Setelah itu The Rollies merilis album Tiada Kusangka yang merupakan repackage atas lagu-lagu yang pernah mereka bawakan di album-album ketika Deddy Stanzah dan Iwan Krisnawan masih bergabung dalam The Rollies. Selanjutnya di era 1977-1979, The Rollies mendapat kontrak rekaman dari Musica Studio's. Ini bisa dianggap sukses kedua dalam perjalanan karier grup ini. Karena di era inilah The Rollies banyak menghasilkan hits seperti Sinar Yang Hilang (Wandi Kuswandi), Dansa Yok Dansa, dan Bimbi (Titiek Puspa), Hari Hari dan Kemarau (Oetje F Tekol), hingga Kau yang Kusayang (Antonius).
Di era ini di samping menggunakan nama New Rollies, Delly dan kawan-kawan mulai membuka diri dengan menyanyikan lagu-lagu karya komposer di luar The Rollies, misalnya A. Riyanto, Titiek Puspa, Johannes Purba, Antonius. Setelah The Rollies merilis album Keadilan (1977) Benny Likumahuwa mengundurkan diri dan lebih banyak berkutat di musik jazz. Posisinya lalu digantikan oleh Wawan Tagalos. Tengku Zulfian Iskandar Madian juga mengundurkan diri setelah merilis album Dansa Yok Dansa (1977), posisinya kemudian digantikan Pomo dari The Pro's.
Pada tahun 1979 The Rollies memperoleh penghargaan Kalpataru dari Menteri Lingkungan Hidup, Emil Salim, karena lagu Kemarau. Lagu yang dikarang oleh Oetje F Tekol, dianggap memuat misi dan pesan mengenai lingkungan hidup.
Bunga Yang Malang
New Rollies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tumbuh jarang, kering dan malang
Tumbuh setangkai bunga hutan
Sungguh harum lagi menawan
Hidup sendiri, sunyi, dan sepi
Penuh pesona, tiada kawan
Semua kumbang pasti ′kan datang'Tuk berebut menghirup madu
Sampai kapankah kau ′kan bertahan?
Dari serangan sang kumbang jalang
Tak bertunas, tiada kawan
Kau 'kan layu seiring waktu
Di tengah padang, alam yang gersang
Tumbuh jarang, kering, dan malang
Tumbuh setangkai bunga hutan
Sungguh harum lagi menawan
Hidup sendiri, sunyi, dan sepi
Penuh pesona, tiada kawan
Semua kumbang pasti 'kan datang
′Tuk berebut menghirup madu
Sampai kapankah kau ′kan bertahan?
Dari serangan sang kumbang jalang
Tak bertunas, tiada kawan
Kau 'kan layu seiring waktu
The song "Bunga Yang Malang" by New Rollies talks about a flower that grows in the middle of a dry and harsh environment. The lyrics describe how the flower is a lonely and vulnerable living being that stands out in the midst of a lifeless landscape. Despite its fragile condition, the flower emanates a captivating scent that attracts bees and other insects, who come to take its nectar. The flower is aware of its limited lifespan and the constant danger it faces from the bees who feed on it, causing it to wither away with time.
The lyrics of the song can be interpreted as a metaphor for human life. Just like the flower in the desert, human beings are vulnerable and prone to hardships and obstacles that come their way. The loneliness and isolation depicted in the song resonate with the human experience of feeling disconnected and alienated at times. The metaphor of the bees and insects that seek out the flower's nectar can be interpreted as people who come and go in our lives, leaving a mark that shapes our existence for better or for worse. Ultimately, the song speaks to the transience of life and the importance of cherishing the beauty that surrounds us, no matter how short-lived it may be.
