Indonesia, my homeland

The land where I shed my blood

Right there, I stand

To be a guide 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

Let us build its soul, let us build its body

For the Great Indonesia

 

REFRAIN:

Great Indonesia, independent & sovereign!

My land, my country which I love

Great Indonesia, independent & sovereign!

Long live Great Indonesia!
