"Indonesia Pusaka" (English: Indonesia, the Heritage) is a patriotic song composed by Ismail Marzuki.[1][2] It is usually performed on Indonesian Independence Day celebrations, in university graduation ceremonies, and as a closing broadcast in several television stations at midnight. The song’s motif is Indonesia, as a ‘homeland’ or ‘motherland’,[3] and how Indonesians will fight for her with all of their might.[1] This song is the favorite patriotic song of Mohammad Hatta, one of the founding fathers of Indonesia.[1]
First verse:
Indonesia tanah air beta
Pusaka abadi nan jaya
Indonesia sejak dulu kala
Tetap dipuja-puja bangsa
Reff:
Di sana tempat lahir beta
Dibuai, dibesarkan bunda
Tempat berlindung di hari tua
Tempat akhir menutup mata
Second verse:
Sungguh indah tanah air beta
Tiada bandingnya di dunia
Karya indah Tuhan Maha Kuasa
Bagi bangsa yang memujanya
Reff:
Indonesia ibu pertiwi
Kau kupuja, kau kukasihi
Tenagaku bahkan pun jiwaku
Kepadamu rela kuberi
Lyrics' translation in English
First Verse:
Indonesia, my homeland
An everlasting and glorious treasure
Indonesia, since time immemorial
Always praised by nations
Refrain:
There, I was born
Nurtured, raised by mother
A place of refuge in old age
A final place to close my eyes
Second verse:
Indonesia, thou art beautiful
No other lands can compare
The work of the Lord Almighty
For a nation that praises Him
Refrain:
Indonesia, motherland dear
I adore thee, I love thee
All my strength, my life even
I pledge to thee, my homeland.
