Ciri kebahasaan

berikut ciri kebahasaan dari song.

 Imagery. Imagery describes about feelings and emotions. Sebuah lagu biasanya berusaha
menggambarkan perasaan yang dirasakan si penulis.
 Rhythm. Ritme disini digunakan untuk menciptakan mood. Misalnya, apabila kita sedang
bersedih dan mendengarkan lagu dengan ritme slow, maka kita akan terbawa suasana
dengan lagu tersebut. So, rhythm creates mood!
 Figures of speech

1. Metaphor, comparing two things that are not alike to suggest that they actually have
something in common. Sekilas memang kedua hal yang dibandingkan tidak berkaitan,
tetapi sebenarnya ada kesamaan antara dua hal tersebut.e.g. “Time is a thief” or “Her
haisr was silk”
2. Simile, compares two things using “like” or “as’’. Suatu hal digambarkan dengan hal
yang mirip dengan menggunakan kata ‘like’ atau ‘as’ e.g. “My love is like a red rose”.
3. Hyperbole, a dramatic language. Big exaggeration, usually with humor. Suatu hal
digambarkan secara berlebihan, terkadang menggelitik karena terlalu berlebihan.
e.g. “That math homework took me 8 million years to finish”.
 4. Personification, an object appear like a person. Objek (bukan manusia) memiliki
kemampuan seperti manusia. e.g. “The wind whisper” or “The snowflakes danced in the
wind”.
5. Allititration, the repetation of the same beginning sound in a series of words. Perulangan
bunyi suara yang terdapat di awal setiap kata. e.g. “Peter Parker pick a pack of pants
punctually”

Struktur

1. Intro, yaitu bagian awal lagu, biasanya belum terdengar suara penyanyi (hanya
instrumennya saja)
2. Verse,atau bait adalah bagian pengantar ke chorus.
3. Refrain, peralihan dari verse ke chorus
4. Chorus, bagian inti, biasanya yang paling mudah diingat.
5. Bridge, penghubung chorus ke chorus selanjutnya ataupun ke coda.
6. Coda, penutup lagu.

Struktur tersebut tidak bersifat kaku, jadi tidak semua lagu memiliki struktur yang tersusun
seperti itu. Tapi setiap lagu secara umum pasti memiliki verse, chorus, dan bridge.

Contoh lagu :

A MILLION DREAMS - PINK

[Verse 1]

I close my eyes and I can see

A world that’s waiting up for me that I call my own

Through the dark, through the door

Through where no one’s been before

But it feels like home

Aku menutup mata dan aku bisa melihat

Sebuah dunia yang menungguku yang kusebut duniaku

Melewati kegelapan, melewati pintu itu

Melewati dimana tidak ada orang disini sebelumnya

Tetapi terasa seperti rumah

 [Pre-Chorus]

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy

They can say, they can say I’ve lost my mind

I don’t care, I don’t care, if they call me crazy

We can live in a world that we design

Mereka bisa berkata, mereka bisa berkata semuanya terdengar gila

Mereka bisa berkata, mereka bisa berkata aku telah kehilangan pikiranku

Aku tidak peduli, aku tidak peduli, jika mereka memanggilku gila

Kita bisa hidup di dunia yang kita buat

[Chorus]

‘Cause every night, I lie in bed

The brightest colors fill my head

A million dreams are keeping me awake

I think of what the world could be

A vision of the one I see

A million dreams is all it’s gonna take

Oh, a million dreams for the world we’re gonna make

Karena setiap malam, aku berbaring di tempat tidur

Warna yang paling cerah memenuhi kepalaku

Jutaan mimpi membuatku terjaga

Aku memikirkan seperti apa dunia ini nanti

 Masa depan yang kulihat

Jutaan mimpi yang semuanya akan terwujud

Oh, jutaan mimpi untuk dunia yang akan kita buat

[Verse 2]

There’s a house we can build

Every room inside is filled with things from far away

Special things I compile

Each one there to make you smile on a rainy day

Ada sebuah rumah yang bisa kita bangun

Setiap ruangan dipenuhi dengan benda-benda dari jauh

Benda istimewa yang aku kumpulkan

Masing-masing untuk membuatmu tersenyum ketika hujan

[Pre-Chorus]

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy

They can say, they can say we’ve lost our minds

See, I don’t care, I don’t care if they call us crazy

Run away to a world that we design

Mereka bisa berkata, mereka bisa berkata semuanya terdengar gila

Mereka bisa berkata, mereka bisa berkata kita telah kehilangan pikiran kita

Lihat, aku tidak peduli, aku tidak peduli, jika mereka memanggil kita gila

Berlari menuju dunia yang kita buat

 [Chorus]

‘Cause every night, I lie in bed

The brightest colors fill my head

A million dreams are keeping me awake

I think of what the world could be

A vision of the one I see

A million dreams is all it’s gonna take

Oh, a million dreams for the world we’re gonna make

Karena setiap malam, aku berbaring di tempat tidur

Warna yang paling cerah memenuhi kepalaku

Jutaan mimpi membuatku terjaga

Aku memikirkan seperti apa dunia ini nanti

Masa depan yang kulihat

Jutaan mimpi yang semuanya akan terwujud

Oh, jutaan mimpi untuk dunia yang akan kita buat

[Bridge]

However big, however small

Let me be part of it all

Share your dreams with me

We may be right, we may be wrong

But I wanna bring you along to the world I see

To the world we close our eyes to see

 We close our eyes to see

Walaupun besar, walaupun kecil

Ijinkan aku menjadi bagian dari semuanya

Bagilah mimpimu denganku

Kita mungkin benar, mungkin salah

Tetapi aku ingin membawamu ke dunia yang kulihat

Ke dunia dimana kita memejamkan mata untuk melihat

Kita memejamkan mata untuk melihat

[Chorus]

Every night, I lie in bed

The brightest colors fill my head

A million dreams are keeping me awake

I think of what the world could be

A vision of the one I see

A million dreams is all it’s gonna take

A million dreams for the world we’re gonna make

Setiap malam, aku berbaring di tempat tidur

Warna yang paling cerah memenuhi kepalaku

Jutaan mimpi membuatku terjaga

Aku memikirkan seperti apa dunia ini nanti

Masa depan yang kulihat

Jutaan mimpi yang semuanya akan terwujud

Jutaan mimpi untuk dunia yang akan kita buat

[Outro]

For the world we’re gonna make

Untuk dunia yang akan kita buat
