Sekar Jepun

An awesome song by the Harry Roesli Gang, led by late musician Harry Roesli, on their 1976 album Titik Api. He seems to have had a great influence on the history of Indonesian music, and I know nothing about that. I found this song on YouTube.

It's a mix of modern sound with traditional gamelan composition. I couldn't tell you much more, but I will translate the brief spoken (chanted) word introduction in Sundanese (which, for the record, I do not speak. I just used a bunch of dictionaries). Enjoy!

Sundanese (Latin)	Sundanese (Aksara Sunda Baku)	Indonesian	English
Dina haté nu daria Da mi na dipibanda ku balaréa	ᮓᮤᮔ ᮠᮒᮤ ᮔᮥ ᮓᮛᮤᮃ ᮓ ᮙᮤ ᮔ ᮓᮤᮕᮤᮙ᮪ᮘᮔ᮪ᮓ ᮊᮥ ᮘᮜᮛᮦᮃ	Dalam hati yang nurani Da mi na dimiliki oleh masyarakat	Within pure hearts Da mi na is borne by all
Ngan hanjakal nyatana jadi pacéngkadan	ᮍᮔ᮪ ᮠᮔ᮪ᮏᮊᮜ᮪ ᮍᮔ᮪ ᮠᮔ᮪ᮏᮊᮜ᮪	Namun sayang nyatanya terjadi perselisihan	However, sadly, in truth Conflict persists

Translator's note: "Da mi na" are the Sundanese names for the first three notes of the traditional pentatonic scale. Interestingly, they are in descending order of pitch. "Da mi na ti la da"
