Indonesia Raya: The National Anthem 🇮🇩

Indonesia Raya is the national anthem of the Republic of Indonesia. The song was introduced by its composer, Wage Rudolf Supratman, on 28 October 1928 during the Second Indonesian Youth Congress in Batavia. The song marked the birth of the all-archipelago nationalist movement in Indonesia that supported the idea of one single "Indonesia" as successor to the Dutch East Indies, rather than split into several colonies.

Lyrics

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.

Refrain :
Indonesia Raya,
Merdeka, merdeka,
Tanahku, neg'riku yang kucinta!
Indonesia Raya,
Merdeka, merdeka,
Hiduplah Indonesia Raya.

Translation

Indonesia, my native land
The land where I shed my blood
Right there, I stand
To be the guide of my motherland

Indonesia, my nationality
My nation and my homeland
Let us exclaim
"Indonesia unite!"

Long live my land, long live my state
My nation, my people, entirely
Build its soul, build its body
For Great Indonesia

REFRAIN:
Great Indonesia, independent & free!
My land, my country which I love
Great Indonesia, independent & free!
Long live Indonesia the Great!

Great Indonesia, independent & free!
My land, my country which I love
Great Indonesia, independent & free!
Long live Indonesia the Great!
