The Interpretation of Madani in the Poetic Verses of the Malay Lullaby

The Malay Lullaby or known as Lagu Dodoi Melayu is in the form of a traditional literary genre poem that uses elements of rhyme, metaphor and others, is short, soft words, and sung melodiously traditionally. Its content, which is loaded with the philosophy of education, is an influence on the early world of children, which certainly promises a connotation of well-being and spiritual soul. The study aims to form the interpretation of MADANI in the verses of The Malay Lullaby as well as show its relationship in the formation of a civil society. The study was carried out qualitatively on the discussion of the main paper entitled Membangun Negara Madani : Visi dan Kerangka Dasar Reformasi written by Anwar Ibrahim (2022). The MADANI Framework consists of six pillars, namely Sustainability, Well being, Innovation, Respect, Trust, and Ihsan (Compassion). The study found that the language aspect is seen as a priority that appears in the paper. The language aspect seen in general gives a scenario that other elements such as sub-literature, traditional literature, culture, and local history are also related and important to be the foundation for the MADANI framework. The interpretation of MADANI in The Malay Lullaby can be seen based on four of the six pillars of MADANI, which are well-being, respect, confidence and courtesy. Studies related to traditional literary themes and the relationship of social efficacy are widely conducted, but studies on the development of MADANI society are still limited. Therefore, this study definitely gives space and opportunity to the community, especially also gives a positive view on the implications and sequence of traditional literature such as The Malay Lullaby which gives legitimacy to the formation of civil society
