and considered as one of the greatest Indonesian musician of all time
He was known as his stage name Oma Irama before he made a pilgrimage to Mecca and became a haji. He later took the name Rhoma Irama, which is an abbreviation of "Raden Haji Oma Irama"
His career began in the late 1960s when he recorded solo records and with the group Orkes Melayu Purnama. He sang duets on several record LPs with Indonesian female vocal stars such as Inneke Kusumawati, Ellya Khadam, Lily Junaedhy, Vivi Sumanti, and the later to be crowned 'Queen of Dangdut', Elvy Sukaesih. Once Oma broke from recording with the Purnama Group, he eventually formed Orkes Melayu Soneta, the first so-called Dangdut group. In fact, Oma established the term "Dangdut" with a song by that name from the early 70's. He wrote the classics "Kareta Malam" and "Kuda Lumping" which were sung by Elvy Sukaesih. Once Soneta was established in the early 70's, Oma changed his name to Rhoma and went on a decade long run of successful hit records and films, all of which starred Rhoma playing himself while performing all of his hits.
His 1974 album, Begadang, ranked #11 on Rolling Stone Indonesia's "150 Greatest Indonesian Albums of All Time" list. Furthermore, the main single "Begadang" reached at number 24 on the magazine's "150 Greatest Indonesian Songs of All Time" list.
Keramat
Rhoma Irama Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A batas nya...
The lyrics to Rhoma Irama's song Keramat pay tribute to the importance of a mother in a person's life. The opening line "Hai manusia hormati ibumu yg melahirkan dan membesarkanmu" translates to "Oh human, respect your mother who gave birth to you and raised you." The next line acknowledges how a mother's milk and love shapes a person's physical and emotional being: "darah dagingmu dari air susunya jiwa ragamu dari kasih sayangnya" meaning "your flesh and blood from her milk, your soul and body from her love."
The last two lines are slightly cryptic but suggest that a mother is the only person who truly knows and understands a person, without limits or boundaries. "Dialah manusia satu-satunya yang menya yangimu tanpa ada batasnya" can be translated to "She is the only person who knows you without any boundaries." This line implies that even though we may hide parts of ourselves from the world, a mother's love and intuition pierces through all facades, recognizing and embracing our truest selves.
Overall, the song encourages listeners to respect and appreciate the role of a mother in their life - a message that many cultures and societies universally hold.

Hai manusia, hormati ibumu
Yang melahirkan dan membesarkanmu
Darah dagingmu dari air susunya
Jiwa ragamu dari kasih-sayangnya
Dialah manusia satu-satunya
Yang menyayangimu tanpa ada batasnya
Doa ibumu dikabulkan Tuhan
Dan kutukannya jadi kenyataan
Ridla Ilahi karena ridlanya
Murka Ilahi karena murkanya
Bila kau sayang pada kekasih
Lebih sayanglah pada ibumu
Bila kau patuh pada rajamu
Lebih patuhlah pada ibumu
Bukannya gunung tempat kau meminta
Bukan lautan tempat kau memuja
Bukan pula dukun tempat kau menghiba
Bukan kuburan tempat memohon doa
Tiada keramat yang ampuh di dunia
Selain dari doa ibumu jua
