Abstract

This paper examined the song lyrics “Only Rindu” by Andmesh and “Just Misssing You” by Emma Heesters, by using a comparative approach to literary translation. This research seeks more specifically at the changes in language style found in translated lyrics. The results found are 1) transformation of ellipsis language style to zero, 2) personification language style changed to denotative, 3) language style does not directly change into silepsis and zeugma, 4) then the language style that is maintained is the repetition language style. Changes in language style will also change the choice of words into English, this can also change the physical composition of song lyrics, which then changes the aesthetics of the song’s shape, from the results of the research it turns out that after translating the verse into the song lyrics change to 12, it is far different from the original lyrics only has 6 stanzas.
