Bunga Melor
Datuk Sharifah Aini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bukan ditaman yg indah bunga melur
Hanya disudut halaman tiada dihiasi Jambangan indah permai.
Tapi warnamu yg putih bunga melur
Tandanya suci dan murni bunga melur
Walaupun ditiup debu
Warnamu dan baumu
Ibarat gadis desa
Bunga melur sederhana
Walau kering tak bercahya bunga melur
Bau memikat jiwa
Semoga sabar dahulu bunga melur
Ada disuatu ketika bunga melur
Masanya akan menjelma
Disanjung dan dipuja
Oleh gadis remaja...

In the first stanza of the song "Bunga Melur," Datuk Sharifah Aini describes the location of the melur flower at the edge of a garden, not in a beautifully decorated area. However, its pure white color signifies its innocence and purity. Even if it gets blown by the wind and gets dirty, its color and fragrance remain captivating to the heart.
The second stanza compares the melur flower to a simple village girl. Although the melur flower may not be as striking as other flowers, its fragrance is entrancing. The flower is a metaphor for the pure and unassuming nature of the village girl, whose beauty and grace will eventually be recognized and adored by others.
Overall, the song celebrates the simple beauty and purity of the melur flower and likens it to the qualities of a modest, unassuming woman.
