Ewah bulan. Teraju tiga.
Ewah ewah. Ewah bulan.

Ini malam, sama-sama.
Sama-sama bersukaria.

Greetings dear readers! I am going to start my blog today with the verses from 'Wau bulan', which is a popular Kelantanese folk song. I believe that 99% of Malaysians are familiar with the song. So, what happen to the 1%? Well, they are still babies who can't sing yet. It shows that everyone in Malaysia knows this song. Our mothers used to lullaby us with this all-time favourite folk song for it is simple, yet beautiful.
~wau bulan~
Have you ever wondered, what the song is mainly about, whenever your mouth is humming the tune of this catchy and lively song? Yes! You are right. The song is actually about the 'wau' itself where it stands for its name, 'Wau Bulan'(Malaysian traditional kite).
The song was produced spontaneously long long ago by a man whose feeling was filled with excitement and happiness while playing the 'Wau Bulan'. The first verse mentioned about the kite. How amazing it is to see the 'Wau Bulan' soaring high in the sky. Where in the second verse, it is described that the people would gather among themselves for a fiesta at night after a 'Wau Bulan' is flown during the day.The Wau Bulan is the symbol of happiness and joyous to the people.
~(^_^)~ enjoy reading...!
