Jenggot Uban (Gending Rare Cover)

DISCLAIMER! - This song is NOT a new song by Ki Barak Selem, but merely a cover of the Gending Rare in Metal version.

[ Gending berarti lagu, tabuh, nyanyian, sedangkan Rare berarti bayi/ kanak-kanak, Gending Rare berarti nyanyian untuk bayi/ kanak-kanak. Gending Rare diketahui sebagai salah satu dari beberapa karya sastra Bali yang diungkapkan secara lisan/nyanyian. ]

Saya buat cover lagu ini disaat tiba titik jenuh didalam membuat single ke 3 dari Ki Barak Selem, direkam sejak pertengahan Maret sampai 12 April 2024 dan dirilis resmi pada 14 April 2024.

Di Bali banyak terdapat Gending Rare yang sudah dilupakan oleh anak-anak generasi sekarang ini. Sesuai dengan komitmen Ki Barak Selem (KBS) yang salah satunya mengangkat seni & budaya Bali, maka KBS mencoba meng-cover lagu "Jenggot Uban" dengan versi kami sendiri, menggabungkan gamelan Bali dengan musik Metal. Cover lagu ini jauh dari kata sempurna, tapi paling tidak bisa mengingatkan generasi muda Bali akan karya sastra warisan leluhur Bali.

LIRIK BHS BALI

Kaki-kaki tanguda mebok,
Dibatan cunguhe ken di jagute,
Neked kapipine bek misi ebok,
Buin putih buka kapase,

Apa kaki tamula keto,
Mabulu uling dimara lekade,
Tusing cening kaki majenggot reko,
Kaki tua mara ye mentik.

ARTI 

Kakek-kakek kenapa berambut
Di bawah hidung dan di dahi
Di dekat pipi banyak sekali ada rambut
Putih seperti kapas

Apa kakek memang seperti itu
Tumbuh bulu ketika baru lahir
Tidak cening
Ketika kakek tua barulah tumbuh.

MAKNA LIRIK

Lagu ini mencerminkan ketidaktahuan seorang anak kecil tentang rambut putih yang tumbuh di sekitar wajah seorang kakek. Hingga dia bertanya “Apa kakek memang seperti itu ( sejak dulu ) ?.”

Lagu ini menceritakan tentang orang belum pengalaman dan yang sudah pengalaman. Anak kecil itu melambangkan orang yang belum pengalaman namun memiliki rasa ingin tahu yang besar. Sementara kakek itu menunjukkan orang yang memiliki pengalaman.

Lagu ini pun memiliki arti lain yakni bahwa segala sesuatu ada waktunya, segala sesuatu ada prosesnya. Untuk memiliki uban butuh waktu, untuk memiliki kumis butuh waktu dan tentu saja ada prosesnya.

+++ENG+++

[ Gending means song, rhythm, chant, while Rare means baby/child, Gending Rare means a song for babies/children. Gending Rare is known as one of several Balinese literary works expressed orally/through singing. ]

I made a cover of this song when I reached a saturation point in the process of making the 3rd single from Ki Barak Selem, recorded from mid-March to April 12 2024 and officially released on April 14 2024.

In Bali, there are many Gending Rare that have been forgotten by the children of the current generation. In line with Ki Barak Selem's (KBS) commitment, which includes promoting Balinese arts and culture, KBS attempts to cover the song "Jenggot Uban" with our own version, combining Balinese gamelan with Metal music. This cover song is far from perfect, but at least it can remind the younger generation of Bali of the literary heritage of their ancestors.

LYRIC IN BALINESE

Kaki-kaki tanguda mebok,
Dibatan cunguhe ken di jagute,
Neked kapipine bek misi ebok,
Buin putih buka kapase,

Apa kaki tamula keto,
Mabulu uling dimara lekade,
Tusing cening kaki majenggot reko,
Kaki tua mara ye mentik.

TRANSLATE

Why do grandfathers have hair?
Under the nose and on the forehead
There is a lot of hair near the cheeks
White like cotton

Is grandfather really like that?
Grows feathers when new born
No son
Only when grandfather grows old does he grow a beard.

MEANING OF LYRICS

This song reflects the ignorance of a child about the white hair that grows around an old man's face. Until he asks, "Has grandpa always been like that?"

This song tells about the inexperienced and the experienced. The little child symbolizes someone who is inexperienced but has great curiosity. While the old man represents someone who has experience.

This song also has another meaning, namely that everything has its time, everything has its process. To have gray hair takes time, to have a mustache takes time, and of course, there is a process.
