Indonesian Lyrics


INDONESIA RAYA

''Verse I (Official)''

Indonesia, tanah airku, tanah tumpah darahku.

Di sanalah aku berdiri, jadi pandu ibuku.

Indonesia, kebangsaanku, bangsa dan tanah airku.

Marilah kita berseru, "Indonesia bersatu!"

Hiduplah tanahku, hiduplah neg'riku,

Bangsaku, rakyatku, semuanya.

Bangunlah jiwanya, bangunlah badannya

Untuk Indonesia Raya.



''CHORUS'':

Indonesia Raya, merdeka, merdeka

Tanahku, neg'riku yang kucinta.

Indonesia Raya, merdeka, merdeka

Hiduplah Indonesia Raya.

Indonesia Raya, merdeka, merdeka

Tanahku, neg'riku yang kucinta.

Indonesia Raya, merdeka, merdeka

Hiduplah Indonesia Raya.



''Verse II''

Indonesia tanah yang mulia, tanah kita yang kaya.

Disanalah aku berada untuk s'lama-lamanya.

Indonesia tanah pusaka, P'saka kita semuanya.

Marilah kita mendoa, "Indonesia bahagia!"

Suburlah tanahnya, suburlah jiwanya,

Bangsanya, rakyatnya, semuanya.

Sadarlah hatinya, Sadarlah budinya

Untuk Indonesia Raya.



''CHORUS''



''Verse III''

Indonesia, tanah yang suci, tanah kita yang sakti.

Di sanalah aku berdiri, Jaga ibu sejati.

Indonesia, tanah berseri, tanah yang aku sayangi.

Marilah kita berjanji, "Indonesia abadi!"

S'lamatlah Rakyatnya, S'lamatlah putranya,

Pulaunya, lautnya, semuanya.

Majulah negrinya, majulah pandunya

Untuk Indonesia Raya.



''CHORUS''



English Translation


GREAT INDONESIA

Indonesia my native land, the land where I shed my blood.

There I stand, being a soldier of my mother. (Note: "mother" here refers to ''ibu pertiwi'' which means 'motherland')

Indonesia my nationality, my nation and my country.

Let us exclaim "United Indonesia!"

Live my land, live my state,

My nation, my people, all.

Build its spirit, build its bodies

For Great Indonesia.



''CHORUS'':

Great Indonesia, independent and free,

My land, my country, which I love.

Great Indonesia, independent and free,

Live Great Indonesia.

Great Indonesia, independent and free,

My land, my country, which I love.

Great Indonesia, independent and free,

Live Great Indonesia.



Indonesia, an eminent country, our wealthy country.

There we shall be forever.

Indonesia, the country of our ancestors, a relic of all of us.

Let us pray for Indonesia's prosperity.

May her soil be fertile and spirited her soul,

The nation and all the people.

Conscious be her heart and her mind

For Indonesia the Great.



''CHORUS''



Indonesia, a sacred country, our victorious country.

There we stand, guarding our true Mother.

Indonesia, a beaming country, a country we love with all our heart.

Let's make a vow, "Indonesia be there forever!"

Blessed be her people and her sons,

All her islands, and her seas.

Fast be the country's progress and the progress of her youth

For Indonesia the Great.



''CHORUS''
