This involves collecting the lyrics of the Indonesian and English versions of the song and listening to the song. The translation method employed in this instance is based on the V diagram theory, which was first proposed by Newmark. The results indicated that the predominant translation method employed was one that placed significant emphasis on the target language, with some portions of the lyrics also emphasizing the source language.
