I Am Who I Am lyrics

The lyrics for his song are out, in English and Malay:

我還是我
Aku Tetap Aku
I am Who I am

我的名字 叫明志 這個自我介紹方式
Izinkan ku memperkenalkan diriku, nama saya ialah Namewee
My name is Namewee this is how I introduce myself
從小老師 就認為我是想要惹事
Sejak kecil lagi, cikgu ingatkan ku seorang yang suka buat hal
My teachers always thought I was looking for trouble
我熱愛文字 我討厭公式 我不想面對考試
Aku suka menulis, aku benci formula dan ujian sekolah
I love literature but I hate the school system and all its exams
我更討厭你規定我的頭髮款式
Aku lagi tak suka jika sesiapa komen kat style rambut ku
I get annoyed when people comment on my hair style
我的思考方式 沒有人能夠抑制
Pemikiran style aku, tiada orang boleh Ubahi
I was born with a mind that is beyond the control of others
大人都固執的怪我固執 不懂事
Orang dewasa anggap aku ni degil dan tak matang
Adult always blamed me for being stubborn & naive
我明白 待人處事都有 它的模式
Aku tahu memang ada pelbagai caranya berurusan
I realized our society has its way of life
但不代表 全部人都要變成孔子
Tapi ia tak bermakna semua orang harus menjadi Konfusius
But that doesn’t mean all of us must become Confucius

十五歲 那年初我染上音樂的毒
Pada umur 15 tahun, aku discover muzik
Age of 15 I discovered the joy of music
我透過音符 來降低我內心的無助
Nota nota membantu ku lalui masa yang tak berdaya
Through its notes I find ways to express my thoughts
我學習美術 但依然無法省悟
Aku cuba belajari seni tetapi ia tak membantu
I tried picking up art but it could not hold my inner feelings
是孤獨創造梵谷 還是梵谷創造孤獨
Adalah kesepian mencipta Van Gogh ataupun Van Gogh yang menciptakan kesepian?
Was loneliness created Van Gogh or Van Gogh created loneliness?
中學畢業後 華人得自求多福
Tamat sekolah menengah, kebanyakkan orang cina mencari rezeki di luar Negara
Upon finishing high school Chinese must find ways to further their studies
揮揮衣袖 我決定要到台灣留宿
Akhirnya, aku pun membuat keputusan untuk menginap di Taiwan
Faced with challenges I decided to pursue my education in Taiwan
爸爸媽媽不要擔心 我不會辜負
Ayah, mak jangan risau. Ku takkan buat kamu kecewa
Don’t worry mom and dad I promise not to fail you
等我讀完書 一定會回到歸屬
Habis belajar nanti, mesti saya balik ke Negara tercinta
I will return to my beloved home when I graduate
我會好好過 我必須好好過
Ku akan hidup dengan baik
I will be fine I must stay strong
想家的時候 我就打開電腦拼命創作
Apabila rindu kat keluarga, ku akan terus cipta lagu
When I lone for home I turn on my PC and started writing
牆壁上的大馬國旗 是我的寄託
Bendera Malaysia yang gantung kat dinding menjadi inspirasi ku
My Malaysian flag on the wall keeping my spirit alive
床頭的那張全家福 總是讓我振作
Gambar keluarga kat tepi katil tetap membuatkan ku lebih tabah
My family portrait beside my bed keeping my strong
一個人 在外國 要獨立生活
Seorang hidup di luar Negara, ku mesti lebih gagah
As a foreigner living in a strange country I learn to become independent
我做過很多工作 我面對很多數落
Aku buat banyak kerja sambilan, ku hadap banyak gagalan
I took up many jobs to pay my bills and tuition fees
無論再辛苦 還有音樂陪著我
Tak semestinya betapa susahnya, ku masih ditemani muzik
When times were tough at least I still had my music with me
我理想沒有變 因為我 還是我
Impian ku tidak berubah, kerana aku tetap aku
My dream did not change, I am still who I am

