Our Unforgettable Motherland

The white is like our bond

The red is like our blood

It runs through our veins

The flag flies high in the air

As high as the blue sky

 

As blue as the seas of Indonesia

As deep as the divers go

To swim with Manta rays

As sunny as Mola-mola, the ocean sunfish

Deep beneath Bali sea

By sunbathing on the surface to be known

 

Eye-catching Bali is mostly chosen to be in the list of the bucket

To travel to

To witness the culture of the land

The traditions and the people

remaining calm and peace of Indonesia

 

Diversity spoken in over 800 languages

Found across more than 17,000 islands

Seen in nature, too:

Mountains and waterfalls on the Java island

Rare Orang Utan in Kalimantan

Huge Toba lake in north Sumatra

Memorable Natsepa beach in Ambon

Warm Pink Beach Komodo Island in East Nusa Tenggara

 

The beautiful bird of paradise, the Cendrawasih of Papua

Dancing to court the females

Its voice recognized deep in the forest 

Same things with our amazing voice

Singing our anthem and national songs

Doing our traditional dances at every event

 

Everything is unforgettable

We proudly call our country 

as the Wonderful Indonesia
