Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ali orangnya manis hidungnya mancung panjang kumisnya
Ali baba ali baba
Ali mata keranjang tak boleh lihat nona yang muda
Si ali orang periang
Suka bernyanyi dan berdendang
Si ali berbintang terang
Ali baba, ali baba
Ali orangnya manis hidungnya mancung panjang kumisnya
Ali baba ali baba
Ali suka berdendang lagunya riang la la la lala
Ali baba, ali baba
Ali orangnya manis hidungnya mancung panjang kumisnya
Ali baba ali baba
Ali suka berdendang lagunya riang la la la lala
Ali suka berdendang lagunya riang la la la lala
Ali suka berdendang lagunya riang la la la lala
The song "Ali Baba" by Boys Are Toys features lyrics that describe Ali Baba, a man with a sweet face, a straight nose, and a long mustache, but has wandering eyes and cannot resist young girls. Despite this flaw, Ali is described as a joyful person who loves to sing and dance, and is believed to be blessed with good luck, allowing him to avoid unfortunate circumstances.
The lyrics of the song can be interpreted as a commentary on male behavior, particularly with regards to their tendency to objectify women, like Ali Baba's inability to control his gaze around young girls. Despite this flaw, however, Ali is portrayed as a likable character, which could suggest how society often forgives or overlooks the flaws of men who are otherwise charming or handsome.
Overall, the song "Ali Baba" can be seen as a playful and lighthearted take on traditional gender roles and societal expectations, highlighting how these norms can be both upheld and subverted.