我有我自己的夢 自己會走
Aku akan berusaha mencapai impian ku sendiri
I have my own dream I will keep going
就算再寂寞
walaupun sunyi
Even it’s a lonely path
請原諒我的衝動 我會好好過
Maafkan impuls aku, aku akan hidup dengan baik-baik
Please forgive me for being impulsive, I will be fine
(相信我還是我)
(percayalah, aku tetap aku)
Believe me I am still who I am
我不怕暴雨狂風 將我淹沒
Aku tak takut hujan lebat membanjiri ku
I’m not afraid the obstacles cos it will not drown me
毅然往前走
Aku tetap akan berusaha
I will keep moving forward
就算旅途再癲頗 我不能回頭
Wakaupun jalan ini agak sukar tapi aku tak akan putus asa
Even if it is a journey of no return I will not give up
(相信我還是我)
(percayalah, aku tetap aku)
Believe me I am still who I am

2007 年 那是個遲來的夏天
Tahun 2007, itu musim panas yang datang agak lewat
Summer came late in the year 2007
改編國歌事件 讓我人生從此改變
Mengubah lagu negaraku membuatkan hidupan ku berubah
My life was forever changed with my national anthem song
透過網際網絡 我闖了禍
Melalui internet, aku menghadapi masalah
I got into trouble through the cyber space
但我堅持沒有犯錯 有人 說我叛國
Aku disalah fahami dan ada orang kata aku ni pengkhidnat negara
I was misunderstood and got accused of betraying my country
有人 想幹掉我 有人 說不讓我回國
Ada yang tak bagi aku balik ke Negara, ada yang ingin bunuh aku
My life was threaten and I even was told I cannot come home
要我磕頭認錯 政客趁機出頭
Saya dipaksa mengaku salah, orang kuat semua keluar menunjuk muka
I was pushed into the limelight by influential people trying to gain fame
媒體還配合炒作 世界 各地的記者call我
Pihak media dari seluruh dunia tak berhenti call saya
Media got into the action and suddenly international reporters started calling me
我必須學會沉著
Aku mesti tabah
I had to learn to stay calm
謠言越來越多 讓人陷入惶恐
Gosip angin semakin banyak, membuatkan ku makin risau
Rumours started flowing and my heart started pounding
甚至 還有人把偷渡路線圖 send給我
Saya juga terima peta haram tunjuk aku hilangkan diri
I even received maps with international escape routes
爸爸媽媽 對不起 不要難過
Ayah mak, ku minta maaf .. Janganlah kamu sedih
Sorry mom and dad please don’t be sad
牆壁上的國旗 我從來沒有拆過
Bendera Malaysia di dinding tidak pernah saya turunkan
I have not taken down the flag hanging in my bedroom
我破了千萬點閱 也上了各大版面
Youtube ku ditonton berjuta orang, gambarku juga dipampar dalam banyak surat khabar
My youtube video broke records and my face made newspaper covers
有人喜歡有人討厭面臨輿論考驗
Ada orang suka dan ada orang benci. Aku mengahadapi ujian yang sukar ini
I got cheered and got booed I must learn to face the music now
我的故事 被文學家 寫進了書
Kisah aku dicatat oleh penulis buku
My story was documented into a book
我的臉 還被人畫成了 卡通人物
Muka aku dilukis sebagai kartoon
My face even got drawn into cartoon characters
再多褒與貶 都已經事過境遷
Banyak pujiaan dan hinaan ku alami, tapi ia bukan segalanya
I wished that all the fame and criticism would die down some day
畢業後的我 決定勇敢面對誤解
Lepas ku tamatkan pengajian, aku membuat keputusan menghadapi semua salah faham
Upon graduation I decided to return to my beloved country
我用陸路 交通跨越六個國度
Ku menggunakan jalan darat dan melepasi 6 Negara untuk balik ke Negara cinta
With only land routes I walked across 6 countries to come home
拍攝紀錄 沿途上的驚險 和領悟
Ku merakamkan sepanjang jalan yang meliputi ketakutaan dan kesedaran
I even shot a documentary on my challenging journey
一步步 很艱苦 終於回到大馬領土
Ia satu perjalanan yang sukar tetapi akhirnya ku berjaya balik ke Negara tercinta
Thought every step was tought I finally came home to Malaysia
被拍照 被訪問 還被叫到警察總部
Pihak media tangkap gambar ku, ada temu duga dan aku juga dipanggil ke balai polis
I got called to police station and faced many media interviews
雖然 你們都把我 當成公眾人物
Walaupun banyak anggap ku sebagai orang famous
Even though most think of me as public personality
但我必須穩住 要保持個人創作元素
Tapi aku mesti tabah, aku mesti tetap dengan ciptaan lagu ku
But I stayed true to myself to retain my creative art

