Original lyrics

[edit]

(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

[edit]

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
