Bowling for Gen

Wahai kekandaku Gen,
Engkaulah yang terpenting dihidup dan dihatiku,

Bagaikan mangkuk yang ku letakkan nasi,
Di laukkan ikan panggang berasam pedas,
Secelit ku suap, sambal tumis mu,
Kaulah terindah,
kaulah mangkukku.

*For Genevieve Tan :)

What is this language? Some of the words are recognizable. I am Filipino. Words like nasi = rice; mangkuk = bowl?

It's Malay. Tagalog and Bahasa Malaysia/Indonesia are very similar to each other.

Selamat :)
