ANAK-KU SAZALI (1956) Malay to English subtitles by ASEAN1984 Fansub in tribute to Malaysia's best director: P. Ramlee
Where are you going, Hassan? - To listen to the keroncong being played (a kind of traditional Malay music)
[Rosiah Chik performing the keroncong song "Indung Indung".
She was known during her lifetime for actively promoting Malay asli songs which is now a dying art]
Hassan, let's go home. Otherwise father will get angry
Not yet. Let's listen to one more
When you return home, don't tell your parents I asked you here
Where are the children? Until now, we haven't even seen their shadow
This must be Hassan's doing. Bringing those kids to watch the keroncong. Really a bad boy
What's wrong? What has happened?
Why aren't you saying anything? Like a mute and deaf person
What can I say?
What is there not to say? Right in front of our eyes, that boy Hassan is teaching our children to be bad.
What is there not to say, he says.
When Hassan gets home, whack him nicely. Throw him out of the house!
It is not that...
Oh, is it because for 15 years his mother has worked for us. So that means he can do anything he pleases?
But since his mother's death, who took care of him? We took care of him!
We give him clothes, food, drinks, money and even a salary!
If all he does is clean the pen, Minah can do that as well
Enough, dear
What? You want to leave me?
If that is the case, you can keep him
Just let me leave with my own children
I cannot stand looking at Hassan's face
If he wants to be a robber and thief
Our children might follow
Go in
Go get the cane!
Where did you go? - We went to watch the keroncong, sir
Watch the keroncong?!
Why did you bring Aini and Mansoor along?
They didn't want to go, but I still asked them to
We thought we just go for a short while, sir
Father, it wasn't that way - Quiet! No one asked you!
It hurts!
You think you can do as you please?
Don't think I'm satisfied yet
Tomorrow morning, you take your salary. And leave this house!
Pitiful. It is painful, Hassan? - Not at all. It will be alright in 3 days
If father has really chased you away, where would you live?
We have to persuade father not to - Don't think about it
Don't Mansoor - Why not?
Don't you like us, Hassan?
Of course I do. Which other friends do I have?
Tomorrow, your father will be paying me my salary
I can buy a violin
But who is going to feed you?
Where are you going to stay?
I don't care about that, as long as I can buy a violin
That decision is solely my choice
I'd stand and place the violin here
I shall sing
I still remember clearly
The day I bought a violin
Only cost seven ringgit
But that was all the money I had
The money left by my mother
And my own savings
I got a new job at the harbour
And Aziz, the boat owner was generous enough to allow me to stay in the hut by the jetty
I told Mansoor about the violin I bought
Play us a song
Bring the boat!
Bring the key
Every night after work, no matter if it rained
I would go to another village, to learn the violin
Together now
Mr. Sulaiman took the trouble to teach me the violin
Without him, I wouldn't understand what music meant
Sometimes I would learn until late at night
And what troubled me was crossing the thorny trees at night
There are not a lot of people passing through now
But remember don't fall asleep. I will return by evening time. Remember, alright?
[Song: Tanya Sama Hati (Ask The Heart)]
Tanya pada pokok, apa sebab goyang Ask the tree, why it sways
Nanti jawab pokok, angin yang goncang The tree replies, the wind is blowing
Tanya sama langit, apa sebab hujan Ask the sky, why it rains
Nanti jawab langit, tanyalah awan The sky replies, ask the clouds
Awan nanti kata, aku kandung air The clouds replies, I contain water
Sampai tempat sejuk, aku pun cair Reaching a cold place, I too melt
Tengok dalam air, nampak bayang-bayang Look into the water, see the shadows
Campak satu batu, bayang pun hilang Throw in a stone, the shadows disappear
Tengok dalam air, nampak bayang-bayang Look into the water, see the shadows
Campak satu batu, bayang pun hilang Throw in a stone, the shadows disappear
Tanya sama hati Ask the heart
Apa asal sayang What is the source of love
Adakah tandanya nampak dipandang Are the signs noticeable when you look
Kumbang rayu bunga The beetle pleas to the flower
Bulan dan bintangnya The moon and stars
Punya tanda-tanda hubungan mesra The signs of intimate relationship
Tanya sama hati Ask the heart
Pernahkah merindu If it yearns
Ingat masa lena apa mimpimu Do you remember what you dreamt
Masa berjauhan Time apart
Apa nan dikenang What to recall
Bila difahamkan itulah sayang That is love when understood
Jikalau tidak kerana sayang If not because of love
Kuntuman kasih tak mungkin kembang The petals of love might not blossom
Andainya jemu mengganti rindu Suppose one is weary with yearning
Jambangan mesra tentulah layu The closeness will wither
Tanya sama hati Ask the heart
Pernahkah merindu If it yearns
Ingat masa lena apa mimpimu Do you remember what you dreamt
Masa berjauhan Time apart
Apa nan dikenang What to recall
Bila difahamkan itulah sayang That is love when understood
Itulah sayang That is love
What is wrong?
