My Second Song - by Deni Chau

My Second Song.

Music and words written by Deni Serantak Chau.
Place of origin and date: Jakarta, 13 June 1995.
Song number: 2.

The original sound recording.

About this song:
While i was composing a sad music, i also started composing a happy music which finally became My Second Song.

My Second Song (Bahasa Indonesia title: Lagu Kedua ku) was being composed by me before and during my final year exams at SMP Hati Kudus in Jakarta Indonesia.

It was completed (as 4/4 time signature song) just right after I formally left the school before departed to live in Perth Australia on 29 June 1995 and lived there without a music instrument. Ten months later in April 1996, I returned to Jakarta for holiday; this song was modified and its lyric was totally rewritten. Finally the song became a 2/4 time signature song. My Second Song and My First Song are still the best early songs I (was still a teenager) ever wrote in Indonesia.

The Original handwritten sheet music of My Second Song.

My unfinished sad music became my third song title "My Sad Music" in April 1996. I started composing another happy song which became "Christmas Holiday" eight months later.

My Second Song supposed to be sung by me when I returned to Jakarta in April 1996, but it did not happen.

The Lyrics:
Like my first song, the lyrics was written in Bahasa Indonesia:
Hi Sahabat semua.
Aku tlah kembali tuk bernanyi lagi.
Lagu ku kedua.
Lagu lebih cepat dan gembira.
Sahabat ku semua.
Perbolehkan aku berdiri di panggung.
Lagu ku kedua.
Akan menghibur mu semua.
Mari teman berdiri semua.
Bergoyang sambil tepuk tangan.
Lupakan semua rasa sedih mu.
Hari ini hari gembira.

Hi Sahabat semua.
Aku ingin bernyanyi sekali lagi.
Lagu ku kedua.
Akan membuat mu gembira.
Sahabat ku semua.
Bernyanyi lah bersama-sama dengan ku.
Lagu ku kedua.
Tidak pernah bosan didengar.
Mari teman berdiri semua.
Bergoyang sambil tepuk tangan.
Lupakan semua rasa sedih mu.
Hari ini hari gembira.
