INTRODUCTION
Phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics are four
important characteristics of language. The study of language sounds is known as
phonology. The study of grammar is known as syntax. The study of the meaning or
meaning of words or phrases is known as semantics. Metaphors can be found in
songs as well as in common speech and literary works. Songs are works of art, and
works of art are works of life (Sumolang, 2015).
Alor Regency is one of the regencies in East Nusa
Tenggara. Alor Regency is famous for its many islands
in East Nusa Tenggara. Alor is a Regency in the form of
a bay and has a lot of cultural diversity both in terms of Customs, Language,
and Religion, this makes it very charismatic in each respective region (Hidayah, 2020). This culture becomes a tree that is nurtured from
generation to generation as a symbol of the possibility for achieving peace,
tolerance, and brotherhood's power, as well as many other great outcomes (Baan et al., 2022). Cultural diversity in the Alor
Regency area offers a variety of potentials and benefits, one of which is the
culture in Dulolong Village, Northwest Alor District, which contains a variety of cultural stories
(Saad, n.d.).
Dulolong is a village that is sandwiched between two distinct
environments: the coastal and the highland (Saad, n.d.).
Environmental conditions like this have existed for a long time, and they are
inextricably linked to the village's culture (Khanlou et al., 2018).
Maintaining culture for the Dulolong
community is critical because doing so can result in the creation of arts with
social value, such as the high value of mutual collaboration in resolving
difficulties that the Dulolong community faces via
the Customs route.
This type of culture has become known to many
generations of Dulolong biological children who have
their own charisma during certain seasons, such as the Ojo
Kumba Futung Letang Dulionong incident, and
this causes things like poetry in the form of songs to be sung by certain
people as evidence of good interaction in the emergence of Ojo
Kumba Futung Letang Dulionong.
This incident has a link to the educational
environment, as this conversation is linked to learning Cultural Arts, which
explains numerous cultural essays in general, as well as being inextricably
linked to learning Indonesian, which is contained in the subject of writing
poetry (Ramadhan et al., 2019). In fact, discussions regarding school relationships
take place about learning activities, as well as invitations for students to
demonstrate cultural creative arts talents and produce poetry or poetry while
reading correctly through references or guides arranged. The
goal of this
research is to explain and
analyze the metaphor in the lyric of the
song Ojo Kumba Futung letang dulionong, which was performed
in Dulolong Village, Northwest Alor District, Alor
Regency.
Some studies related to metaphor analysis in song lyrics
are Ndraha (2018),
who analyzed metaphor in westlife�s song lyrics. In
addition, Mubarok (2017)
analyzed metaphor in Sami Yusuf and Maher Zain�s song, which is islamic song lyrics. Different from Ndraha
and Mubarok, Saragih (2021),
analyzed song lyrics of Batak Toba�s mother theme song. Even though Saragih also analyzed Indonesian folk song, this study focuses
on different aspect from Saragih�s research because beside
this study analyzed the metaphore of the song the
researcher also tries to discover what the song means to the local population,
which is Dulolong and Alur Kecil Villagers.
RESEARCH METHOD��
Researchers employed qualitative research
methodologies in this study. A qualitative method is one that focuses on
components of in-depth understanding of an issue rather than looking at the
problem in order to conduct generalization study (Rashid, et al., 2019; Sumolang,
2015). Qualitative approaches are used to try to figure out
what a phenomenon means (Mohajan, 2018). This study will be place at the Pelangserang
Traditional House in Dulolong Village, Northwest Alor Subdistrict. The data collected trhough
interview while the data analyzed through content
analysis.
RESULT AND
DISCUSSION
1. Analysis of research results
Each
community group has its own distinct qualities, one of which is that in order
to complete and facilitate the Lego ceremony, it must have a song lyric that
has the potential to become its own distinct characteristic. Traditional rites,
as well as marriages and other celebrations,
are included in the poem (Kasselstrand, 2018).
There are seven tribes
in Dulolong Village, each with their own set of responsibilities
and functions to fulfill (Sulistyono, 2022). These seven tribes have a very close relationship. These seven
tribes, on the other hand, have poetry that might evoke feelings of closeness or
high brotherhood value (Reynolds, 2018).
Regarding the poetry written by the ancestor, called Mr. Nae Saku, namely:
Nae Nong Jawa Tava Tanah
Fatang Buahula
Fatabng buah hula Fai Jawa
Sering Wai Jawa
The
poem describes an agreement between Mr. Nae Saku and Jawa Mojo to build a well
in Dulolong village that would be valuable for children and grandchildren, and
the well is still in Dulolong village, specifically on Buahula beach in
Lekaduli. Poetry's existence
has its own meaning in Dulolong Village, which includes fraternity, agreement, and even agreement (Sunarti et al., 2019). Even this verse is guarded by traditional leaders in Dulolong
Village while also being told to generations or posterity so that it becomes a
provision for the future in maintaining a sense of brotherhood or kinship even
in general, namely protecting the beloved village, Dulolong Village, which has
a high level of brotherhood both in ethnicity, descent, and even religious
differences has become a very strong brotherhood until now.
2. Types
of Metaphors
Lakoff
& Johnson (2008) divide
metaphors into three types, namely:
structural metaphors, orientational metaphors, and autological metaphors.
2.1. Structural Metaphor
A structural metaphor, according to Lakoff
& Johnson (2008, p. 14), is a notion that
is metaphorically structured in another concept. Structural metaphors are based on the methodical
linking of ordinary experiences. Arguing, for example, is a type of combat. In
discussion, we do a lot of things to make the concept of argument revolve
around the concept of battle. In essence, a disagreement and a fight are two
different things. Individuals, on the other hand, use words to attack one
another when they argue. They do not wish to lose in a dispute. So that's the
justification for the so-called "war".
