Abstract

This paper discusses the folk song of Simalungun ethnic group which is classified into folklore. There is a folk song in Simalungun ethnic group that is sung to lull a child to sleep. A child will fall asleep after the song is sung for several times with soft and soothing voice. When a child sleeps well, his mother will be able to do daily chores. This lullaby is not only used to lull a child to sleep, but it contains philosophical values, namely advice to the child so that he will bring benefits to the ethnic group when heis grown up, and he will not become a burden to other people. In addition, its cultural art value is seen from a mother singing the song beautifully, and it indirectly presents a cultural art show to the people who hear her singing.
