[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
