Текст и перевод песни Fiersa Besari - Cerita Rakyat

Cerita Rakyat

Katanya negeriku kaya raya
Tapi banyak yang teraniaya
Katanya sudah tidak dijajah
Tapi masih banyak orang susah

Kudengar kita bangsa yang ramah
Tapi gemar sekali marah-marah
Konon dipimpin orang-orang hebat
Tapi hobi curi uang rakyat

Kita hidup di negara
Yang jauh dari sempurna
Tapi selama aku bernyawa
'Kan kujaga Indonesia

Orang miskin tidak boleh sakit
Karena birokrasi dipersulit
Orang pandai tak boleh mengkritik
Nanti pencemaran nama baik

Laut dan sawah terhampar luas
Tapi masih impor garam dan beras
Ibu Pertiwi sangatlah indah
Jangan jatuh ke tangan yang salah

Proklamasi
Kami, bangsa Indonesia
Dengan ini menyatakan kemerdekaan Indonesia

Kita hidup di negara
Yang jauh dari sempurna
Tapi selama aku bernyawa
'Kan kujaga Indonesia

Sampai tak lagi bernyawa
'Kan kujaga Indonesia

Folklore

They say my country is rich
But many suffer hardship
They say we are no longer colonized
But many people still struggle

I hear we are a friendly nation
But we are quick to anger
Supposedly led by brilliant people
But they like to steal money from the people

We live in a country
That is far from perfect
But as long as I breathe
I will protect Indonesia

The poor cannot afford to get sick
Because the bureaucracy makes it difficult
The intelligent cannot criticize
Or they will be defamed

Our seas and rice fields stretch far and wide
But we still import salt and rice
Mother Earth is so beautiful
May she not fall into the wrong hands

Proclamation
We, the people of Indonesia
Hereby declare the independence of Indonesia

We live in a country
That is far from perfect
But as long as I breathe
I will protect Indonesia

Until my last breath
I will protect Indonesia
