SELAMAT DATANG!

 

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! Tanah yang mulia,
Tanah kita yang kaya.
Disanalah aku berada
Untuk slama-lamanya.
Indonesia, Tanah pusaka,
Pusaka Kita semuanya.
Marilah kita mendoa,
"Indonesia bahagia!"
Suburlah Tanahnya,
Suburlah jiwanya,
Bansanya, Rakyatnya semuanya.
Sadarlah hatinya,
Sadarlah budinya
Untuk Indonesia Raya.

 

Indonesia, our native country,
Our birthplace,
Where we all arise to stand guard
Over this our Motherland:
Indonesia our nationality,
Our people and our country.
Come then, let us all exclaim
Indonesia united.
Long live our land,
Long live our state,
Our nation, our people, and all
Arise then, its spirit,
Arise, its bodies
For Great Indonesia.

CHORUS:
Indonesia the Great, independent and free,
Our beloved country.
Indonesia the Great, independent and free,
Long live Indonesia the Great!

Indonesia, an eminent country,
Our wealthy country,
There we shall be forever.
Indonesia, the country of our ancestors,
A relic of all of us.
Let us pray
For Indonesia's prosperity:
May her soil be fertile
And spirited her soul,
The nation and all the people.
Conscious be her heart
And her mind
For Indonesia the Great.

I started learning Indonesian while living in Jakarta, Indonesia. I studied 3 semesters at Universitas Indonesia, at their Indonesian language program for foreigners, an instensive 20 hours a week course. It was really great, they have excellent qualified teachers, a good, varied program where you learn a lot about different subjects like Indonesian culture, history, literature and politics, while immersing in the language.
