Suliram (Indonesian Lullaby) - Pete Seeger - Lyrics - English subtitles

Описание: English :
This song, while known abroad as "Suliram", is better known in Indonesia as "Soleram" and in Malaysia as "Suriram".

The word Suliram/Soleram/Suriram itself seem to have no special meaning,
with the most plausible explanation being that it's a (somewhat archaic sounding) Malay name.

The middle line about "the sun" and the "dead calf" has no hidden meaning,
as it's part of a "pantoum" or "pantun", which is a Malay form of poetry,
where the first two lines are gibberish, used only for the rhymes in its final syllables.
Meaning is found in the latter two lines (about "seeking" and "finding"),
with the final syllable of the odd and even line rhyming with each other, respectively.

There exist many different versions of Suliram/Soleram/Suriram,
each with a different lyric, with the only similarity being the first two lines of the refrain,
and its nature as a lullaby/children's song.

Indo :
Lagu ini dikenal diluar negeri dengan nama Suliram, dan di Malaysia sebagai Suriram, sementara di Indonesia dikenal sebagai Soleram,

Suliram sendiri tidak memiliki arti apapun, kemungkinan ini adalah nama orang jaman dahulu.....

Pas bagian "Anak Kerbau" dan "Matahari" adalah pantun, jadi ngak ada arti apapun.
