This paper aims to describe the language style of a song lyric by Ebiet G Ade with an environmental theme, namely "Doa Sepasang Petani Muda". This song was released in 1980 on the album Camelia 4. To describe the style of language in the lyrics of the song, a stylistic approach is used, namely an interdisciplinary linguistic approach used to analyze literary works. The data collection method used was a literature study with observing and note- taking techniques. The data analysis method used is a stylistic analysis which refers to the analysis model formulated by Rahmat Djoko Pradopo. The results of the analysis show that the style of language that builds the lyrics of the song "Doa Sepasang Petani Muda" by Ebiet G Ade cannot be separated based on the stylistic units independently because the discourse of the lyrics of the song is built by sound style, word style, and sentence style which are unified is filled with metaphors to build a holistic discourse, namely the request of a pair of young farmers to God to send rain immediately because the long dry season has caused their fields to dry up.
