About This Song

SIJIL SAMPAH | Track 12 of 13. The gown is put away and the certificate goes home in a frame. On Monday the graduate joins an agency and learning starts all over again. Four years of fees were paid by the family; now there is no basic salary, only fuel, cheap lunches, training sessions and rent at the end of the month. Every class has a cost, every day has a price, and the first commission is still not certain. One by one the training chairs empty out. A tender song about the fees that never appear on any receipt.

Lyrics

Jubah sudah disimpan
Sijil dibawa pulang
Isnin masuk agensi
Belajar bermula semula
Empat tahun keluarga membayar
Yuran masuk tiap semester
Hari graduasi semua tersenyum
Gambar cantik masuk bingkai
Seminggu kemudian mereka datang
Buku agensi di tangan
Kelas latihan perlu dibayar
Masa sendiri jadi yuran
Tiada gaji asas
Minyak, makan, tambang
Komisen belum masuk
Hari tetap berjalan
Yuran selepas grad
Tiada pada resit
Bayar untuk belajar lagi
Dengan duit yang tinggal sedikit
Tiada gaji tetap
Belanja tetap tiba
Mereka belajar sambil bertahan
Saya nampak dari dekat
Pagi isi minyak
Tengah hari makan murah
Petang ikut sesi latihan
Malam semak baki akaun
Ada sewa di hujung bulan
Telefon rumah berdering
Ibu, duit masih cukup
Jawapan itu makin pendek
Setiap kelas ada kos
Setiap hari ada harga
Kes pertama belum pasti
Simpanan pula susut
Yuran selepas grad
Tiada pada resit
Bayar untuk belajar lagi
Dengan duit yang tinggal sedikit
Tiada gaji tetap
Belanja tetap tiba
Mereka belajar sambil bertahan
Saya nampak dari dekat
Saya pernah serah sijil
Sangka tugas saya selesai
Kini mereka belajar lagi
Dengan wang yang mereka simpan
Kerusi latihan makin kosong
Buku tertinggal di meja
Komisen pertama belum masuk
Seorang lagi tak datang
Yuran selepas grad
Tiada pada resit
Bayar untuk belajar lagi
Dengan duit yang tinggal sedikit
Empat tahun sudah dibayar
Kini poket sendiri pula
Saya lihat mereka berusaha
Wang habis sebelum hasil tiba
Sijil dalam bingkai
Resit di atas meja
Komisen belum tiba
Bil sudah sampai
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
The gown is put away
The certificate taken home
Monday they join an agency
Learning starts all over again
Four years the family paid
Fees in every semester
On graduation day everyone smiled
A pretty photo in a frame
A week later they come
Agency handbook in hand
Training classes must be paid for
Their own time becomes the fee
No basic salary
Fuel, food, fares
Commission not in yet
The days keep moving
Fees after graduating
Not on any receipt
Paying to learn again
With the little money left
No fixed salary
Fixed expenses still arrive
They learn while holding on
I see it up close
Morning, fill the tank
Noon, a cheap meal
Afternoon, a training session
Night, check the account balance
Rent due at the end of the month
The home phone rings
Mum, I still have enough
That answer grows shorter
Every class has a cost
Every day has a price
The first case isn't certain
Savings keep shrinking
(Chorus)
I once handed out certificates
Thought my job was done
Now they're learning again
With the money they saved
Training chairs grow empty
Books left on the desks
The first commission hasn't come
Another one didn't show up
Fees after graduating
Not on any receipt
Paying to learn again
With the little money left
Four years already paid
Now it's their own pocket
I watch them try hard
Money runs out before results come
Certificate in a frame
Receipts on the table
Commission hasn't arrived
The bills already have
