Ku meniti pelangi
Kerana keindahan warnanya mempesona
Kelabu pandangan mata
Lingkungan warna warna indah
Biar seketika
Pelangi di langit yang muram
Menasyikkan
Sejenak ku biarkan diri melayani hati
Mencari mimpi mimpi indah
Sia sia,
Seumpama pengembara
Terpedaya
Kerana mimpi
Hanya mimpi.....
Driving home as it was getting dark a few days ago I heard this song from the 80s hauntingly sung by Azlina Aziz. I had always liked the song and the way Azlina sang it. And I had in the past thought the lyric beautiful and meaningful. But today on reflection, I think the message of the song is rather negative - threading on a rainbow seeking meaningless dreams which will never come true just as the rainbow will surely disappear. Well I beg to disagree. A dream, however frivolous is the start of everything. I have fulfilled my dreams, not all but most. And I will still dreams on (or have ambition and entertain hope) and strive to achieve them. What is life without dreams and hopes . And after all, God is so great, you need to only ask Him, pray for it and work towards it and always be grateful for what you get, Insha Allah.
