Sophomore album offering from Imran Ajmain fusing old-school Malay melodies with modern beats and rhythms.



Mengaku Kalah by Imran Ajmain

“This is the only song that I wrote on my own in this album, and it precedes even the collection from the first album. I had recorded it before with Alyph’s raw beats, and Syarif on the back-up vocals. Naufal from Psykes had helped with the recording at my house in Singapore. It marked a dark period for me that I had gone through towards the end of 2006 when a fall-out with a friend had a ripple effect within my circle of friends. 
The original recording appeared heavily Hiphop but I wanted it to fit into the Punca Dan Tindakan mould. Early 2009, my arranger, Rafik and the guitarist, Ujang, decided to give it a dark Oriental treatment. We took cues from Sade’s ‘Haunt Me’ (Stronger Than Pride - 1988) and the soundtrack of the movie ‘Himalaya’ to achieve what turned out to be the most honest song in the album. 
At the studio, we were so moved by the end-result of the recording that it prompted us to record the acoustic versions of ‘Jika Engkau Pergi’ on the same day.
Clips of the song were used in ‘Hadi’ (Astro), ‘Tiupan Sengkakala’ (TV3) and most well received in the last episode of ‘Sewa’ (Mediacorp Suria). “

Dibuai risau dan sangsiSesuai cuaca beginiTeman Setia kanan dan kiriKini lawan menjadi-jadiLihatlah puas pemandangan luasTak lama lagi akan musnah semuaJuara dah tewas,rahsia kan terkupasSayangnya kau tak bernama
Biar ku disiniBiarku yang mengalahBiar ku berbagi,hati dah berbelahBiar ku sendiri,aku yang bersalahBiar ku menangis,ku mengaku kalah
Ditepis,dibilisKata dibibir dikikisPenerangan ku lukisTak diterima walau segarisSiapa setuju bermusuh denganmuKau cebik diri aku didepan mataSeakan tak wujud,meredam hasad dengkiNamun tak ku undur walau selangkahYang ku harapkan rahmat melimpah dari hujanYang kuterima bencana ribut taufan
Chorus

Dibuai risau dan sangsi
Sesuai cuaca begini
Teman Setia kanan dan kiri
Kini lawan menjadi-jadi
Lihatlah puas pemandangan luas
Tak lama lagi akan musnah semua
Juara dah tewas,rahsia kan terkupas
Sayangnya kau tak bernama

Biar ku disini
Biarku yang mengalah
Biar ku berbagi,hati dah berbelah
Biar ku sendiri,aku yang bersalah
Biar ku menangis,ku mengaku kalah

Ditepis,dibilis
Kata dibibir dikikis
Penerangan ku lukis
Tak diterima walau segaris
Siapa setuju bermusuh denganmu
Kau cebik diri aku didepan mata
Seakan tak wujud,meredam hasad dengki
Namun tak ku undur walau selangkah
Yang ku harapkan rahmat melimpah dari hujan
Yang kuterima bencana ribut taufan
