Pongky Manullang – Self Titled (2008)

Pongky Manullang

Many people don’t know who is Pongky Manullang. You can say that Pongky Manullang is a newcomer in music industries in Indonesia. In 2008, Pongky released his first album “Pongky Manullang – Self Titled”. There are ten tracks in this album. There are:

01. Helen

02. Cinta

03. One Lovely Evening

04. Kau yang Ku Sayang

05. Jauh

06. Ketika

07. Kembali

08. Tanpamu

09. Purple Angel

10. Sersan Nurcholish

Mix with English and Indonesian song, this album also can give you new feeling about accoustic music. Pongky wrotes in his blog, why he chose to play accoustic in his music, and some history about the last song, that is “Sersan Nurcholish”. Almost all of the song is played using guitar and “Helen” with piano, but I supposed he likes playing guitar more than piano

In my opinion, I like almost of the song, although “Kau yang Ku Sayang” is not actually a new song, but with his new music arrange, I kinda like it. Generally, I think his playing style feels like Iwan Fals (in some song). But overall, I like this album. Buy it if you like guitar and accoustic music

My Purple Angel – Pongky Manullang

I didn’t know what it’s like to be,
loved by a woman honestly..
Until you came into my life for real,
and you made me feel it’s too good to be true,
then I fought for you, yes I do..

Reff:
You’re my purple angel, with your pretty little wing,
shining like a diamond ring. (yeah)
You’re my purple angel, and there’s nothing in this world
that can take my heart away from you
My purple angel, yeah
My purple angel… is you

It’s getting better each and every day,
as long as you’re around, love is just a game to play
I believe it’s true, yes I do..

One Lovely Evening – Pongky Manullang

The silent stars in timeless skies,
were shining through the cloud in the skies
As we were sitting on a wooden chair,
having our romance fill the air..

Reff:
In one lovely evening,
when the night was made for loving,
when the night was made for loving,
when the night was made for,
the night was made for… the night was made for loving you, loving me

The sun was slowly fading away,
As the moon soften the day,
While we were listening to the same old love song,
Within our heart we sang along..

Kau yang Ku Sayang – Lirik

Versi Pongky Manullang

Cinta yang tulus di dalam hatiku
Tlah bersemi, karenamu
Hati yang gundah kini tiada lagi *
Tlah bersinar, karenamu

Reff:
Semua yang ada padamu ooh..
Membuat diriku, tiada berdaya
Hanyalah bagimu, hanyalah untukmu
Seluruh hidup dan cintaku

Biarkan hujan membasahi bumi
Atau bulan yang tiada berseri
Tapi jangan kau biarkan cintaku *
Yang tulus suci hanya padamu *

(kembali ke reff)

Versi Rafika Duri:
*
Hati yang suram kini tiada lagi

Namun jangan kau biarkan cintaku

Yang tulus suci hanya untukmu