What are you pondering about?
Nothing's wrong
Did you receive letters from Mansoor?
Yes, he is well in Singapore
The clouds cover the moon's shine
Yes...
See how the light changes
You are a part of all of this
Never to separate from it
You have the willpower to withstand the changes
Let it all stay still and never change
Like water in river and the clouds that cover the moon
So that our love remains pure
Are you capable of doing so? - What's with you?
I am going home! - Aini
Let me sent you home - There is no need to I can go home by myself
How nervous and shocked I felt that night
I have never seen Aini behave this way before
Peace be with you, Mr. Ismail - Peace be also with you, Mr. Aziz
How are you? - I am fine Long time no see
Loosen the boat's ropes - Alright, sir
How are you, Fatimah? - I am well
Haven't seen you in awhile
If you come, then we share a great opportunity to eat 'nasi minyak' (Flavoured Ghee Rice)
Mr. Ismail has agreed it seems - Is that true?
Yes - Praise be to God
He is really lucky
She is very young, elegant, attractive and also rich
Mr. Ismail's son is like a king
Doesn't need to cook, or do the washing. They have seven servants!
And three chefs. Believe me when I say - Be thankful
What's with you? I'm in a hurry. Why are you day-dreaming? I want to reach home before night. Hurry!
Please send my regards to the young man's family. May God bless them with success
That night, I waited as usual
But this is the first time, Mahani (Aini) didn't come without informing earlier
In the end, I made the decision to see her instead
Who is that?!
Thief! Help!
What's that? Thief! - Thief!
Thief! Thief! Catch him! Catch him!
The thought of sadness came to me. How would Mahani ever consider marrying me?
No one has thought of me as attractive
And the picture of my life in poverty became clearer
And a rich teenage girl cannot live just on music
That night, I made the decision to leave the village immediately and go far away
Where are you going?
I have to go faraway, Aini
Yes, I have to go faraway
I know I am worthless
And I never accomplished anything
Or established relationships to have any friends
I am also a human being
I cannot stand to see you being someone else's
I cannot ferry you across the river with my boat, either
When you leave this village with your husband
Please forgive me
For hurting you
Forget me
And erase me from your memories
I cannot forget you
I will always remember you
Remember you as a coward! A coward!
You know, Aini
In this world, for me there is only you
You are worth more than my life. But what else can I do?
Bring me along with you, Hassan! Where ever you may go
But you know my condition
Why can't you understand that you are meant for me? My life is yours (The memories of my life is only of you)
I am a part of you. All the pain you have felt, I too share the pain
All the joy you've felt, I too share the feeling
If everything were destroyed in this world, and only you were left. Life is still complete to me
Bring me along, Hassan. Where ever you may go
I will be loyal to you as a slave
I will even be willing to beg for you
I sacrifice everything for you. I won't be able to live without you
Hello, Mr. Mansoor. How are you? - I am fine
Who are you waiting for? - I'm waiting for my relatives
I am also waiting for my father-in-law. He always sits in 1st Class
Is that so?
Here comes the train. I'm going first, alright? - Alright
How are you, Hassan? - I am fine, Mansoor
Did you receive my letter? - Yes, but why?
Does father know you are coming here?
