 This traditional song was written by "sunan Kali Jaga" ( a person who spread religion of Islam in Indonesia). This song tell us about evolution of Islam at that time, which is many Javanese society starting follow Islam religion.



Lir-Ilir's song give us lesson, humans should realize that life in this world is short like rice 's tree. We should wake up ( lir-ilir, ngelilir) as a fresh planted rice, grow, become large, fruiting and harvested. Learn about Islam religion, be faithful to and perform command from GOD.
