I link the #HiveStockImages above with the lyrics of a good song interpreting the philosophy of water on caladium leaves, telling stories about empty love. Song lyrics in Malay by A. Chalik entitled 'Di Suatu Masa' (Once Upon a Time) singed by the original singer Hasnah Thahar in 1956, then popularized by the D'lloyd group with the same lyrics as Cinta Hampa 'Cinta Hampa' (Empty Love), sung by Syamsuar Hasyim (Sam D'Lloyd) vocalist of the music group D'Lloyd.
Syamsuar Hasyim, was born in Aceh to his parents who are of Minangkabau blood. He co-founded the band D'Lloyd in early 1969. wikipedia
Here I am sharing the YouTube link of the original version of the music. However, after I observed that the song's assets have not yet been claimed for Content ID.
The following lyrics have been translated into English by lyricstranslate.com
Like still water on Taro leaves
Even though it is still
It doesn't leave a mark
When if it's touched
Its branches sway
The water will spill
It runs out, staying no longer
Likewise, your love for me
Is love which fills only half a heart
You then take it back
Maybe later someday
You will feel it too
For how painful it is to be brokenhearted
Because of love
If you would take a look at that stylish young man
Your love will soon sway to him
But if so happens that you'd look for another one
You'll only make him as a victim
Of an empty, false love
Maybe later someday
You shall feel it too
How painful it is to be brokenhearted because of love
