Ningrat
Jamrud Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Macarin Kamu
Nggak jauh beda
Dengan main ludruk
Pake nanya silsilah
Golongan darah
Ningrat atau umum

Biar Ortumu seneng
Pak Lekmu seneng
Bu Demu seneng
Mbahmu juga seneng
Ku ikut aja cengar cengir
Mirip kebo di sawah
Ooo..

Pake Buke ini abad baru
Bukan dunia wayang
Ngomong darah biru
Sekarang orang ketawa

Pak Lek Bu De
Dulu Rama Shinta sekarang si Madona
Dulu Gatot Kaca sekarang John Travolta

Aku hanya ingin bercinta
Dengan kamu sendiri
Nggak perlu si anu si itu
Harus gini mesti gitu

Yayayaya huhu..
Yayayaya huhu..
Yayayaya huhu..
Yayayaya huhu..

Pasti ngapelku nggak pernah romantis
Tiap datang di suguhin keris
Mana Ortumu Pak Lekmu Bu Demu Mbahmu
Selalu ceramah

Yayayaya huhu..
Yayayaya huhu..
Yayayaya huhu..
Yayayaya huhu..

TholΓ© Lha koΓ© kui sopo
Wani-waninΓ© macari anakku
Lha piyΓ© to
Wis rambutΓ© dhowo
Awakkè tatoan
PakΓ©anΓ© semrawut
Dasar wong Γ©dhan

Pake Buke dulu nenteng keris
Sekarang nenteng kompo
Dulu iseng nyirih
Sekarang mainin valas

Aku hanya ingin bercinta
Dengan kamu sendiri
Nggak perlu si anu si itu
Harus gini mesti gitu

Yayayaya huhu..
Yayayaya huhu..
Yayayaya huhu..
Yayayaya huhu..

Pasti ngapelku nggak pernah romantis
Tiap datang di suguhin keris
Mana Ortumu Pak Lekmu Bu Demu Mbahmu
Selalu ceramah

Pasti ngapelku nggak pernah romantis
Tiap datang di suguhin keris
Mana Ortumu Pak Lekmu Bu Demu Mbahmu
Selalu ceramah

Yayayaya huhu..
Yayayaya huhu..
Yayayaya huhu..
Yayayaya huhu..(nggak pernah romantis)
Yayayaya huhu..

Overall Meaning

The song Ningrat by Jamrud talks about society's obsession with social status and aristocracy. The lyrics describe how people are willing to go to great lengths to prove their noble lineage and gain approval from their elders. The song is critical of this obsession and the way it causes people to prioritize outdated traditions and beliefs over personal happiness and freedom.


The first verse of the song talks about how people are so obsessed with their social status that they are willing to go to great lengths to prove their noble lineage. The lyrics also suggest that this obsession is not much different from a traditional Javanese performance called Ludruk, where people use their ancestry and bloodline to determine their social status. The chorus of the song suggests that people should be happy with who they are and not try to conform to societal expectations.


The second verse of the song talks about how people used to be obsessed with traditional Javanese cultural icons and now idolize western celebrities instead. The line "Dulu Gatot Kaca sekarang John Travolta" is a reference to how people used to admire the character Gatot Kaca from the Mahabharata, and now they admire Hollywood star John Travolta.


Overall, the song Ningrat by Jamrud is a critique of the societal norms that restrict personal freedom and happiness in the pursuit of social status and approval.


Line by Line Meaning

Macarin Kamu Nggak jauh beda Dengan main ludruk Pake nanya silsilah Golongan darah Ningrat atau umum
Acting like I'm related to you Is no different than watching a comedy Asking about our family tree Blood type, noble or common


Biar Ortumu seneng Pak Lekmu seneng Bu Demu seneng Mbahmu juga seneng Ku ikut aja cengar cengir Mirip kebo di sawah Ooo..
To make your parents, uncles, aunts and grandparents happy I just go along with it and smile Like a water buffalo in the rice field Ooo..


Pake Buke ini abad baru Bukan dunia wayang Ngomong darah biru Sekarang orang ketawa
Using a book in this modern era Not a world of puppets Talking about nobility Now people laugh


Pak Lek Bu De Dulu Rama Shinta sekarang si Madona Dulu Gatot Kaca sekarang John Travolta
Uncles and aunts Once Rama Shinta, now it's Madonna Once Gatot Kaca, now it's John Travolta


Aku hanya ingin bercinta Dengan kamu sendiri Nggak perlu si anu si itu Harus gini mesti gitu
I just want to love Only you Don't need anyone else It shouldn't have to be this way


Pasti ngapelku nggak pernah romantis Tiap datang di suguhin keris Mana Ortumu Pak Lekmu Bu Demu Mbahmu Selalu ceramah
My courting is never romantic Every time is served a keris Where are your parents, uncles, aunts, grandparents? Always lecturing


Tholé Lha koé kui sopo Wani-waniné macari anakku Lha piyé to Wis rambuté dhowo Awakkè tatoan Pakéané semrawut Dasar wong édhan
Who do you think you are? Acting like you're my child What's the point? Hair is turned gray Tattoos all over Messy clothes A person with no manners


Pake Buke dulu nenteng keris Sekarang nenteng kompo Dulu iseng nyirih Sekarang mainin valas
Using a book before I carried a keris Now I carry a guitar Before, just trying out some tobacco Now, playing card games


Yayayaya huhu.. Yayayaya huhu.. Yayayaya huhu.. Yayayaya huhu..

abang sepupu lahir tahun 80,
gw lahir tahun 90.
nah yang ngenalin jamrud itu abang gw.
sampe sekarang udah 4x nonton konser livenya,
dan kesannya selalu sama, asik dan tidak banyak improve.
live sama rekaman suara musiknya sama aja 90%
yang bedakan hanya drumnya saja (yg pernah nonton live pasti paham).

LEGEND!!!

Jaman lagu ini ngtop masih remaja.
Pasukan usia, 38/40 kita satu server.
Remaja paling unik, rokok satu batang, taruh di dompet. Buat nanti habis makan. Rasanya enak banget.
Sekarang sehari sebungkus Marlboro merah, rasanya biasa aja.
Itulah jaman dimana indahnya dunia penuh perjuangan.
