Bahasa Indonesia 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 negriku,
Bangsaku, Rakyatku, semuanya.
Bangunlah jiwanya, Bangunlah badannya
Untuk Indonesia Raya.

CHORUS: Indonesia Raya,
Merdeka, Merdeka
Tanahku, negriku yang kucinta.

Indonesia Raya,
Merdeka, Merdeka
Hiduplah Indonesia Raya.

CHORUS

GREAT INDONESIA

Indonesia our native country, our birthplace.
Where we all arise, to stand guard over this our Motherland.
Indonesia our nationality, our people and our country.
Come then, let us all exclaim "Indonesia united."

Long live our land, Long live our state,
Our nation, our people, and all.
Arise then, its spirit, Arise, its bodies
For Great Indonesia.

Indonesia the Great,
independent and free,
Our beloved country.

Indonesia the Great,
independent and free,
Long live Indonesia the Great!