我有我自己的夢 自己會走
Aku akan berusaha mencapai impian ku sendiri
I have my own dream I will keep going
就算再寂寞
walaupun sunyi
Even it’s a lonely path
請原諒我的衝動 我會好好過
Maafkan impuls aku, aku akan hidup dengan baik-baik
Please forgive me for being impulsive, I will be fine
(相信我還是我)
(percayalah, aku tetap aku)
Believe me I am still who I am
我不怕暴雨狂風 將我淹沒
Aku tak takut hujan lebat membanjiri ku
I’m not afraid the obstacles cos it will not drown me
毅然往前走
Aku tetap akan berusaha
I will keep moving forward
就算旅途再癲頗 我不能回頭
Wakaupun jalan ini agak sukar tapi aku tak akan putus asa
Even if it is a journey of no return I will not give up
(相信我還是我)
(percayalah, aku tetap aku)
Believe me I am still who I am

有人說 我的作品荼毒青年思想
Ada orang marah hasil lagu ku mencemarkan fikiran remaja
People criticized my songs for poisoning the younger generation
有人說 我的頭腦都在胡思亂想
Ada orang mengata otak ku memikirkan perkara yang bukan-bukan
Some said my mind is full of dirty thoughts
說我亂講 說我是社會毒瘤發癢
Mengatakan aku ni merosakan moral masyarakat
That I have bad morel in the civil society
還怪我 變成他兒子的偶像
Ada juga yang mengalahkan ku jadi idola kepada anaknya
Some just blamed me for becoming his son’s idol
面對攻擊 我早就已經習慣
Aku dah biasa menghadapi semua halangan ini
I am used to faced difficult situations
保持沉默微笑 是我最好的答案
Menjadi keheningan sambil senyum adalah jawapan yang ku bagi
Keeping silent is my best defense and response
裝模作樣 從來就 不是我的強項
Aku tak suka menjadi kikuk depan orang
Putting a fake face is never an option for me
但我出門逛逛 卻要偽偽裝裝
Sekarang aku keluar, susah sangat boleh menjadi diri sendiri lagi
I can no longer be myself when I go out
我的email 每天都有人來 訴苦
Tiap-tiap hari aku terima email dari orang lain tuk mengeluh
People write to me pleading for help everyday
但我愛莫能助因為我不是 政府
Tapi aku tak berupaya kerana aku bukan pihak kerajaan
I just cannot do much because I am not the government
你們來我facebook 鼓勵我 詆毀我
Ada yang mendorong ku di facebook dan ada juga yang menghina ku
Some come to my Facebook supporting and slandering me
我不刪除因為那是言論自由淨土
Aku tak delete komen-komen kerana ini adalah kebebasan bicara semua
I didn’t delete because it is their freedom of speech
我想要讓你聽見 讓你看見
Aku nak bagi kau dengar, aku nak bagi kau Nampak
I want you to listen and I want you to see
我想說的話 我的電影 和我的音樂
Apa yang ingin ku ucapkan, filem ku, dan muzik ku
The messages I convey through my voice, my film and my music
徘徊尺度邊緣 自由自在的暢所欲言
Adalah kebebasan bicara
Walking the fine line in freedom of speech
那是主流媒體 永遠看不到的世界
Inilah tempat yang tidak boleh diperjuangkan oleh mainstream media
Which is something the mainstream media can never understand
我站在不 同的的角度我不會停下腳步
Aku memandang dunia dari pelbagai sudut dan tidak akan berhentikan langkahku
I stand from a different point and I will not stop
這條思路 是老天送給我的禮物
Jalan pemikiran saya adalah hadiah khas dari tuhan
This path is a gift from god
你說我糊塗 你甚至想要把我說服
Kau mengatakan aku bingung, malah kau ingin menyakinkan ku dengan ayatmu
You claimed that I am lost and want to brainwash me
對不起我 還是我那就是我的態度
Minta maaf, aku tetap aku. Inilah sikap ku
Sorry, I am still who I am, and this is my attitude
在Kuala Lumpur 開始了新的生活
Aku memulakan kehidupan baru di Kuala Lumpur
I am starting new life in Kuala Lumpur
這裡人潮洶湧 馬路坑坑洞洞
Terdapat ramai orang telah terkorban di jalan raya yang berlubang-lubang
It is crowded here and the roads are full of potholes
一不小心 我可能會在這裡失控
Saya rasa ku juga mungkin akan hilang control di sini
If I’m not careful things may just get out of control
這條路 很難走 但我已經 沒有回頭
Jalan ini agak sukar untuk berjalan, tetapi aku sudah tiada pilihan lain
The path is not easy but I do not have a choice anymore

