Another artifact I have is the song RAN by Dekat di Hati. When I first heard the song, I was only able to translate a few words like jauh, hari ini, jumpaat, pagi hari, and di sini, which mean far, today, meet, this morning, and here. I also recognized the pronouns. I watched the music video and tried to use the context of the video along with the words that I could translate to understand the meaning of the song. The song is about a boyfriend and a girlfriend who are far away from each other. The song ends with the resolution that time and distance do not matter because they are so close in so many other ways. Once I figured this out, I used a dictionary to translate some of the new words I have not heard before like langit, jantung, and jarak, which are sky, heart, and distance.
