This song should bring back memories to my daughters.
For 12 years, between 1982 and 1994, I was working for my family in KL and my wife for hers in Batu Gajah.
As was common, or nature would have it, children (started with one, then two and then three) followed mummy and I had to do most of the travelling, almost every weekend: Saturday afternoon leaving KL (and my own mum) and Monday morning leaving BG (leaving family). When my daughters were still very young, my wife used to start work very early, leaving the house at 6.30 am, so the little girls used to wake up missing their daddy and mummy. I used to sing part of the song which I changed the lyrics to:
Where's your Mama gone? (Mang chong, as in Amang factory in Hakka)
Where's your Papa gone? (Kuala Lumpur)
Far, far away ...
