The song maybe has similar meaning to our saying: harimau mati meninggalkan belang, gajah mati meninggalkan gading, manusia mati meninggalkan nama" (tiger dies leaving the stripes, elephant dies leaving the tusks, human dies leaving the name). Be good, do the right things, then you will be remembered as a good man

All in all, the philosophical meaning of this song is about life, death, and what we brought to the life after death. I guess the previous owner of the wedung was influenced by this song.
