“kau bidadari jatuh
dari surga di hadapanku. Eeaa
Kau bidadari jatuh dari surga tepat di hatiku. Eeaa
So baby please be mine, please be mine, oohh eeaa
Karena hanya aku sang pangeran impianmu
eeaa eeaa eeaa eeaaa eeeaaa”
(“Eeaa” by Coboy Junior)
Kau bidadari jatuh dari surga tepat di hatiku. Eeaa
So baby please be mine, please be mine, oohh eeaa
Karena hanya aku sang pangeran impianmu
eeaa eeaa eeaa eeaaa eeeaaa”
(“Eeaa” by Coboy Junior)
“Kamu kamu kamu curi perhatianku
Ingin selalu dekat denganmu
Malu malu malu ku tapi mau
Kau tlah merubah duniaku
You changed my world
You changed my world”
(“Mau tapi Malu” by Bessara)
Ingin selalu dekat denganmu
Malu malu malu ku tapi mau
Kau tlah merubah duniaku
You changed my world
You changed my world”
(“Mau tapi Malu” by Bessara)
Of course, when you read lyrics above, you will recognize
that both of the songs are a love songs, sung by Coboy Junior- a kid boyband
with 4 kids as personel and Bessara—a kid
girlband with 4 kids as personel. Those
song are so much well known among children. Children often sing them. Though, neither of those songs is suit with children. An
ironic, I think.
Children are supposed to sing something which still suit
with their world, not a teenage’s world—love, dating. However, in fact, most of
children is exposed with love song, which is ironically sung by kids too. They
(the kid singers) seem like stepping over their ages, talking about love in
their song, meanwhile I think they do not really know what the love is!
There is no more song for children like pelangi, bintang kecil, aku anak sehat, balonku, naik delman,
desaku, kasih ibu, lihat kebunku, etc, which tell about things that are not
only educating, but also matching with the kid’s scope. A scope where they
(children) are able to know common stuff around them, such as pelangi, bintang kecil, kebun, delman,
kebun, etc. In addition, those
song, not only teaching about what pelangi
or bintang kecil looks like but
also teaching about moral value, as we can meet in pelangi and kasih ibu.
Pelangi
“Pelangi, pelangi
Alangkah indahmu
Merah, kuning, hijau, di langit yang biru
Alangkah indahmu
Merah, kuning, hijau, di langit yang biru
Pelukismu agung siapa
gerangan?
Pelangi, pelangi ciptaan Tuhan”
Pelangi, pelangi ciptaan Tuhan”
Kasih Ibu
“Kasih Ibu kepada
beta
Tak terhindar sepanjang masa
Hanya memberi, tak harap kembali
Bagaikan sang surya menyinari dunia”
Tak terhindar sepanjang masa
Hanya memberi, tak harap kembali
Bagaikan sang surya menyinari dunia”
The songs above show us how great God’s creation is and how
sweet mother’ s love is, educating children to be always grateful and love
their mom. Compare with “Eeaa” that indirectly leads children to know love and
date prematurely as written in lyric “So
baby please be mine, please be mine, oohh eeaa. Karena hanya aku sang pangeran impianmu”.
Unfortunately, media supports this phenomenon by
broadcasting love songs sung by kid boyband or girlband. It can be known
vividly when you see live music programme, such as Dahsyat and Inbox. There are
lots of children love and sing together their songs. Unlike in my era, in this era there is no more
music programme such as Tralala trilili which only focusing in music for
children—a place for children to access their world in music properly. Media
should take a part in educating children not only thinking about market demand. Last but not least, this posting does not mean to judge
Coboy Junior or sort bad, but it is just my opinion about phenomenon in
children music today.
