Here is a more about him and the lyrics as well... of course as per the internet told... ^_^
What can we say about a legend other than his music will live on for generations. Broery was such an inspiration to Indonesian and Malaysian musicians in the 1970s that even one of its biggest stars had to pay homage. Broery really sing with all his heart and soul. Born and grew up in the Maluku islands. He picked up numerous awards during a career that spanned several decades and inspired countless singers from eastern Indonesia. Unfortunately, he never returned to form after suffering a stroke in 1998. He passed away two years later.
This song (Hapuslah Air Mata mu) in fact sang by Sharifah Aini as well - ladies version
Hapuslah Airmatamu
Dengarlah bisikan hati
Untuk mu yang tersayang
Walaupun apa terjadi
Tiada perpisahan
Itu lah janji-janji nya
Yang tak mungkin berubah
Tiada perpisahan
Yang akan terjadi
Corus #
Tiada rintangan baginya
Yang dapat memutuskan
Begitu setia janjinya
Pasangan yang bercinta
Walaupun apa yang terjadi
Lan coba di atasai
Begitulah ....
Jangan lah bersedih
Hapus lah air mata mu
Usahlah kau bersedih
Tiada penyesalan
Yang insaf bagi mu.
Broery Marantika June 25, 1948 - April 7, 2000
