National Anthem Of Indonesia
Words by: Wage Rudolf Soepratman
Music by: Wage Rudolf Soepratman
Adopted: 1945
The song first appeared as a Nationalist Party song (the party working for independence of Indonesia from the Netherlands) in 1928 and was published in a Chinese Indonesian newspaper "Sin Po" under the title "Indonesia" that same year. The colonial Dutch authorities tolerated the use of the anthem, provided the chorus had the line "Mulia, Mulia" (Hourable, honourable) instead of "Merdeka, Merdeka!" (Independent and free!). During the Japanese occupation in WWII, the anthem was only permitted during the final few months and, after the Japanese occupation ended upon its surrender at the end of the war, it became the national anthem. In 1944, the words were slightly revised (including the restoration of the "Merdeka, Merdeka!" line), and in 1958 it was declared that only the first verse would be official.
Indonesian 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 negeriku
Bangsaku, rakyatku, semuanya
Bangunlah jiwanya, bangunlah badannya
Untuk Indonesia Raya
CHORUS:
Indonesia Raya, merdeka, merdeka!
Tanahku, negeriku yang kucinta
Indonesia Raya, merdeka, merdeka!
Hiduplah Indonesia Raya!
Indonesia Raya, merdeka, merdeka!
Tanahku, negeriku yang kucinta
Indonesia Raya, merdeka, merdeka!
Hiduplah Indonesia Raya!

Indonesia, my native land
The land where I shed my blood
There, I stand
To be the guard of my motherland
Indonesia, my nationality
My nation and my homeland
Let us exclaim
"Indonesia unites!"
Long live my land, long live my state
My nation, my people, entirely
Build its soul, build its body
For the Great Indonesia

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