In term of assonance, the researcher did not see significant differences. The difference of sound that is considered as assonance in each version is a natural
aspect. As English language has a different set of vowel sounds compared to Bahasa Indonesia language. The researcher takes a look at whether the English
and Bahasa Indonesia employ assonance or not. Bahasa Indonesia language lacks of vowel sound, unlike English language.
d. Consonance
Consonance is the opposite of Assonance, it is repetition of consonant sounds. Like assonance, finding consonance is also easy. There a lot of lines and
verses that all employ consonance, either the English lyrics or Bahasa Indonesia lyrics.

Has a life, has a spirit, has a name Berjiwa,
punya hati,
bernama These examples are taken from the first stanza of Color of the Wind. In this
verse both English and Bahasa Indonesia lines employ consonance. In the first line of English line, there are y, n, and d sounds found in you, own-on, and
land. In the first line of Bahasa Indonesia there are k, m, and t sounds found in
every word of the line. In the second line of English line there are d and k, and in Bahasa Indonesia there are h and k. In the third line of English there are r
and t and in Bahasa Indonesia line there are t and h. In the fourth line there is h and in Bahasa Indonesia there is n. Finding consonant sound is easier than
finding vowel sound, because the realization of a consonant letter is far more limited than of than vowel letter.
However, there are still cases similar that of assonance that the English line did not employ consonance but the Bahasa Indonesia employ a consonance.

In these lines, the English lines did not employ a consonance. However, the Bahasa Indonesia lines of the same number employ a consonance. The first
example is taken from the first stanza of Color of the Wind. The Bahasa Indonesia line
The first example of Bahasa Indonesia is comprised of k and t while there is no repetition of consonant sound in the English version. In the second example
the Bahasa Indonesia employ s and b while there is no repetition of sound in
the English. In the third example of the Bahasa Indonesia there is the repetition of k while there is no repetition of sound in the English version.
The same goes with consonance, there are no significance different. Each line usually employs consonance, or if they are not employing consonance, usually it
is made up by the employment of assonance. Unlike assonance, the consonant sound of the English sound and Bahasa Indonesia sound are quite similar. It is
found that both lines may employ the same sound. However, the researcher is not concerned on whether the lines between English and Bahasa Indonesia employ the
same consonant sound, but the researcher is concerned on whether the Bahasa Indonesia translation employ consonance or not.
