Abstract

As a product of the creative process, song lines or lyrics are also forms of poetry containing aesthetical and ethical values. Song lyrics and poetry are like two sides of the coin, intertwined. Classical Minang song lyrics as a cultural product of traditional Minang people are objects that contain moral messages and life values. The cultural values contained in the song texts come from the experiences and life realities of the people. This research aims to reveal the meaning and cultural values contained in classical Minang songs. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a literary sociology approach/theory. The research results show that cultural values in the Minang song texts align with the life attitudes of the Minang people. The cultural values of the Sumbang duo Baleh in the song “Si Nona” composed by Syamsul Arifin and the song “Lamang Tapai” composed by Nuskan Syarif are the traditional songs providing advice for Minang young women in maintaining their positive self-esteem. The classical Minang songs can be used as a means to preserve cultural values in developing the morals of future generations. By understanding the texts of Minang regional songs, they will appreciate and maintain various elements of their ancestral culture, as a reflection of the identity of the Minang people and elements of national culture.

Abstract

Lullabies are a phenomenon that is both local and universal across the globe. Despite their deep local roots, lullabies exist in nearly all cultures worldwide. The Minangkabau society in West Sumatra, Indonesia, have a traditional lullaby practice known as manjujai. However, this tradition is gradually eroding and beginning to fade due to the influence of technology and modernization. Beyond its primary role as a lullaby to lull children to sleep, manjujai also functions as a medium for conveying messages, especially cultural and religious values, intended to be embedded in children’s minds. This study aims to describe, reveal, and analyze the meanings and functions of manjujai as a cultural expression of the Minangkabau community, while connecting its universal values to lullabies in other cultures worldwide. This study employs a qualitative descriptive methodology, with data collected through an analysis of manjujai texts. The findings reveal that manjujai texts serve three social functions: (1) expressing feelings, thoughts, and life attitudes; (2) teaching cultural values through advice, messages, and hopes; (3) presenting linguistic beauty, comfort, tranquility, and well-being for the listening child, The shared essence of lullabies worldwide lies in their expressions of love, gentleness, and care. Many lullabies possess a peaceful, hyponic quality. Fatigue, the darkening night, difficulties in falling asleep, and the act of sleeping itself are universal elements that inspire the melodic and lyrical threads of lullabies worldwide.
