Baju Baru
Charles Hutagalung Lyrics

The lyrics of "Baju Baru" by Charles Hutagalung revolve around a child asking his mother to buy him a new shirt for Sunday. The child seems to be waiting for someone at the location where he will wear the new shirt. He keeps asking his mother for help and emphasizes the importance of having a new shirt for the occasion. The repetition of the chorus "Mama mama belikan baju yang baru" emphasizes the child's persistence in asking for a new shirt. The use of the word "mah" at the end of sentences, which is an informal term of address for one's mother in Indonesian, adds a sense of familial closeness and endearment to the song.
