My lovely flower of Malaysia,
Your face is drawing me
Among the clouds to venture,
Above the rolling sea.
Mayhap I’ll soar in sunlight,
My wings aflame with gold,
Or see your eyes in starlight
A-twinkling bright and bold.
Then pulling with your power
Your lover down to land,
My gentle, Malaysian flower,
I’ll see you where you stand.
I’ll see you, you’ll be waving,
And through glad tears I’ll know
My garden rose is waiting
For me to come and grow.
