Scene 1 & Scene 2 on this page

The story is about life in 2 neighbouring villages: A farming village, “Sinar Suria” & a fishing village, “Bayu Kencana”. The villagers live harmoniously among themselves. The relationship between the two villages is also harmonious. They organise and participate in many cultural activities in their spare time.

Taridra “Serumpun” mengisahkan tentang kehidupan dua buah desa yang berdekatan: Desa petani, “Sinar Suria” dan desa nelayan, “Bayu Kencana”. Kehidupan antara kedua buah desa ini amatlah damai. Mereka saling bantu membantu di antara satu sama lain. Keharmonian kehidupan menyerlah diantara penduduk-penduduk di kedua-dua desa tersebut. Banyak kegiatan seni budaya yang mereka amalkan ketika mempunyai keluangan waktu.

Scene 1 / Babak 1: The Fishermen Return / Nelayan Pulang


The fishermen of Bayu Kencana village return from their fishing trip. The fishermen arrive carrying their catch, helped by the villagers. Children run happily to receive their fathers and the wives lovingly receive their husbands. Oh.....oh....oh.....Bayu Kencana pinggir lautan Desa Nelayan........ Bayu Kencana di pinggir lautan, Budi Bahasa menjadi sanjungan. Rezeki di laut sudah suratan, Itulah pusaka zaman berzaman......... Nelayan baru pulang. Anak Desa Bayu Kencana kegembiraan menyambut kepulangan nelayan yang baru pulang. Kanak- kanak berlari menyambut ayah mereka dan sang isteri mesra bertemu suami masing-masing.

The fishermen are welcomed with a dance. Sebuah tarian dipersembahkan untuk menyambut nelayan yang baru pulang. Lautan Buas! Tidak akan puas Lautan Luas! Biarpun tertewas Lautan Dalam! Pasrah jika karam Kaulah Sahabat! Kaulah Kawan!! Kaulah Teman!!! Biar buasmu melanda bagai Geruda, Tetap kuharungi penoh tabah, Di situlah ku bermohon nafkah, Untuk keluarga sanak saudara tercinta......... ----------------------------------------------------End of Scene 1--------------------------------------------------- Scene 2 / Babak 2: The Harvest / Musim Menuai

The harvesting season arrives. The farmers and their families work the fields. Oh....oh......oh Sinar Suria mencari rezeki Di bumi yang dirahmati....... Sinar Suria nama diberi, Desanya permai saling menghormati, Hidup bertani, Di bumi terhampar mencari rezeki...... Musim menuai sudah tiba!! Para petani menuai cucuk tanam mereka di ladang.			Setiap benih yang ditanam Akan dibelai harapan mendalam Setiap pucuk berputik mewangi Kemuncak doa harum setanggi

Biar badan peluh membasahi Biar terbenam lumpur dikaki Pemberian Mu Ya Allah ku sanjungi Kurnia Mu Ya Allah selalu ku cari	Biar genjur rambut dek mentari Biar terguris jari jemari Tanah ini tetap digemburi Bisikan madah seorang petani......	The Harvest Dance Tarian Menuai
