Our birthplace,
Where we all arise to stand guard
Over this our Motherland:

Our nation, our people, and all
Arise then, its spirit,

For Great Indonesia.

And spirited her soul,
The nation and all the people.
Conscious be her heart
And her mind

Our victorious country:

Guarding our true Mother.

A country we love with all our heart,
Let's make a vow

Blessed be her people
And her sons,
All her islands, and her seas.
Fast be the country's progress
And the progress of her youth
