Leslie Low - The Hills

From the very top down from Kent Ridge Park
By the treetop trail down the steep hill
While the opium haze is descending
All across the long sand of Pasir Panjang
Down along the way past Labrador Park
Up across the hill of Telok Blangah
Legend has it still, the soil of Redhill
Keeps the blood away from some evil
By the old estate of Kampong Silat
Past the railways and expressways
Lies a little road Bukit Teresa
Dropping off the side of Kampong Bahru Road
Riding up the slope next to Bukit Purmei
I found Peace in its steep incline
While the Koel sings, everlasting
Those who cannot sleep should move away
Leave us be
Leave us be
Leave us be
Why don't you?
At the foot of Purmei, Bukit Kasita
Breathes by the beauty of Radin Mas Ayu
Hidden in the roots of Mount Faber
Our heritage was stolen from us long ago
Pulau Panjang or Belakang Mati?
It is hardly Peace and Tranquility
This isle of endless change has been rearranged once again
Riding through the hills
The changes are there
I am wondering still if anyone's aware
That well, pretty soon, this will all go
'Cause Progress means changing all the time
Leave us be
Leave us be
Leave us be
Why don't you?
