Konsert

Saya adalah penggemar muzik.
Tetapi hanya muzik yang sedap di telinga sahaja yang saya layan. (Mestilah. Kalau tidak sedap,buat apa layan, sakit telinga dan jiwa sahaja, kan?)

Bila ada sahaja konsert nasyid, saya jarang tidak pergi menonton secara live.
Bukan sebab minat pada artis itu, tetapi minat untuk mendengar muzik, melodi dan lirik itu secara live. Terasa ada kelainan daripada rakaman.
Entah. Ada orang cakap, saya sentimental.

Konsert terakhir saya pergi adalah pada tahun 2009 di UIA iaitu Konsert Opick.
Dua kali Maher Zain datang membuat konsert, saya ajak suami pergi. Tetapi En Suami cakap, dengar sahaja mp3, beribu-ribu kali pun boleh dengar. Ya, memang betul tetapi....Tetapi tidak mengapalah, memikirkan tidak sesuai membawa anak kecil ke konsert dan tidak sampai hati meninggalkan si kecil pada malam hari, saya beralah. (Iffah jangan risau, ummi tak kecik hati pun...)

Sekarang, hari-hari saya buka youtube konsert Maher Zain baru-baru ini. Cuma mahu dengar lagu terbarunya bertajuk Freedom yang dicipta khas mengenangkan perjuangan rakyat Mesir. Sedap alunannya. Jom layan.....!




Ini liriknya yang menyentuh hati

Gathered here with my family
My neighbours and my friends
Standing firm together against oppression holding hands
It doesn't matter where you're from
Or if you're young, old, women or man
We're here for the same reason; we want to take back our land

Oh God thank you
For giving us the strength to hold on
And now we're here together

Calling you for freedom, freedom
We know you can hear our call ooh
We're calling for freedom, fighting for freedom
We know you won’t let us fall oh
We know you're here with us

No more being prisoners in our homes
No more being afraid to talk
Our dream is just to be free, just to be free
Now when we've taking our first step
Towards a life of complete freedom
We can see our dream getting closer and closer, we're almost there

Oh God thank you
For giving us the strength to hold on
And now we're here together

Calling you for freedom, freedom
We know you can hear our call ooh
We're calling for freedom, fighting for freedom
We know you won’t let us fall oh
We know you're here with us

I can feel the pride in the air
And it makes me strong to see everyone
Standing together holding hands in unity
Shouting out load demanding their right for freedom
This is it and we're not backing of
Oh God we know you hear our call

And we're calling you for freedom, freedom
We know you can hear our call ooh
We're calling for freedom, calling for freedom
We know you won’t let us fall oh
We know you're here with us
