The euphoria and mock were reconstructed in the folksong lyrics of Ende-ende. Lyrics of the foksong are analyzed by using semiotic technique that introduced by Pierce. The study is designed qualitatively by applying ethnopuitic approach. Semiotic analysis to comprehend the lyrics of the folksong is connected to the historical incidents happened in the middle of 17th century which were symbolized in the lyrics. Data of the incidents were taken through library exploration and through oral story that told by story tellers. Through the analysis, symbolic lyrics of folksong Ende-ende reveal collective joy of Munanese people in the middle of 17th century when La Ode Kadiri, the king of Muna was released by Munanese warriors from the exile.
