▶️ Watch on 3Speak

Hello brothers and sisters, we are Indonesia Bersatu, a punk rock band from Medan city Indonesia, we are back again at the 121th weekly #openmic event. This week's theme is "Amor de Familia" In English, this means: "Love of Family" which was chosen by our great friend, @osmely. This is a very interesting theme.

Talking about family, we all must have a family that we love. For most people, family is the best place to take refuge and calm down from the various problems that come in our lives. We will feel safe and comfortable when we share stories with our family, such as complaints and also sharing feelings. Although not everyone feels it, some people will realize that family is always there for us in times of joy and sorrow.

In addition, family is also a source of love and affection for everyone. True love and affection are unconditional, your family will love and care for you even though you are an asshole. The proof of that love and affection is their support. The family will give us the strength to rise when we experience adversity. The family will still embrace you when others leave you. So take care of your family.

A song that we will be playing today is a cover of the song called “Keluarga Cemara” in English is “Cypress Family”. This song was composed by Harry Tjahjono, who became the soundtrack to the TV series Keluarga Cemara from 1996 to 2005. Then in 2018, the film was brought back to the big screen and the soundtrack of this song was sung by Bunga Citra Lestari. She is a famous female singer in Indonesia.

Here are the original song lyrics;

“Harta yang paling berharga adalah keluarga
Istana yang paling indah adalah keluarga
Puisi yang paling bermakna adalah keluarga
Mutiara tiada tara adalah keluarga

Selamat pagi Emak
Selamat pagi Abah
Mentari hari ini berseri indah

Terima kasih Emak
Terima kasih Abah
Untuktampil perkasa bagi kami
putra putri yang siap berbakti"

Lyrics in English translation;

“The most precious treasure is family
The most beautiful palace is family
The most meaningful poetry is family
The priceless pearl is family

good morning mother
Good morning Father
Today's sun is shining beautifully

Thank you, Mother
Thank you, Father
To appear mighty for us
sons and daughters who are ready to serve"

The place where we recorded this video is behind my friend's house who was selling coffee at that time. We recorded it using a Cannon brand mirrorless camera. For the sound produced, I edited using Adobe Audition CC to reduce noise in the sound recording, and the final process of editing the video was using Adobe Premiere Pro CC software.

That's all we can say, below we also provide a youtube video link of their original song. Hope you like it and thank you. Peace to all of us.
