The stigma towards the PKI's hereditary until now is still a ghost in our social, national and state life. How many potential children of the nation must bear the burden of history, even they are in difficulties of treading a career. This story has been written by many Indonesian writers. People who experience trauma, anything can evoke the events that cause him trauma, including song lyrics. Gunawan Budi Susanto made three songs, namely " Ilir-Ilir " (Sunan Kalijaga), " Ayah " (Charles Hutagalung) , and " Kalian Dengar Keluhanku""(Ebiet G. Ade) in constructing the short story" Nyanyian Penggali Kubur ". The hermeneutic approach is used to explore the inner meaning of the text. Even though without saying the words of the PKI, we can easily associate the emotional turmoil of the characters who tend to be sentimental in the short story related to the traumatic life of victims of the G/30/S/PKI stigma events. The problem is how the author responds and uses these three songs in constructing the story. The hermeneutic approach is used to explore the inner meaning of the text, by considering elements of the text, the background of creating the text, the environment of the text, the relationship with other texts, and the dialogue of the text with the reader (the interpreter, the meaning giver). The conclusion is that even without telling a lot about PKI, we can relate the emotional of the characters who tend to be sentimental when responding and overcoming the three songs related to the traumatic life of the 1965 G/ 30S / PKI stigma victims. We are invited to ponder how much our responsibility is to uphold universal values of humanity, justice and peace.
