Lyrics

Indonesia Raya

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 negeriku,
bangsaku, rakyatku, semuanya.
Bangunlah jiwanya,
bangunlah badannya,
untuk Indonesia Raya!

English translation

Indonesia, my homeland,
the land of my birth.
There I stand
to guide my motherland.

Indonesia, my nationality,
my nation and my homeland.
Let us all proclaim:
“Indonesia unites!”

Long live my land,
long live my country,
my nation, my people, all of them.
Awaken their spirit,
awaken their bodies,
for a Great Indonesia!
