Menjelang Hari Raya remix together with the team from The Cube

I am on Raya Mood now! Everywhere I go I hear raya songs, in the shopping malls, restaurants, shop, cars, office even in my house (from the tv and radio). Well, there are always a few classic or signature songs for every festive season that perks up our mood to sing along, celebrate and be jolly.

One of the Raya songs that I love and can sing along is Menjelang Hari Raya by Datuk DJ Dave. The lyric is simple, easy to remember and meaningful. I have been listening to this song on every raya since my childhood time.

Down memory lane… Menjelang Hari Raya song was originally recorded in 1979 and is a perennial favourite for Raya celebrations since its first performance by Datuk Irwan Shah Abdullah, who is popularly known as D.J. Dave. 

Let’s celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri with love, kindness and forgiveness by 

sharing the spirit of the season with friends, families and loved ones. 

This year, Celcom Axiata Berhad has created a new remix on the classic hit. The new Menjelang Hari Raya (CUBE Mix) single is conceived and produced by The Cube and will be available exclusively on The Cube as part of its Musicube and Call Me Tones offerings. This is an exclusive collaboration between Celcom and Datuk D.J. Dave.

Menjelang hari raya

Berakhirnya puasa

Bergema takbir senja

Menyambut syawal tiba

Suasana riang ria

Terlihat sini sana

Menyeri malam raya

Terhias indah rupa

Oh… cantik berseri-seri

Tua dan muda berpakaian serba baru

Oh… sungguh meriahnya

Miskin kaya pun turut bergembira

Selamat hari raya

Aidil fitri mulia

Semoga berbahagia

Hidup aman sentosa
