Mentera Semerah Padi - 1st eAsia Song Festival
Panglima Melayu
This song will replace previous song to be nominated in the 1st eAsia Song Festival. You can watch the full video:
This song is about the heroic and gallantry who distinguish themselves through conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty of a warrior. Hang Tuah was a legendary Malay warrior and from the animation above you can see historical culture in Malaysia. The singer of this song is M Nasir and he acted as Hang Tuah in Puteri Gunung Ledang movie.
(the translation may not show the true meaning of the word in the lyric)
Become mercury
Fill up my blade shoulder back
So I can stand
Strapping and handsome
Arguably a Malay admiral
Hey! Ten pieces of betel leaf
I lay up thee together
Cloves becoming thee
Concentrated red blood
Fill in my veins
So I can take a step
Gallant and handsome
Like a great man
Wherever I step on earth
There is sky on my lift
Put hand in juicy bits
Let get to the base of arm
I call upon my heritage mantra
Red-colored rice mantra
Menjadi raksa
Mengisi belikat punggungku
Agar aku bisa berdiri
Tegap dan segak
Bagaikan laksamana Melayu
Hei! sepuluh helai daun sirih
Ku gentas bersama
Bunga cengkih jadilah dikau
Darah merah pekat
Mengisi uratku
Agar bisa aku berlangkah
Gagah dan tampan
Bagaikan sijantan yang berkokok
Di mana bumi ku pijak
Di situ langit ku junjung
Alang-alang menyeluk pekasam
Biar sampai ke pangkal lengan
Aku seru mentera pusakaku
Mentera semerah padi

Good Job! The fact that translating this song is quite difficult since it is written in a poetic format and uses proverbs shows that you are keen on doing the best.
Just to clarify certain sentences, "alang-alang menyeluk pekasam, biar sampai ke pangkal lengan" is a malay proverb meaning when you do something do it with all your heart or do it until it is complete. Literal translation would be if you are going to dip your hand into a container of pickles, might as well dip in your whole arm.
This proverb came from the pekasam which means preserved food or pickled food. Pickled food was traditionally made in a tempayan (earthen jar the height of an adults waist). The best pickled food would usually be at the bottom. Therefore if you want the best, you will need to go all the way.
