DIVE INTO THE LYRICS OF SPIRITUAL SONG 'PRAISE BY EW IN BATAK DIALECT

Every language has a different way of structuring sentences, and a translator needs to change the structure of sentences so that they sound natural in the intended language. This involves paying attention to the beats and emphasis of words that can affect the way a song is sung. Song lyrics often contain specific references to a particular culture. Translators need to understand the cultural background of both languages so that the meaning or nuances in the lyrics are not lost. Phrases or idioms that are common in a culture may not be able to be translated directly without losing their meaning. Vocabulary in one language may not have an exact equivalent in another, so translators must be creative in choosing appropriate words to convey the same intent. This becomes more difficult when it comes to very specific terms or expressions. It is very important to pay attention to the emphasis of words and rhythm when translating lyrics. Many songs have a certain rhythm pattern that must be maintained in order for the translated version to remain pleasing to the ear and match the original melody. Word obscurity and idiom usage often cause problems, as some words can have multiple meanings depending on the context. Translators must be able to interpret the meaning accurately so that there is no confusion. Facing these challenges requires special skills and a deep understanding of both languages and cultures, so that the translations can be accepted and enjoyed by new listeners
