    Enjoy Musical Poetry
    Have you ever listened to songs sung by Ebiet G. Ade or Bimbo? The lyrics of the songs they sang were very poetic. The lyrics of the song are basically poetry that is musicized or presented in the form of a song that has a rhythm.

    In fact, some Bimbo song lyrics were written by Taufik Ismail, one of Indonesia’s foremost poets. Let’s enjoy the lyrics of that song! Play one of the Ebiet G. Ade songs!

    Listen and try singing too! You can also sing the song “God” by Taufik Ismail, popularized by Trio Bimbo. While singing, listen to the song lyrics. The following is the text of the song “Lord”.

    God
    By: Bimbo Trio, source: stafa band
    God, where I take shelter
    Where i complain
    With all complaints

    God, God Almighty
    Where I adore
    With all prayers

    I am far You are far
    I am near You are close
    The heart is a mirror
    A place of merit and sin combined

    After you listen or sing the song, state your opinion about the rhythm of the song. Is the rhythm in accordance with the atmosphere and the contents of the song lyrics? How about the atmosphere of your feelings and imagination that you imagine when listening to the song?

    Next, try the song poem you read as you read the poem accompanied by certain musical instruments, such as guitar, piano, or gamelan!
