Lyrics

The lyrics are as following:

Original lyrics

(in Indonesian)

First verse:

Kulihat ibu pertiwi

Sedang bersusah hati

Air matanya berlinang

Mas intannya terkenang

Hutan gunung sawah lautan

Simpanan kekayaan

Kini ibu sedang lara

Merintih dan berdoa

Second verse:

Kulihat ibu pertiwi

Kami datang berbakti

Lihatlah putra-putrimu

Menggembirakan ibu

Ibu kami tetap cinta

Putramu yang setia

Menjaga harta pusaka

Untuk nusa dan bangsa

Translation

First verse:

I see Motherland (Ibu Pertiwi: personification of Indonesia)

(She is) in sorrow

Her tears are flowing

Remembering your (lost) golds and diamonds

Forests, mountains, farms, and the seas

Home of the treasures (richness)

Now Mother is grieving

Sighing sadly and praying

Second verse:

I see Motherland

We come to serve (you)

Behold your sons and daughters

They will make Mother happy

Mother, we still love (you)

Your faithful sons

Guarding the heirloom

For our homeland and nation

Adoption of Christian Hymn music

Although the lyrics were originally composed, the music and melody of this adaptation resembled the Christian hymn What a Friend We Have in Jesus, originally written by Joseph M. Scriven as a poem in 1855. The hymn is sung in Indonesian as Yesus Kawan yang Sejati and in Toba Batak as Ise do Alealenta and is popular in Batak churches, as well as in Protestant and Roman Catholic churches. Even though Indonesia has a statistically larger Muslim community, the hymn is quite widely known. Prior his death in 1958, the melody of the music was adopted by Kamsidi Samsuddin, the composer of the Ibu Pertiwi song.

In popular culture

"Ibu Pertiwi" is used as the theme song of 2019 film adaptation of This Earth of Mankind, performed by Iwan Fals, Once and Fiersa Besari.^[2]

 ==Adoption of Christian Hymn music==
-Although the lyrics was originally composed, the music and melody of this song somehow resembled the a [[Christian hymn]] [[What a Friend We Have in Jesus]] originally written by Joseph M. Scriven as a poem in 1855. In Indonesia, the hymn is known as "Yesus Kawan Sejati" and is sung in Indonesian by [[Batak people]] in [[Protestant]] churches in Indonesia. The majority of Indonesians are muslim and consequently the hymn is not widely known. Probably prior 1967 the same music was adopted by an unknown composer of Ibu Pertiwi song.
