GREAT INDONESIA SONNET

By Wage Rudolf Supratman

(A Translation)

Indonesia my native land,

My place of birth

Where I stand guard,

Over my motherland

Indonesia my nationality, 

My people and my country

Let us all cry, 

For united Indonesia!

Long live my land,                                                            Great Indonesia 

Long live my country                                                        Free and independent

My nation and all my people                                            The land, the country I love

 

        Arouse their spirit                                                              Great Indonesia,   

        Arouse their bodies                                                           Free and independent  

        For great Indonesia!                                                           Long live Indonesia!

October 28^th 1928              August 17^th 1945            December 27^th 1949