Oh so, the both of you ran away from the village? - Let me explain everything to you later
Come, Aini
But Hassan, what will happen next?
Mansoor, I too know that what I am doing now is wrong
But I promise, I will sacrifice everything for Aini's happiness
At first, I have planned to runaway alone.
But because Aini wanted to come along. I didn't have the heart to leave her
At the time, I had no one to discuss this with
That is why we are here, Mansoor
Come now, Hassan. I'm sure Aini feels sad being there by herself alone
There is no use crying, Aini. You have done a foolish thing
But if you were willing to do so, you must also be willing to see it through with determination
First of all, I need to arrange your marriage
Will you help us, Mansoor?
Of course
Wipe away your tears
Let go now shall we? - Alright
I shall go now, Aini - Alright
I shall not forget this, Mansoor
It is alright. Go home, Aini is alone now
I am returning home too. Let me wish you happiness
Thank you, Mansoor - Don't mention it, Hassan
Do you know, Hassan?
Today is the happiest day of my life
Now we are husband and wife
Will you grant me a request?
Anything at all. Just tell me
Can you play me that song?
How were this second semester's exams? Were there many of your students who passed?
There were, but it wasn't the same as last semester
There's Hassan now - How did it go? Did you get the job?
Yes, I did - Where at?
Would you like some coffee? - It's alright
At the moment, I am playing the violin
But he promised to give me an opportunity to compose a song in one of the plays
That is splendid, Hassan
If that is the case, you have to get yourself a suit
That isn't necessary. What I have now is alright
No, you can't Hassan. You can't wear like that
All musicians must wear a suit - Really?
Yes! Come! The shop is just nearby
One... two... three...
Good
That has to be quicker. Like this
Get ready everyone!
There is a full audience now, come on let's begin!
Such bad luck, fate I suppose
Lost in the deep forest
The jungle's king's prince
Come to sulk from the nation
Putera lari membawa diri The prince ran away
Tidak mahu diberi isteri Did not want to be given a wife
Dengan puteri raja bakti With the princess king of devotion
Yang hitam legam tidak diperi That is pitch black in nature
Sudah nasib hendaknya malang Such bad luck this prince has
Adik celorong pun hilang Brother went missing
Tinggal lah aku bercelorong seorang Left me here alone
Di tengah rimbau malam dan siang Between night and day
Balik ke istana hatiku takut I feel scared to return to the castle
Perintah raja mesti di ikut The king's orders I must follow
Kalau tidak aku pun maut If not I shall die
Kepala dan badan tidak tersangkut Head and body no longer connected
Disini nampak sebuah tasik Here we see a lake
Pandangannya banyak serba cantik The scenery is abundant with beautiful
Di sini berhenti lebih baik To stop here is better
Dari merayau hilir-mudik Better than wandering up and down
Marilah wahai saudara Come fellow friend
Mari tari-menari dengar
Di tasik indah bersegar
Let dance and sing
Whoever hears this magical flute will be ridden with leeches
Let us have a bath
From above this heavenly pleasure
This must be bestowed from god
This is like a dream come true
I'll take their clothes
And also their magical flute
Then I can wish for something
And they will grant it to me
Who is that rascal
That has stolen all our clothes?
What are we going to do now? Even our flute has been taken
Here I am
The one who stole all your clothes
If one eats fish
Try to cook it with curry
Why did you become a thief?
Are there not enough stones in this country?
Oh do forgive us
We will grant you whatever
Come here for awhile
What a splendid performance tonight. This is exactly the way
The audience loved your song. Thank you, Hassan!
Thank you - You're welcome
It's true. It was really this good
But if I weren't the one to dance...
Who is that? - It's Hassan
You were frightened?
It is late. Why haven't you slept yet?
Don't wait up if I return home late
I feel it is a sin if I don't wait up for you
When night comes, I worry
Thinking about you not sleeping
Waiting for me until I return
But you're really tired and sleepy
The show today was great and there were many people attending
Eat, eat.
What's wrong? - Nothing
I hope you're not angry. I'd rather be with you
Please let's move away from here
Why?
