Pantun Muhibah – an ode to Goodwill

English verse by Damien Lim.
Translated into Baba Malay by Rocky Chan Eng Thai.

Burung rusa berdua menyayi,
Lagu medoli kenang di-hati,
Penuh cinta saya memberi,
Bahagian muhibah bawak ke-sini.
Loceng bunyi jauh dengar,
Khabar baik taah boleh ukur ,
Saya doa tuan-puan semua,
Aman sehat panjang umur!

***
The birds and mouse deer sing,
Melodies are the tunes of life,
With true love my heart brings,
The joy of sharing this gift,
The bells the ring a ding,
The smiles that it will bring,
When chimes go ting-a-ling,
The good news it now sings.
