Abstract
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan dan menafsirkan makna idiom yang terdapat dalam lirik lagu Batak Toba karya cipta Serli Napitu. Idiom dipandang sebagai satuan bahasa yang maknanya tidak dapat dipahami secara harfiah karena bersifat konotatif dan sangat bergantung pada konteks serta latar budaya penuturnya. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif. Data penelitian berupa kata dan frasa idiomatis yang ditemukan dalam lirik lagu Batak Toba karya Serli Napitu, seperti martangan pudi, andung buha baju, margogo ijur bari, tarpaima sijujung goar, garis ni tangan, dan songon lapung-lapung ni eme. Data dikumpulkan melalui teknik studi dokumentasi dengan cara membaca dan mencermati lirik lagu, kemudian dianalisis secara semantik dan kontekstual dengan mempertimbangkan latar budaya Batak Toba. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa idiom dalam lagu-lagu tersebut berfungsi sebagai sarana utama untuk menyampaikan emosi, nilai moral, dan pandangan hidup masyarakat Batak Toba secara simbolis dan puitis. Idiom-idiom yang ditemukan merepresentasikan nilai keikhlasan, tanggung jawab keluarga, bakti kepada orang tua, harapan akan keturunan, penerimaan terhadap nasib, serta ketabahan dalam menghadapi ketidakpastian hidup. Dengan demikian, penggunaan idiom dalam lirik lagu Batak Toba tidak hanya memperkaya estetika bahasa, tetapi juga berperan penting dalam pelestarian budaya dan penyampaian nilai-nilai kehidupan secara mendalam kepada pendengar.