The people's attitude here aren't good
When I get water, the coffee shop patrons often disturb me
When at night waiting for you. That boy Razak, he comes around to spread rumours and mocks us
When I complain to his mother, we are cited as bad examples instead. I feel so insulted. I can't stay here any longer
Please, Hassan. Don't argue with that boy
We haven't found another home yet. If you do so, we might get scorned for doing so
We be patient first, alright?
I won't argue with anyone
But I will do my best to improve our current situation
I want to give you an easy life. I want you to be happy
Oh, you're here too, Mansoor? How are you? - I am fine
I got a new job at a hotel. The salary is double - That is great!
This is the appointment letter - Let me see
Now we are able to rent another home
I just a saw a house. The house is big, beautiful, has a yard and flowers
If I am not mistaken, it looks exactly like your house, Mansoor
If you agree, I'll even rent the house today
Then we'll get ourselves a servant
So you can be accompanied at night
What about that promise you made?
Alright, I'll buy it for you. Go dress up
Hassan, Aini is very lucky to have married you
What is that?
This is it
It's very nice. Place it on the table
Let me get you some coffee
Quickly, alright? Alright
Nice, isn't it?
Did you buy it?
No, I stole it
Aww, answer me nicely
Not as if I would steal
I have a paying job
The red colour is pretty
Like a rose

Is Hassan at home, auntie?
He is not home right now, but he will be back soon.
Miss Aini is in. Please do go in. - Thank you
Do come in
The house is looking better now, isn't it Mansoor? - Yes indeed, Aini
That's the music box. I now know how to spin it. - Really?
Have a seat
Please wait awhile
Look at this. Hassan composed it.
His composition is good
Yes, the song is good too. It goes something like this...
Tiada kata secantik bahasa There are no words beautiful
Untuk ku puji, adinda For me to praise you, my love
What are you doing with that book? Give it to me
Isn't this mine, since you composed it for me?
You took my book from inside, didn't you. Give it to me. - No
Give it back to me - I don't want to
This isn't a joke. That composition was really good
Work your best on it so that someday you will become famous
But when I tell him, he said people will only laugh at it
He was just kidding
Coffee, Miss
Please drink
I'm returning to the kampong. Father is arranging my marriage
When are you getting married?
Next month
You said you were not getting married
Yes...
But what can I do?
The incident with the two of you have caused sorrow to my parents
I can't be the one to hurt them as well
Wouldn't it be good if I could return with you?
I have always wanted to see you get married
When are you returning?
Tomorrow morning
The 8.00 AM train
Tomorrow? - Yes
It's alright
We shall both see you off at the station
Have a chat first...
I need to go change. Please wait awhile - Alright
Anything?
Please send my regards to Mother and Father
I wish to ask for their forgiveness
If I have caused them sorrow
But what can I do?
I could not live happily if I married someone else
It is fate that I am with Hassan
God willing, I will send your regards. Don't be sad.
I'm off to work
But remember to have something to eat first before you go
See you
How long has your wife been pregnant? - About two weeks
Do you mind if we see her? - Not at all. Please wait awhile
How do you do, Mr. Jaafar? Please come in Ms. Fatimah and Mr. Rahman
That is my wife Rubiah.
This is Mr. Rahman, Mr. Jaafar, Ms. Fatimah and Ms. Salbiah
How do you do? - I'm fine
Please have a seat
Please have a seat, teacher (Mr. Jaafar)
Doesn't your wife make you miss the kampong (life)?
No wonder people are dropping by
(?) Just to see my wife
Is Hassan coming today? - He said he is, but will be a little late
Hassan is really good
His performance last week was great
And his voice is so melodious
It would be no surprise if he succeeds
Because of the way he learnt music at an early age - it was very different. It was special
Peace be with you - Peace be also with you
What a long life! We were just talking about you
How do you do? - We are fine
This is it. Hassan's new record
Congratulations!

Mengharum jiwa Enriches my soul
Dinda puspa gemala You are a "bezoar stone" flower

I'll get a doctor, Hassan!
I'm worried. Is this disease life-threatening?
There is nothing to worry about. Only good news
A new person is coming (A newborn is expected) - Thank you, doctor
Aini is asking for you
