I love playing national anthems. The emotion involved can't be matched by any other songs... I personally think Indonesia Raya, my national anthem, has beautiful melody and lyric, but more importantly, it is my identity as an Indonesian. Lyrics in Bahasa Indonesia: "Indonesia Raya" 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 neg'riku, Bangsaku, rakyatku, semuanya. Bangunlah jiwanya, bangunlah badannya Untuk Indonesia Raya! CHORUS: Indonesia Raya, merdeka, merdeka Tanahku, neg'riku yang kucinta. Indonesia Raya, merdeka, merdeka Hiduplah Indonesia Raya! (*2) English translation: "Great Indonesia" Indonesia my native land, the land where I shed my blood There I stand, being a soldier of my motherland Indonesia my nationality, my nation and my country Let us exclaim "United Indonesia!" Live my land, live my state, My nation, my people, all. Build its spirit, build its bodies For Great Indonesia! CHORUS: Great Indonesia, independent and free, My land, my country, which I love. Great Indonesia, independent and free, Live Great Indonesia! (*2) ------------------------- List of national anthems I could play: Indonesia Raya (Indonesia) The Star Spangled Banner (United States of America) God Save The Queen (United Kingdom) Lupang Hinirang (Philippines) Das Lied der Deutschen (Germany) La Marseillaise (France) Il Canto degli Italiani (Italy) Wilhelmus van Nassouwe (Netherlands)
