Work introduction
Jaranan is a traditional folk song from Central Java, usually sung by children while they play. Jaranan in Javanese means “playing horse/as if you’re riding a horse”. It is still played and sung until now.
Original Javanese lyrics :
Jaranan... Jaranan, Jarane jaran teji
Sing numpak ndoro Bei
Sing nggiring poro abdi
Jrek jrek nong, jrek jrek gung
Jrek jrek turut lurung
Gedebuk krincing gedebuk krincing thok thok gedebuk jedher
In English, freely translated :
Riding horse, a horse that has dreadlocks
The one who rides is benevolent
And the followers follow
Jrek jrek nong, jrek jrek gung (sound of the horses marching)
Gedebuk krincing gedebuk krincing thok thok gedebuk jedher (sound of horses marching)
The song tells a story of respecting the elderly and keeping the harmony between friends and family, while most importantly playing together with friends.
