Analisis Semiotik Riffaterre Lirik Lagu “ سديي الرئي س ”/Sayyidī Ar-Raīs/ Karya Hama Meshary Hamada

Abstract

This research is about expressionlessness, heuristic reading, and hermeneutic reading in the lyrics of the song “Sayyidī Ar-Raīs” using Michael Riffaterre's theory. The research method used is an audio-visual approach with a qualitative method with data collection techniques of listening and recording methods. The analysis approach uses a semiotic approach to the lyrics of the song “Sayyidī Ar-Raīs” Or Mr. President, which consists of 5 stanzas 42 lines. The results showed that the lack of continuity of expression contained in the song lyrics is caused by the replacement of meanings such as simile, metaphor, personification, synecdoche, metonymy, deviation of the meaning of ambiguity, contradiction, creation of rhyme meaning, and typography. Heuristic and hermeneutic readings reveal the deep meaning of the suffering of the Palestinian people in the conflict with Israel. The theme of this song carries a message about the suffering of Palestinian children identified through the matrix, which is the core of the basic idea of the text; model, which is the pattern or structure of the matrix; and variant, which is the variation or development of the model. The hypogram in the lyrics of this song is related to the inauguration of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel approved by world leaders. In conclusion, this research contributes to the suffering of Palestinian children, victims of war who long for peace and want to meet Mr. President such as Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-un, Angela Merkel, Justin Trudeau, and António Guterres.
