Song - Senja Di Kuala Lumpur

(Sung by Broery)

Ku cuba akan mengubah
cerita dalam lagu
kenangan ku yang indah bersama mu
ku menyusuri jalan
di kota mu yang megah
tak sedar siang telah menjelma senja

kan ku ingat...kan ku kenang
senja indah senja di Kuala Lumpur
kan ku bawa...kan ku simpan
senja indah senja di Kuala Lumpur

di bawah sinar bulan
cinta kita berpadu
berjanji akan sehidup semati
tiba saat berpisah
ku terima bisikan mu
berjanji menunggu kembali

kan ku ingat...kan ku kenang
senja indah senja di Kuala Lumpur
kan ku bawa...kan ku simpan
senja indah senja di Kuala Lumpur

setahun telah berlalu
tadi tiba surat mu
ku genggam dalam pernikahan mu

Broery - Senja Di Kuala Lumpur



Back in late 1990s, I worked in KL and left my wife and kids in my home town, Sungai Petani. So for several years, I had to travel back to my home town to be with them on weekends.


Since I drove back to my home town and returned to KL alone then, my car radio became my best companion. During those journeys, I usually tuned in to a radio station that played oldies and light music. One day, the radio station broadcasted a Malay song. The singer sang that melodious song with his silky-like and soulful voice. I fell for the song immediately. At the end of the song, I paid extra attention to what the DJ said and quickly jotted down the name of the singer, Broery, and the title of the song, “Senja Di Kuala Lumpur”.


For several years, my monotonous journey to and back from my hometown would become more enriching whenever this song was played over the radio station.


When I started my LP collection hobby in June 2006, this record naturally went into my earliest must-buy list. At the end of June 2006, I found Broery LP, “Senja Di Kuala Lumpur” and bought it right away.


This is the third LP that go into my collection. I still listen to this LP regularly nowadays.

Song List:


Side A - Senja Di Kuala Lumpur, Seandainya Aku Ni Raja, Mira, Setulus Cinta, Berdisko


Side B – Lahirnya Seorang Seniman, Din Teksi, Titiwangsa, Sepuluh Budak Hitam, Hey! (Dengarkanlah Bisikan Hatiku)
