It was a famous song taught by Japanese soldiers when they occupied Malaya in 1940s. It was taught to school students. So, some people in Malaysia from the older generation could speak a bit of basic Japanese. Therefore, this song shows evidence of Japanese influence in Malaysian culture.
Miyo toukai no sora akete
Kyoku jitsu takaku kagayakeba
Tenchi no seiki hatsuratsu to
Kibou wa odoru oyashima
Kami tiga sahabat
nasib timbul tenggelam
Susah hanya sekejap
senang pun tak lama ....
No wonder that P.Ramlee, AR tompel, ibrahim din sing it with the amazing pronunciation.
