Indonesia Raya (Great Indonesia) is a national anthem of Indonesia since independence. This song firstly introduced in Kongres Pemuda II (Second Youth Congress), on 2 October 1928 in Batavia (now Jakarta). This song marked the birth of nationalist movement of Indonesia as one nation. The first stanza of Indonesia Raya was chosen as the national anthem when Indonesia proclaimed its independence at 17 August 1945. Jozef Cleber, a Dutch composer, created an arrangement of the tune for philharmonic orchestra in 1950.

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.

Indonesia Raya,

Merdeka, merdeka,

Tanahku, neg'riku yang kucinta!

Merdeka, merdeka,

Hiduplah Indonesia Raya!

Indonesia Raya,

Merdeka, merdeka,

Tanahku, neg'riku yang kucinta!

Indonesia Raya,

Merdeka, merdeka,

Hiduplah Indonesia Raya!

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