YOGYAKARTA - Almost every Batak child knows the lyrics of my son's song Naburju. However, behind the emotional melody that is often sung, fierce debate arises. Is it true that this song is an parental control weapon?

Actually the phrase "my good boy" seems to be a spell of hope. But, for some children, that phrase feels like a burden. For that, let's explore more whether the narrative in this song creates pressure or is true motivation.

Reporting from the Batak Center on Facebook, here are the full lyrics of my son Naburju's creation. Drs. Problemoon Simatupang MSC:

My son gave birth to my son hasianku

"my son"

ingot do ho amang di akka podani

old natua mi

Dung hupaborhat ho namarsikkola i

tu luat na dao i amang

get do ho amang,get do ho

manaon na hassit i

Molo huingot do, sude tahe amang

Pangalaho nasalpu i

Sipata lomos do, natua-tuamon

Dihamabuniani

"I want to do mansai gomos, please obey the muba Rohami"

Djalo do amang, dipalo do

Tangiangki amang

Ipe amang, my hasian

"my son"

pagomos ma tangiang mi

"It started to become a nabolon i"

Anggiat ma ture, sude hamu pinoppar hi amerang

marsiamin amenan, marsitukkol Tukolan

songon suhat di robean i

Dung LAM dao amang, pangarantoan mi

my son hasian hu

Dihaburjuhon ho do i sude amang

ditano sileban i

Maulite ma adop tu Tu Tu Tuhan i

Dina dijalumomi amang

Juppangmu do amang

Juppangmu do

Na dyanahanmi

Ipe amang, my hasian

"my son"

pagomos ma tangiang mi

"It started to become a nabolon i"

Anggiat ma ture, sude hamu pinoppar hi amerang

marsiamin amenan, marsitukkol Tukolan

songon suhat di robean i

Ipe amang, my hasian

"my son"

pagomos ma tangiang mi

"It started to become a nabolon i"

Anggiat ma ture, sude hamu pinoppar hi amerang

marsiamin amenan, marsitukkol Tukolan

songon suhat di robean i

The song "My son Naburju" is a work created by Problemoon Simatupang and has become an unofficial song for the Batak family, especially those who have children in overseas. Denotationally, this song is purely an expression of affection and prayer.

The main message lies in the opening phrase "My son followed my son, my son sang" which means "My good son, my son, my beautiful / obedient child."

This opening phrase is an acknowledgment of the value of a child. Parents remind their children to always remember "akka podani natua tua mi" (petuah dari orang saya) while struggling in rantau land ("marsikkola i tu luat na dao i"). The essence of the lyrics is hope that children are steadfast ("benget do ho") and successful in their efforts ("Juppanmu do na dyanahanami").

So, is it true that my son's song Naburju is a control weapon? The answer is complex. This song is basically a sincere prayer that asks the Beginning to become a Nabolon (God) so that the child is successful. Lyrics are not a weapon, but a cultural value foundation.

This song will only feel like control if the noble values in it are misunderstood or expressed by parents as unrealistic unilateral demands. In the end, my son Naburju serves as a mirror. A mirror for children to reflect on moral responsibility and identity, as well as a mirror for parents to measure whether their hopes have been conveyed as sincere prayers or have shifted to pressing expectations.
