3.3 Roles of the Researcher

In this research, I had a role as a data observer, the data collector, the data analyzer, and the data reporter. As the data observer, I read all the data of English and Indonesian version from the song lyrics. After reading the entire data, I listed all the data in a table. After listing the data, I analyzed and classified them to get the answers of the problems. From several references, I classified the translation techniques based on Molina and Albir‟s classification 2002. The last, I reported the data analysis by describing my findings and providing the detail discussion of the analysis.

3.4 Type of Data

This research was a qualitative research. Like any other researches, it needed data to be analyzed and the data was taken from the object of the research itself. The object I used in this research was an album. The type of data used in this research is textual data or non-numerical data in the form of sentences in song lyrics.

3.5 Instrument of Collecting Data

The data were be obtained by collecting the song lyrics in English and Indonesian. After that, I provided table to analyze the lyrics based on translation techniques and find out their gain and loss. Table 3.1 Translation Technique and the Resulted Gain and Loss No Source Text Literal Translation Target Text Translation Technique Gain Loss In table 3.1, there are six columns. From the left side, the first column is the number of the data. The second column contains Indonesian version of the songs. The third column contains literal translation of the data. Then, the next side contains the English version. The fifth column describes the translation technique of each datum, the last two columns show the gain and loss in translated song lyrics. After being classified, the data were counted to know the frequency and percentage of each translation technique occurred in the data analysis and the gain and loss. Afterwards, I would see the dominant translation techniques used in translated song lyrics. The data extrapolation would be presented in the following table: Table 3.2 Data Tabulation Form No Translation Technique Frequency Percentage 1. 2. 3. Total Table 3.3 Data Tabulation Form No. Patterns of Gain and Loss Gain Loss f p f p 1. 2. 3. Total
