Goodbye England's Rose

menonton perkahwinan Will and Kate..

membawa kembali ingatan pada 9 september 1997...

baru beberapa hari tiba d london...

duduk beramai d bilik rehat d college..

terpaku d hadapan telly...

college tidak membenarkan kami ke london....

kerana kebanjiran luar biasa manusia yg menyerbu london pada hari itu

untuk melihat dgn sendiri

majlis pengkebumian Diana, princess of wales...

menjejak kaki ke london pada 28 ogos..

dan kemalangan d paris berlaku pada 30 ogos

berjalan kaki ke Buckingham Palace pada pagi itu

melihat sendiri org ramai menangis sambil meletak bunga d pagar

kesian tgk mereka....

so, majlis semalam...merupakan ulangan majlis pengkebumian...

perjalanan masuk Kate ke Westminster Abbey seperti

mengulangi perjalanan masuk keranda Diana pada

d tempat yg sama ketika september 1997..

melihat william senyum lebar keluar dari Abbey selepas majlis

berlainan benar dgn imej pada 1997

beliau hanya menundukkan muka

melihat keranda ibunya d masukkan ke kereta jenazah

untuk perjalanan pulang ke Althrop

estet keluarga spencer...

sekali sekala..

geram juga melihat Camilia Pawker

tersenyum riang d Abbey..

mengambil tempat Diana sebagai ibu

ramai meramalkan Kate akan menggantikan Diana

tapi Diana tetap Diana

special and timeless

Goodbye England's rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart
You called out to our country
And you whispered to those in pain
Now you belong to heaven
And the stars spell out your name

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall you
Along England's greenest hills
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend never will

Loveliness we've lost
These empty days without your smile
This torch we'll always carry
For our nation's golden child
And even though we try
The truth brings us to tears
All our words cannot express
The joy you brought us through the years

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall you
Along England's greenest hills
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend never will

Goodbye England's rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart
Goodbye England's rose
From a country lost without your soul
Who'll miss the wings of your compassion
More than you'll ever know

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And you footsteps will always fall you
Along England's greenest hills
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend never will

teringatkan lagu ini

bila melihat sir elton john melangkah masuk sebagai tetamu semalam

ingat lagi

meremang bulu roma bila beliau menyanyikan lagu ini

bait2 lagu ini bergema d dalam Abbey yg sudah berusia

d hujung lagu...elton john juga gugup menahan sebak...

tapi

tepukan dari luar Abbey sangat kuat dan gemuruh

hingga kedengaran jelas d dalam...

semalam menonton..

ada juga terasa sedih nya......