(我還是我 我還是我)
(Aku tetap aku aku masih aku)
Because I am still who I am

我有我自己的夢 自己會走
Aku akan berusaha mencapai impian ku sendiri
I have my own dream and I will go for it
就算再寂寞
walaupun sunyi
Even it is a lone path
請原諒我的衝動 我會好好過
Maafkan impuls aku, aku akan hidup dengan baik-baik
Please forgive me for being impulsive, I will be fine
(相信我還是我)
(percayalah, aku tetap aku)
Believe me I am still who I am
我不怕暴雨狂風 將我淹沒
Aku tak takut hujan lebat membanjiri ku
I’m not afraid the obstacles cos it will not drown me
毅然往前走
Aku tetap akan berusaha
I will keep moving forward
就算旅途再癲頗 我不能回頭
Wakaupun jalan ini agak sukar tapi aku tak akan putus asa
Even if it is a journey of no return I will not give up
(相信我還是我)
(percayalah, aku tetap aku)
Believe me I am still who I am

All rights of this song go to Namewee. I am only promoting this song as I feel it is good.

Namewee: I Am Who I Am

Hmm, it's been quite a while since I actually had time to blog. My finals are coming up, so I won't be blogging as often as I want to. However, a matter of interest came up recently that I wish for people to know.



A new song by Namewee. His short autobiography on what he had done so far, from his high school life to his current 'celebrity' status.

我有自己的梦，自己会走，不管再寂寞。
I have my own dream, I will fulfill it myself, no matter how lonely I am.

It is quite logical given his persecution by the government, and the fact that his outspoken comments on unfair treatments whatever race or religion has drawn the attention of the media.

He speaks too also of the fact that people regard him as a public figure, but he doesn't want that to affect his style of composing.

A good singer despite having being extremely foul-mouthed when singing diao ren (scolding people) songs. This song is definitely different from his usual style. Hopefully he will supply English subtitles for this song soon as well.

梁文音——《爱，一直存在》

以星光二班亚军出道，入围第20届金曲奖新人奖，自首张专辑后，梁文音再次推出力作《爱，一直存在》。

她一直是万众瞩目的，歌唱实力当然不在话下。我一直很欣赏她的高音和她演绎歌曲的方式。首张专辑的质素相当高，入围了台湾丶新加坡丶马来西亚丶香港丶内地等亚洲区“最佳新进歌手”丶“最佳女歌手”丶“最佳音乐录影带”等各大小音乐奖项，她的实力毋庸置疑。

这次她推出这张专辑，找来了许多大牌来为她编曲填词。其中还有我个人非常欣赏的女创作人，Tanya为她谱《第六感》的曲。她这次初尝当女主角的滋味，主演偶像剧《紫玫瑰》，所以专辑中当然也收录了片头及片尾曲——爱一直存在，哭过就好了。 本人特别推荐《哭过就好了》，是梁文音最擅长诠释的民谣风格曲风，绝对是一首疗伤好歌。另外，她表示，这首歌的歌词就像是在描写她自己的心情，也希望藉由这首歌鼓励所有曾经失意过或正在面临情感考验的人，再痛丶再伤，哭过就好了。 我十分赞成，真的，哭过就好了。谁说男人不可以哭的？

她还找来了约书亚乐团合唱《奶与蜜之地》。第一次接触约书亚是听他们的诗歌，这次他们竟然有机会合作。乍听之下，还真像福音歌曲。

个人非常喜欢这张专辑，迫不及待要po上来和大家分享了，相信会是它们陪伴我度过难关重重的会考了。

Disney's Princess and The Frog

Does anyone still remember Disney before they went into 3d stuff like Wall-E, or before Disney started becoming monotonous by producing teenage superstars?

Well, Disney has reverted back to some of its older ways of making movies, as in 2d cartoons. Old cartoons like Tarzan, The Lion King etc. are a part of many a childhood, and its good to see that Disney start producing something more classical again, instead of making another movie about teenagers.

Enters Ne-Yo...

