Overview

Travel to Malaysia with John and join with him in celebrating the culture, people and music. Rasa Sayange (literally “loving feeling”) is a folk song from the Maluku Islands and is popular in Malaysia. The basis of “Rasa Sayange” is similar to “Dondang Sayange” and other Malay folk songs, which take their form from the pantun, a traditional poetic form.  (Recommended K-5)   English lyrics provided by John Jacobson