2.2. Oriental Metaphor
Oriental
metaphor, according to Lakoff
& Johnson (2008, p. 15), is a form of
metaphorical notion that is not structured yet organizes a system of connected
concepts. As a physical form, this metaphor is also oriented toward up-down,
in-out, in-off, deep-shallow, front-back, and other physical experiences.
Orientation metaphors, such as "Happy is up, sad is down," convey
unique orientation concepts.
2.3. Metafora otonologis
Autonological metaphors emerge, according to Lakoff &
Johnson (2008), when we regard occurrences,
events, emotions, and ideas
as beings and substances. Autological metaphors help us to think about and
discuss about things, events, and processes, although they are not as clear or
abstract as physical metaphors. Autological metaphors are metaphors that
describe entities based on other metaphors..
The meaning of the
ojo kumba futung poem letang dulionong describes the symbol of the brotherly
bond that symbolizes the bond of brotherhood, while the lyric of the song ojo
kumba futung is related to the type of orientational metaphor where the
description of its meaning is about orientational metaphor, which tells about
the relationship between one another with various differences in both physical
and cultural forms, while the meaning of the ojo kumba futung poem letang
dulionong describes the symbol Separated by a long underground passage, it
should not be separated.
3. The
meaning of the metaphor in the lyric of the song Ojo Kumba Futung Letang
Dulionong
Metaphor is
the use of
words or groupings of words
with figurative or comparative meaning rather than literal meaning (Citron et al.,
2020). Metaphors can be
found in everyday life, not just in language activities, but also in human thoughts and acts (Gibbs Jr, 2019). Moreover, some are created as a result of human conduct that is influenced
by extremely precise sentences or words that have their own qualities. This can
occur in a variety of situations, including romance, kinship, family, marriage,
Lego-Lego or dances, and even traditional rites.
Due to the sheer Ojo Kumba futung incident, the
poetry in Ojo Kumba futung Letang Dulionong has its own unique characteristics
or history. This incident has a story about a virgin between the villages of
Alor Kecil and Dulolong who are tied in a step and unique event that cannot be
answered with human logic. Letang dulionong is an underground tunnel that
connects the settlements of Alor Kecil and Dulolong. It is roughly three
kilometers long and runs from Dulolong to Alor Kecil. When there is a big wave at the beetle's mouth in Alor Kecil
village, the sea water and soft corals that come to the surface in Dulolong
Village, which is located in the main chamber of the Uma Kakang tribe's house
that flows through a long tunnel underneath, generally happens. Through the
tunnel, the sea and soft corals will reverberate in Dulolong Village,
specifically in the Uma Kakang Tribe's residence. According to Dulolong Kasnawi
Kamahi, a historical figure, the underground passage has a unique food content
and is a true testament to the friendship between the villages of Alor Kecil
and Dulolong. Prior to the occurrence of the tunnel, the ancestors had the idea
to pull the rope from Dulolong village to Alor Kecil as a symbol of
brotherhood, but this was not realized due to concerns about the rope's easy
damage, so Mr. Nae Saku received an inspiration from God through an underground
tunnel that occurred so that it is not easily damaged by various parties, so
that the location of the underground hole is still clear and can be seen with
the n Mr. Nae Saku, who was born in a small Alor village. The verse goes like
this:
Oo Kumba Futung ee�� Ojo
kumba futung
Oo Kumba Futung�� Ojo Kumba
futung
Oo Dulionong ee�� Oo
Dulionong
Oo Dulionong ee�� Letang
Dulionong
Mr. Musliha Sado said the poem was about a
brotherly bond that was symbolized by the sign of ojo kumba futung letang
dulionong during Mr. Nae Saku's move from Alor Kecil Village to Dulolong
Village with the goal of spreading the erroneous faith. The existence of
establishing and growing the growth of the Dulolong Village village with varied
family ties from various immigrant tribes both from Flores, even indigenous
tribes in Alor such as Kolana, Apui, and Welai, occurred in Dulolong Village.
4. Cultural
Meaning (Culture)
Culture is the outcome of human taste and
initiative, or human efforts, which have their own significance in carrying out
or carrying out the diverse demands and needs of each individual human person (Hasanova,
2021). Culture is a result that is
expressed through the human
mind and body.
According to science, the ojo kumba Futung
poetry became a culture since it was based on the thoughts of Mr. Nae Saku's
ancestors. The Ojo Kumba Futung Letang Dulionong poem is pronounced when the
Uma Kakang Tribe's dwelling is reroofed or when other things are done to the
Umaka Kakang tribe in particular. This poem needs to
be mentioned since it is a cultural heritage by Mr. Nae Saku, and the poem's
meaning is that Alor consists of three Islamic villages, namely Alor Kecil,
Alor Besar, and Dulolong, all of which have a history or origin of one blood or
origin. Mr. Jota Vani Tofang Sah subsequently named one descendent ABAL, which
means "I Bring the Message of the Ancestors" in Adang Ten Villages,
Alor Tiga Villages, and Seven Village Temples.
5.
Background of the Poet in
Using Ojo Kumba Futung Letang Dulionong
The poet uses this song's title because it has
only one goal: to preserve a cultural or historical tradition that will not be
forgotten by future generations, particularly Dulolong's biological children
and even the entire community of Alor Regency who can recognize it.
