Original Lyrics in Indonesian
Indonesia tanah airku,
Tanah tumpah darahku,
Disanalah aku berdiri,
Jadi pandu ibuku.
Indonesia kebangsaanku,
Bangsa dan tanah airku,
Marilah kita berseru,
Indonesia bersatu.
Hiduplah tanahku,
Hiduplah negriku,
Bangsaku, rakyatku, semuanya,
Bangunlah jiwanya,
Bangunlah badannya,
Untuk Indonesia Raya.
Chorus:
Indonesia Raya, merdeka, merdeka,
Tanahku, negriku yang kucinta,
Indonesia Raya, merdeka, merdeka,
Hiduplah Indonesia Raya.
Indonesia Raya, merdeka, merdeka,
Tanahku, negriku yang kucinta,
Indonesia Raya, merdeka, merdeka,
Hiduplah Indonesia Raya.
