Search – Isabella (1989)
[ad]
What a huge it it was back then! It swept the nation, and the tremors were felt in the neighbouring countries too, from Indonesia to the Philippines. Yes, even the Filipinos knew this song, I remember seeing our Filipino maid, in the early 90s, actually singing word for word when I blasted it on the radio.
You see, I have this thing that I do on weekends, or during evenings, when I was much younger. I would be my own DJ and entertain myself. My family were non-voluntary listeners. LOL.
This is not my favorite Search song, that one remains as “Rozana”. Still, this song reminds me of that movie he did with Ramona Rahman.
Search – Isabella
Isabella adalah kisah cinta dua dunia
Mengapa kita berjumpa namun akhirnya terpisah
Siang jadi hilang ditelan kegelapan malam
Alam yang terpisah melenyapkan sebuah kisah
Terbayang lambaianmu salju terbakar kehangatan
Dunia di penuhi warna berseri bunga cinta
Kita yang terlena hingga musim berubah
Mentari menyepi bernyalalah api cinta
Dia Isabella lambang cinta yang lara
Terpisah kerana adat yang berbeza
Cinta gugur bersama daun daun kekeringan
Haluan hidupku terpisah dengan Isabella
Tapi aku terpaksa demi cintaku Isabella
Moga dibukakan pintu hatimu untukku
Akan terbentang jalan andainya kau setia
Oh! Isabella
i remember that time when most of mini bus in Kudat put every song title from Fenomena album at the front and back of the bus. The most memorable album and every rocker that time bought a pair of diadora shoes
haha..I know this song too. This is like ‘national song’ in the music industry here. I learned this song first from my brother who during that time trying to learn the guitar chords, too bad he can’t make it.
‘Rozana’ Not bad too. Nostalgia. and Jiwang too.

good morning
Alamak! It’s been a while since I even heard the name of this band oh! Hahahaha
Yeah..the greatest rock band ever in Malaysia!!!!!! the greatest rock vocalist as well..hehe..and the only rocker yang become millionaire..hahaha…..
I love Search and I have almost all their famous songs in karaoke..hehehe…
Its the only band in Malaysia managed to get through to other countries (Indon + Philip)…they were phenomenon…
wel’s last blog post..Soul behind the faces…
Aj – LOL to the “rockers” wearing Diadora!
sheela – I can play this song on the guitar, but I’d rather sing Rozana.
Rozella – Cool eh?
wel – Correcto mundo, Malaysia’s greatest rock band!
OMG punya classic this song. Zaman dulu dulu masa ada tu wayang lagi tu kan omg!
Isabella was indeed a phenomenon back then, and Search is one of the greatest Malaysian hard rock bands ever. Isabella and Rozana are good songs, but still cannot reach the heights Search/M Nasir has reached with numbers like Langit dan Bumi [my all-time favourite Search song], Fantasia Bulan Madu [what a scorcher of an ending!], Mentari Merah di Ufuk Timur, Pelesit Kota, Pawana, Musafir, Meniti Titian Usang, Sebatang Tongkat Untuk Berdiri and many more.
yep i remember watching this when i was young and how crazy my MUM was over the song Isabella! But it’s still one of my favourite local songs to date

sriyany – Likewise. A classic tune that gripped all races.
Lisalicious – Yes, they are.
kaDusMama – I love Rozana, easily my favorite Malay song, because of its simplicity. Eh, both of these songs are jiwang too!
my fav song when I was in primary school. Now, I love the Rozzana song more..
