Indonesia Raya (Instrumental)

The Indonesia Raya , older spelling Indonesia Raja ( Great Indonesia ), is the national anthem of Indonesia . It was composed in 1924 by Wage Rudolf Soepratman and presented to the public on October 28, 1928 at an all-Indonesian youth congress in Batavia .

The anthem, which emphasizes the unity of all of Indonesia, quickly became popular and was soon sung at many political demonstrations. After Indonesia's independence from the Netherlands in 1945, it was made the national anthem.

Text of the national anthem

Indonesian text German translation English translation

Indonesia tanah airku, tanah tumpah darahku
Di sanalah aku Berdiri, jadi pandu ibuku
Indonesia kebangsaanku, bangsa dan tanah airku
Marilah kita berseru, Indonesia Bersatu

Hiduplah tanahku, hiduplah negeriku
Bangsaku rakyatku Semuanya
Bangunlah jiwanya bangunlah badannya
Untuk Indonesia Raya

Indonesia, my motherland, the land where I shed my blood,
Here I stand as my mother's guardian.
Indonesia, my people, my nation and my country,
let's exclaim, "Indonesia is united!"

Long live my country, long live my state,
my nation, all my people, all
wake up with soul and body,
For the great Indonesia!

Indonesia my native land, the land where I shed my blood.
There I stand, as a guard of my mother.
Indonesia my nationality, my nation and my country.
Let us exclaim "Indonesia Unites!"

Long live my land, long live my state,
My nation, my people, everyone.
Awaken your spirit, awaken your bodies
For Great Indonesia!
