My Homeland (Indonesia)

My Homeland (Indonesia)

Indonesia, my beloved homeland,

Emerald of the equator, a jewel that proudly stands.

Thousands of islands stretch out vast and wide,

Seas embrace, mountains rise tall with pride.

From Sabang to Merauke,

Diverse cultures, traditions that stand the test of time.

Batik painted with beautiful motifs,

Rendang that awakens the taste buds, a fragrant aroma.

The sound of the gamelan resonates with soulful melody,

Pendet dance graceful and lively.

Children run through the yellowing rice fields,

Joyful laughter, a bright future.

Mount Bromo spews its grayish smoke,

Lake Toba stretches vast, its blueness unparalleled.

Komodo dragons walk with a powerful stride on the land of Flores,

Orangutans swing in the dense forests of Kalimantan.

Indonesia, my land rich in bounty,

Green tropical forests, source of life.

People united, hand in hand,

Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, a motto of pride.

Oh, Indonesia, my beloved homeland,

May peace always accompany your steps.

May the young generation continue to create,

Building the nation, a bright future.
