D. Data Analysis Techniques
In the analyzing of the data, the researcher looked at the lyrics and listened to the songs, both the English songs and their counterparts in Bahasa Indonesia.
After listening to the song, the researcher consulted the lyrics written down, finding which line is the equivalence to which line in the song. The researcher
determined the musical devices first of the two lines, whether the Bahasa Indonesia song has the same rhythm andor rhyme. After that the researcher
determined which of the strategies proposed by Lefevere is used in the translation of the song lyrics.
The Researcher used the theory proposed by Bell about equivalence. After finding the musical devices and then the line in English and its translated version,
researcher tried to assess, and tojudge the quality based on meaning equivalence of the lyrics.

These verses are taken from the song entitled Lepaskan in Bahasa Indonesia and Let It Go in English. The first line of the example, showing that both lyrics,
English and Bahasa Indonesia, employ Assonance and Consonance. The translator used Blank Verse Translation to translate the line. Although, both lyrics have the
same meter, which is tetra meter, consisting of four feet, they employ a different rhythm.
The translator tried to convey the meaning like the original, and want to make an impact to the viewers like the original version has impact on the viewers.
Based on the theory proposed by Bell of degree of equivalence, these dubbing of song are partial equivalence, although the meaning are equivalent and acceptable,
both lyrics have different style of rhythm although employing the same meter.