One of the masterminds behind this movie's soundtracks, Ne-Yo has written music withe and for people ranging from Beyonce to Rihanna and now finally Disney. Now here's one of the tracks which can be found in the movie which premieres worldwide, if my sources can be trusted, on the 11th December 2009.

He's at it again

Does anyone remember the controversial song Negarakuku sung by Namewee?


Well, he's at it again, this time turning on TNB (Tenaga Nasional Berhad) which is the supplier of electricity in West Malaysia. Apparently the residents in Muar suffered a an electric cut because of a 'breakdown' on the 26th last month.

Having called the wrong number, he went straight to the Muar branch and well...see for yourself. Subtitles have been added by Namewee 'so that more people will understand what I'm saying'

音乐鬼才——卢广仲

卢广仲又有新作品了哟！10月30日，他正式发行了新专辑——《七天》。他一直被冠为音乐鬼才，还记得我第一次认识他是因为他奇特的造型，黑框眼镜，发型，穿着，太特别了。

20届金曲奖，他勇夺最佳新人奖，还凭《100种生活》获得最佳作曲人奖，一鸣惊人。Eason都毫不吝啬地夸奖卢广仲的《100种生活》才是他心目中的最佳专辑，看来他的音乐和Eason的taste有对到了。

这次，他花了一年筹备，超过三个月的录制工作才完成了新专辑。刚刚听了一下，个人很喜欢《爱情习作》，《吉米宝贝》，《最寂寞的时候》，当然少不了第一波主打——《七天》。




《七天》的歌词颇有意思的：我想做的永远都跟不上改变，改变需要勇气面对。想想其实也蛮有道理的，世上的事千变万化，一放慢脚步，很容易就被淘汰了。七天，七天？不就是一个星期吗？突发奇想！

在某站看到有人这么评论这张专辑：他的动物直觉在带领他探询新的可能性。 这张唱片好听到让人想大叫! 充满了创造所必须具备的浪漫与天真……他的专辑永远都让人充满了期待。

本人也大力推荐这张所谓浪漫与天真并俱的专辑！喜欢卢广仲的人们啊，赶快行动吧！

林宥嘉——感官 世界

大家对Yoga应该不陌生吧？我自己是对他独特的嗓音情有独钟啊！

2008銷售新人王，星光一帮冠军，林宥嘉2008年推出他个人的首张专辑《神秘嘉宾》，获大眾一致好评，其中凭单曲「病态」和「眼色」在台湾金曲奖获得评审的青睐，自己更入围年度最佳新人奖。同年举行的《林宥嘉2008迷宫巡迴演唱会》，让他成为了华语乐坛唯一在专辑发行前先举行个人售票演唱会的歌手。

2009年，他将推出全新的第二张唱片《感官世界》。音樂製作橫跨四地，頂尖音樂人，如：陳小霞，姚若龍，林夕，小宇，施人誠都参与了制作。这张专辑再次呈现了Yoga 迷幻王子的风格。首波主打歌《看见什么吃什么》，走复古的舞曲曲风，歌词热闹詼谐，还以饕餮盛宴来讽喻以貌取人的吃人思想。我自己所喜爱的其他作品包括了「说谎」，「耳朵」，「心酸」和「歇斯底里」。

MV实在太可爱了啦！好喜欢他的穿着叻！还有他自创的那支舞，真是一绝呢！大力推荐Yoga的这张专辑！

其实还蛮崇尚“看见什么吃什么”精神的，不想顾虑那么多，享受当下美食的魅力。除去了会肥胖的烦恼，仿佛食物都变美味了点。有时候好好的大吃一顿也是人生一大乐事叻！减肥嘛，明天再说吧！后天？也可以啦！

Transform Ya

I believe many people will be familiar with this photo. No this ain't another Transformers tribute or a Megan Fox spanking forum or Micheal Bay flaming post.

I believe many people are up-to-date on the Chris Brown-Rihanna fiasco earlier in this year

However, that isn't the main topic of this post, recently Chris Brown just released a new music video entitled 'I Can Transform Ya' featuring...

Swiss Beatz

the record producer of One Man Band Man as well as...

Lil Wayne, who's just had to do time for illegal gun possession.

Anyway, due to the popularity of Transformers, Chris Brown and the others stated above have created a video, containing stuff from cars to babes on bikes to hi-tech ninjas as well.

Here's the video from Chris Brown's new album Graffiti, which is his first after, well you know...
