Lyrics

First verse:

Indonesia tanah air beta
Pusaka abadi nan jaya
Indonesia sejak dulu kala
Tetap dipuja-puja bangsa

Reff:

Di sana tempat lahir beta
Dibuai, dibesarkan bunda
Tempat berlindung di hari tua
Tempat akhir menutup mata

Second verse:

Sungguh indah tanah air beta
Tiada bandingnya di dunia
Karya indah Tuhan Maha Kuasa
Bagi bangsa yang memujanya

Reff:

Indonesia ibu pertiwi
Kau kupuja, kau kukasihi
Tenagaku bahkan pun jiwaku
Kepadamu rela kuberi

Lyrics' Translation in English

First Verse:

Indonesia, my homeland
An everlasting and glorious treasure
Indonesia, since time immemorial
Always praised by nations

Reff:

There, I was born
Nurtured, raised by mother
A place of refuge in old age
A final place to close my eyes

Second verse:

Indonesia, thou art beautiful
No other lands can compare
The work of the Lord Almighty
For a nation that praises Him

Reff:

Indonesia, motherland dear
I adore thee, I love thee
All my strength, my life even
I pledge to thee, my homeland.
