[Verse] Mountains rise tall shadows on the land Rivers carve the earth like an artist’s hand Suling whispers tales of the ancients Sape hums a forest-born cadence [Chorus] Pride of the nation beating in my chest The colors of the flag never take a rest We stand we fight we hold it high Indonesia my home till the day I die [Verse 2] Echoes in the valley Gamelan’s call Sweat on the brow We’ve seen it all From the islands’ edge to the city’s roar A heart that beats for the people’s core [Prechorus] Bamboo bends But it never breaks A thousand hands for the steps we take [Chorus] Pride of the nation beating in my chest The colors of the flag never take a rest We stand we fight we hold it high Indonesia my home till the day I die [Bridge] Winds of Sunda sing the story Fires of Kalimantan burn with glory We are the roots the branches the tree One soul one spirit for eternity
