About This Song

SIJIL SAMPAH | Track 10 of 13. Names are called one by one, black gowns cross the stage, and the lecturer claps from the side. Ten years of teaching, ten convocations, and every year he checks who is still in real estate. Of every ten graduates, almost nine have gone to banks, shops, other offices or their own paths. When the meeting asks for numbers, he writes the familiar sentence: wide career options, already employed. The report looks tidy and next year the number is the same. A quiet, honest song about graduate employability and the faces behind the statistic.

Lyrics

Nama dipanggil satu-satu
Jubah hitam di pentas
Saya tepuk dari tepi
Wajah-wajah ini saya kenal
Sepuluh tahun saya mengajar
Sepuluh kali konvokesyen
Setiap tahun kelas tamat
Setiap tahun saya catat nama
Tahun depan saya semak lagi
Siapa masih dalam hartanah
Sepuluh graduan
Hampir sembilan pergi
Mesyuarat bertanya angka
Saya bentang senarai
Borang minta satu jawapan
Saya pilih ayat yang biasa
Kerja apa selepas grad?
Pilihan luas, kata saya
Sepuluh naik ke pentas
Hampir sembilan pindah bidang
Kerja apa selepas grad?
Saya tulis sudah bekerja
Ayat itu kemas di laporan
Tahun depan angka sama
Ada yang masuk bank
Ada yang jaga kedai
Ada di pejabat orang
Ada bina jalan sendiri
Saya nampak nama mereka
Muncul di tempat lain
Kerja mereka berubah
Hartanah tinggal kenangan
Saya masih kenal wajah
Masih ingat nama
Bila ditanya ke mana
Saya jawab pilihan luas
Kerja apa selepas grad?
Pilihan luas, kata saya
Sepuluh naik ke pentas
Hampir sembilan pindah bidang
Kerja apa selepas grad?
Saya tulis sudah bekerja
Ayat itu kemas di laporan
Tahun depan angka sama
Wajah mereka saya ingat
Nama masih saya simpan
Dalam laporan tahunan
Mereka cuma satu angka
Kerja apa selepas grad?
Saya tahu dari senarai
Sepuluh naik ke pentas
Hampir sembilan pilih bidang lain
Saya tulis pilihan luas
Di bawah tajuk kebolehpasaran
Nama baharu tahun depan
Angka lama datang lagi
Pentas sudah kosong
Senarai masih di tangan
Nama baharu tahun depan
Hampir sembilan pergi
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Names called one by one
Black gowns on the stage
I clap from the side
These faces I know
Ten years I've been teaching
Ten convocations
Every year the class ends
Every year I note the names
Next year I check again
Who is still in property
Ten graduates
Almost nine have gone
The meeting asks for numbers
I present the list
The form asks for one answer
I choose the usual sentence
What job after graduating?
Wide options, I say
Ten go up on stage
Almost nine switch fields
What job after graduating?
I write: already employed
The sentence looks neat in the report
Next year the same number
Some go into banks
Some look after shops
Some in other people's offices
Some build their own way
I see their names
Appear in other places
Their work has changed
Property is just a memory
I still know their faces
Still remember their names
When asked where they went
I answer: wide options
(Chorus)
Their faces I remember
Their names I still keep
In the annual report
They're just a number
What job after graduating?
I know from the list
Ten go up on stage
Almost nine choose other fields
I write wide options
Under the heading employability
New names next year
The old number comes again
The stage is empty now
The list still in my hand
New names next year
Almost nine will go
