This research aims to analyze the narrative structure, themes, characters, language style, as well as the social function and cultural context of the lyrics of the traditional Malay song, “Bangau Oh Bangau.” This song has a cumulative narrative structure that shows a cause-and-effect chain through interactions between the characters in it, such as storks, fish, grass, and others. Each verse of the song adds new elements that refer back to the original problem, creating continuity that shows the relationship between cause and effect in the ecosystem. Through a language style of repetition and direct dialogue, this song not only tells a story, but also conveys an educational message about the importance of maintaining balance in the natural environment. Apart from being entertainment, this song functions as a direct educational medium as a model and learning medium for children in understanding the concept of ecosystems and the relationships between living things. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method using the Malay analysis approach by Hashim Awang. The results of this research show that, in the context of Malay culture, this song reflects the interactions of daily life and shows the relationship between natural elements and their creators which are closely intertwined and influence each other, thereby emphasizing the values of togetherness and balance in Malay culture which is full of advice on self-improvement. In order to be wiser through lifelong learning, this model can be implemented as a learning model option that has its roots in the Malay family of the Riau Islands.
